singer\/songwriter Nolan Taylor, singer\/guitarist Clarke Sexton and his band (who all also was Nolan&#8217;s band on this night) and singer\/songwriter Justin Wells.<\/p><p>Justin Wells started the show with just himself and an acoustic guitar.\u00a0 No band backing him, although he does have a band.<\/p><p>His songs and storytelling are very heartfelt, funny, and very good.\u00a0 He sounded great and the crowd really enjoyed hearing him.<\/p><p>Next up was Clarke Sexton and his great band.\u00a0 They were a little more upbeat, but also still quite melodic and musically very diverse.\u00a0 Clarke Sexton is a great singer and guitarist, and his band is phenomenal.\u00a0<\/p><p>Then Nolan Taylor came on, again backed by Clarke Sexton and his band.<\/p><p>Nolan is also a very good singer\/songwriter and has a lot of stories to tell in his songs.<\/p><p>I&#8217;ll be honest, all of these people were unknown to me before seeing them, and even though I thought there were way too many ballads played for my taste (and I love ballads but not 3 hours of them), everyone did a great job and the crowd loved them.<\/p><p>I hope all of these guys have great success.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6be37e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6be37e2\"

of Concert: Friday, May 10, 2024 Location of Concert: Paramount Arts Center in Ashland, KY My friend Jamie McClintic and I went to a concert on May 10 near where I live:\u00a0 the Paramount Arts Center. We saw singer\/songwriter Nolan Taylor, singer\/guitarist Clarke Sexton and his band (who all also was Nolan&#8217;s band on this night) and singer\/songwriter Justin Wells. Justin Wells started the show with just himself and an acoustic guitar.\u00a0 No band backing him, although he does have a band. His songs and storytelling are very heartfelt, funny, and very good.\u00a0 He sounded great and the crowd really enjoyed hearing him. Next up was Clarke Sexton and his great band.\u00a0 They were a little more upbeat, but also still quite melodic and musically very diverse.\u00a0 Clarke Sexton is a great singer and guitarist, and his band is phenomenal.\u00a0 Then Nolan Taylor came on, again backed by Clarke Sexton and his band. Nolan is also a very good singer\/songwriter and has a lot of stories to tell in his songs. I&#8217;ll be honest, all of these people were unknown to me before seeing them, and even though I thought there were way too many ballads played for my taste (and I love ballads but not 3 hours of them), everyone did a great job and the crowd loved them. I hope all of these guys have great success.\u00a0\u00a0 Photo Gallery (click on thumbnail to view larger image)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-concerts"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26642"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26668,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26642\/revisions\/26668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diaryofanardentfan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
