My husband and I have been following Kina Grannis since she won the Doritos: Crash the Super Bowl Contest.
She recently came out with her first album and it pretty good.
Mac and I have been following Kina Grannis‘s music for the last couple of years. Some might remember that she won the Doritos: Crash the Super Bowl in 2007.
By winning this contest she was awarded a record deal and her first album is finally out. It’s been a long couple of years but it’s finally here. You can purchase it from iTunes or Amazon. Here are some of the original versions of the songs on her album. I have to admit, some I didn’t like when she posted on youtube, but listening to the studio recorded versions, I’m liking them much more. I hope to get more people on to Kina. She has a good sound and is very likable.
Her new single, Valentine.
The song that won the contest, Message from your Heart
This past weeked was the 5th annual Kermit Celebration Days. It was a pretty good day besides my chest getting sunburned bright red. What we were really looking forward to this past weekend was not the fact that we got to walk around and smell all the wonderful food, and go through all the vendors. We were really excited to see Kevin Fowler in concert.
I don’t know how they manage it, but Kermit, for the past two years, have been able to put on a free concert for everyone at the celebration days. They put up a stage in front of the courthouse and everyone either stand in front of the stage or for the people who don’t want to stand for an hour and a half, you can bring chairs and sit on the courthouse lawn. I know there were so many more people there than there was last year. I heard there were cars backed up all they way outside of the city limits because so many people were trying to get in.
Even though there were so many people who showed up, almost every person I told that we were going to get to see Kevin Fower was like ‘Who’s that?’ and it shocked me that not many people know about Kevin. We’ve known about him for awhile now and he’s one of our favorite singers. He plays what people know as ‘Texas Country‘. He has had some nationally known hits but it still pretty small in the business.. Many might know him from his album ‘Beer, Bait and Ammo’ which is personally one of my favorite songs. I’m posting a playlist of some of my favorite Kevin songs.. including 100% Texan because it would be a sin for a Texan not to like that song
Anyway, we had a complete blast at the concert. Dani was a little upset because a friend of hers wasn’t able to join us and she didn’t want to spend the whole night hanging out with the parents but I think she got over it pretty quick. He played a few new songs from his new album and one of them is so funny but is such a horrible song. It’s called ‘Knocked Up’ and includes the lyrics “Well you got knocked up, And I got locked up. I guess you’d say that we both got screwed. Well you got locked out, And I got knocked out. And I guess you’re gonna miss a lot of school.” Isn’t that horrible? lol..
