Stars in the making

litlover12I saw Edens Edge perform live for the first time, tonight at a dive in Maryland. I didn't realize quite how dive-y it was; in fact, I'm now reconsidering my decision to go see Chris Young there in November. (If I had someone to go with me I might, but as it is, I think I'll wait for him to come somewhere a little nicer! And closer, as it's quite a trek over there.)
Still, dive or no dive, it was amazing to see them in person. Hannah Blaylock, their lead singer, is a little powerhouse -- can't be much more than four feet tall in her (very) high heels, but when she walks out onto a stage, she owns it. Enough voice and personality and energy to fill a football stadium, never mind a small dive. I don't mean to overdo the hyperbole, but this girl very clearly has "it" -- that thing that makes a star, whatever you want to call it. It hits you the second you see her. As for the instrumentalists, Cherrill Green and Dean Berner, they were wonderful, and obviously having a blast. This group is going places; they know how to have fun, and boy, do they know how to perform. In fact, they've just started a gig opening for Reba -- a concert I'd love to see, but alas, it's not coming here.

mosinging1986, you'll appreciate this -- Hannah was chatting with the crowd about jobs that she and the others had had in Nashville while working towards their big break. And one of her jobs was being a nanny! (With all that energy, I'll bet she wore the kids out.) One day she'd just put the kids down for a nap when Dean called up saying that he was in a songwriting session, and he and the others wanted to write her a new song. So they put her on speakerphone and she told them stories about her childhood, and they wrote a song about those memories. :-) Good times.
Got a few pictures below the cut!
