NEW FOUND GLORY ACOUSTIC LIVE!! | HAW RIVER BALLROOM

In the very small and beautiful town of Saxapahaw, NC, the concert goers lined up the road to get into the Haw River Ballroom for a very intimate concert. The Ballroom, to which I have never been to or even heard of, was just simply amazing. It's the perfect size for a concert where there is no bad seat. No matter where you were, you could see the stage and artist. The staff were amazing and easy to work with. Now, to the concert.

Leanna Firestone opened up the evening and it was amazing. This was an acoustic show, it was just here and her guitar. She has an amazing voice and between the singing and talking to the crowd, you really got a good look at who she is. She had some very personal songs and still was smiling and telling jokes to the crowd. The crowd was singing back to her and you can tell it meant the world to her. She is definitely an artist to keep your eye on.

Now, for the headliner that people came to see...NEW FOUND GLORY took the stage! Even with it being an acoustic set, they still threw it down. The Haw River Ballroom was legit packed by the time they took the stage. They played the hits and some newer songs. Now, I must admit, it's been since high school since I have even heard of them. Now to see them still performing was amazing. The crowd didn't miss a beat either. I'm 99.99% sure they sang along to every single song. This is definitely a show to see if they come to a city near you!
