Playing to a crowd of 14,000 people as your first major concert is cool at any age, but when you get to open for Tim McGraw the day after your 20th birthday, it’s one of the best birthday presents in the world. Dakota Bradley hit the stage at Salt River Fields in Arizona on a warm Saturday night to the warm reception of a big crowd of country music fans.

The crowd was treated to a variety of songs off his upcoming debut release that Tim McGraw co-produced, along with a few covers. Not only is he a talented singer, but Dakota also knows how to play guitar and he plays it well. With a huge smile pasted on his face, he spent 45 minutes rocking out exactly where he belonged. The crowd watched the sun set and the stage lights colored the stage.

Around 8:45, Tim took to the stage to the screams and hollers of the 14,000+ in attendance. Each and every person was on their feet dancing and singing along with Tim as he and his band entertained the crowd for the next hour and a half. Singing hits from all of his albums, Tim kept the crowd going the entire time. From the front row to the outskirts of the stadium, fans kept singing and partying until the very last note. It was an incredible sight to see and one I will never forget.
