A “girl-powered night” occurred in New York Jan. 20 uneashing a powerful night of Country Music Stars…CMT’s Next Women of Country. The list includes: Tara Thompson, Lindsay Ell, Brandy Clark and Jennifer Nettles…all taking the stage at the Beacon Theater. Tara Thompson and Lindsay Ell started it all…getting the crowd ready before the others came on stage. The crowd was asking for more…and more they got! Clark sang songs from her upcoming record and played “Girl Next Door” and “Homecoming Queen,” a song about a dead-end marriage. Jennifer Nettles was the headliner, singing“Playing With Fire,” “a solo single, but didn’t stay away from Sugarland songs, playing “Stay” and “Something More,” among others.” “Highlights included the star rapping portion of Salt ‘n Peppa’s “Shoop” and her duet with guest star Sara Bareilles.” An all female night to remember….with a most excepting crowd….”Go Girls!!”
