Wilson Wonder: Country Powerhouse!
by Apple on 5/22/24Gretchen Wilson was UNREAL! ???? Her voice and energy were electrifying! ???? Best concert ever! ??
Lineup
Gretchen Wilson made headlines as a country star when her debut single “Redneck Woman” reached the top of the country singles chart. She was the first country artist to do that in years, and her single was the quickest to reach No. 1 in decades. Wilson’s country twang, sassy attitude and deep, soulful vocals draw fans to her concerts and tours, and the honesty in songs like “Redneck Woman” are her ticket to superstardom. Wilson’s most recent release, on her own record label (Redneck), is Christmas in My Heart – the last of three released in 2013, which include Right on Time and Under the Covers as the first two.
Wilson had a rough upbringing in rural Illinois, but she credits her girlhood with instilling in her the tough and strong attitude that makes her so popular with fans. At the age of 15, Wilson was discovered singing in bars and joined her first band, Sam-A-Lama. While “Redneck Woman” shot to the top of the charts and also earned her a 2004 Grammy Award, Wilson has released other successful tunes, like 2004’s “Here for the Party,” which reached the No. 3 spot on the Country Singles chart and the No. 39 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, and 2005’s “Homewrecker,” which reached No. 2 on the Country Singles chart and No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. Wilson has come into her own as the head of her own label, and with the three new records she put out in 2013, she has proven that she remains a strong, powerful presence in the country music industry.??

Gretchen Wilson was amazing! We had excellent seats, Gretchen’s voice is so strong, she was fun and involved the crowd a ton.
First time going to a Gretchen Wilson concert. She and her band was great!! Can't wait to see her again!!
Gretchen Wilson put on a great show in Lincoln, RI. The Event Center at Twin River casino is an odd place for concerts since it is basically just a function room with a stage. This didn't matter to Gretchen as she tore the roof off the place and did a great job! We had a great time dancing to all of her hits and covers. She even sang "Barracuda" by my favorite band, Heart! We can't wait until she's back in New England!
The band was too loud and we couldn’t understand what she was saying. After about 30 minutes we gave up and left.
I was unable to make it to the concert. I had no babysitter. Gretchen Wilson is amazing her music has inspired me since I was a girl.
Gretchen put on a hell of a show. Also enjoyed Jess G.
There was not a bad seat in the house. I liked how she was on stage. She has an awesome powerful voice! She is worth seeing I have 4 times. Her opening act Jessie G . For the first time seeing her I was very impressed.
I've always wanted to see Gretchen Wilson! Soooooo happy I finally got to see her play, and the location at penns peak was perfect! I usually dont like to go to concerts because I hate crowds. But I never felt uncomfortable while at penns peak. The place wasn't overly packed, easy to navigate, friendly people, food was reasonably priced! And delicious:) I will definitely go back for the experience!
Gretchen Wilson is sexy as hell and puts on an amazing show. Jessie G was a great starting act.
