FROM THE EYES OF A FAN: A CONCERT FAN REVIEW - CANAAN SMITH / SALINAS COUNTY FAIR




ARTIST: CANAAN SMITH
EVENT: SALINAS COUNTY FAIR - KING CITY, CA
DATE: MAY 18, 2012
GUEST REVIEWER: DANIELLE MANN

Thank you to our guest on-site reviewer, Danielle Mann for sharing her memories and opinion of Canaan Smith's performance on May 18, 2012, at the Salinas County Fair in King City, CA.


This year's fair was great with the weather and the people. This year's concert on the Steinbeck stage was supposed to be Love & Theft. When I heard they weren't going to be there, I wondered why so I looked on their website and it said they were at another concert out of state. The local newspaper came out and announced that Canaan Smith was the artist who would replace Love & Theft. 

I've heard of Canaan Smith's song, but never really knew who sang it. His breakout hit "We Got Us" is leading the way and it's only natural because Canaan was a contestant in tv's "The Amazing Race." He's opened up for Sugarland, Dierks Bentley, and Darius Rucker. 

The start of the night was awesome, of course I was right in front of the stage singing along. Canaan Smith is the type of artist that gets involved with his fans by talking to them and asking questions during his performance. After his set was done, some of the girls and I went backstage to get pictures taken and get autographs. We were never rushed and the band even talked to us and gave us hugs. What an amazing night. Canaan's website is www.canaansmith.com. Go check it out to learn more about him and find out his tour dates.
