As if the beaches of Southern California aren’t enough on their own, events like the Coastal Country Jam, held this year on September 23-24, should lure you from near and far. With a great line-up that included such bands as Lady Antebellum, Brett Young, Eli Young Band, and Old Dominion, this two day festival is a must for country music fans or just music lovers. And yes, in case you were wondering, there were plenty of cowboy boots in the sand at Huntington Beach.
The Coastal Country Jam was a small village of interesting shops, food vendors, music stages, and a giant ferris wheel over looking the ocean along Huntington Beach California. Days in the sun, colorful sunsets, and crescent moons were an added appeal to the quality music that blasted from the main stage. This concert brought the best parts of laid back beach life to entertainment. Loads of beach chairs, giant beanbag chairs for two, and hammocks were set out for comfortable listening. A plus being that all seats had to be low so even from the ground the views were great.
If you wanted to dance your heart out and get up close and personal with the stars there was plenty of standing room right up front. The stage was complete with runway so even if you couldn’t get right in there early next to the main speakers, you could get great shots when the musicians made there way out into the crowd. I loved being able to go back and forth between my beanbag and the “front row”.
The highlight of the night for me was Lady Antebellum. The band has personality, a kicking brass section, and familiar tunes. They also did some amazing cover songs as part of their act. Some you might expect like Still the One by Shania Twain, others might be a surprise like Take It Easy by the Eagles and Honky Tonk Woman by The Rolling Stones.
Overall Coastal Country Jam was a beautiful setting, gorgeous SoCal weather, and top notch talent. The artists were a treat to listen to for two days and I can’t wait for the series to come around again next year!
