Sunny Sweeney at The Granada

Sunny Sweeney a native Texan was the opener for Ralph Stanley at the Granada. I actually went early so I could get some shots of her.

Sunny definitely has a more traditional sound. Which to some is surprising because she's pretty young she just turned 31. To me that's just her having an appreciation for that style. Nothing wrong with that.

She definitely puts on the charm on stage and you know she loves being up there. Definitely camera friendly which we photographers always appreciate.

Before I want to say it was the 2nd song she did. I was still shooting so it all runs together for the first 3. She mentioned she had written the song with Radney Foster. Which gives her bonus points in my book because Radney is a songwriting legend and also amazing. If you get the chance to see him go. He might just even break out into "Real Fine Place to Start" a song you most likely know by Sara Evans but he wrote it.

Funny little tid bit. When I went back down to the front to shoot Ralph, she came down and sat down on the ground and watched the first few songs and took a couple pictures with her point and shoot from down there. It was kinda cool to see she was just as excited to see the show as she was to perform.

Anywho here's a few more shots from her set.

Alright well more to come later.
