SPRING semester
Rodney Atkins KATIE MEFFERD Memorial Auditorium is no stranger to a variety of country artists and Rodney Atkins was no different. Many people clad in plaid shirts and cowboy hats filed in the packed house on March 28th anticipating a great show. Tyler Farr began the show, followed by Josh Thompson with Rodney Atkins bringing down the house with fan favorites, “If You’re Going Through Hell” and “Watching You”. Atkins was the third country artist to perform in Athens this school year and he didn’t disappoint. Senior Sara Dorsten says, “I would say that Rodney Atkins was by far my favorite concert of the year. I had the opportunity to meet him before the show and he was super nice.” This concert had a unique flare because of the different performance styles of each artist. Dorsten continued, “Tyler Farr was acoustic, Josh Thompson had more of a rock feel and Rodney had more that twang country sound. The difference made it entertaining to watch and listen to.” Rodney Atkins definitely closed a year stock full of country artists with a bang!
