Isaac French opened the show at the Stanley Theatre Thursday night. Some fans waited in mid 90 degree temps for a few hours, and happy to see the doors open. Mr.French a solo acoustic act and opening his first big show for Rodney Atkins.When he was asked if he was interested how could he refuse such an offer. Isaac started singing more along the lines of rock music and as things progessed switched over to country and he knew thats where he needed to be. Isaac had quite the following come to the Stanley to see him and made their presence known. Lots of screams throughout the show, even after Isaac was off the stage. The Stanley is a beautiful venue and has a wide array of events going on all the time. French was lingering in the hall with tons of fans taking photos after his set was over.

Rodney Atkins, the renowned American country music artist, has captivated audiences with his chart-topping hits like "Watching You," "If You're Going Through Hell," and "Take a Back Road." Famed for his rich, resonant voice and poignant songwriting, Atkins has garnered a loyal following and solidified his position as a leading force within the country music realm. Rodney told the crowd when he first got started his music was turned down and they didn’t want him to put out certain songs. Well he did anyways and even played in many flea market type of places along his journey through NY. He’s super grateful for his fans and all of the military,police and first responders.Says without them he cant do what he loves to do. He knows the true meaning of how he got where he is today!

Rodney’s wife even joined the band on stage to cover a few songs. What a nice touch to see her sharing the stage with her long time partner. I’m sure shes his biggest fan and supporter. Many people had Rodney T-Shirts on and even some home-made, which shows their true support for their favorite artist. I know personally one young man finally got to meet his idol in person after several years of waiting. He was about 4 yrs old and a huge fan for many years.

Through his music, he touched the lives of family, love, and just everyday existence, forging a profound connection with fans nationwide. Atkins remains actively engaged in touring and producing fresh tracks, upholding his stature as an esteemed and genuine presence in the vibrant tapestry of country music. Rodney Atkins even gave high fives/hand shakes and what seemed like two dozen guitar picks out to the crowd.
