On Friday night (12/9), Brantley Gilbert made a stop in Wichita Falls during his  2011 Taste of Country Christmas Tour with special guest Thomas Rhett.   Both are amazing recording artists on the rise, which made it no surprise that the show was sold out.  About 1,500 country/rock fans filled the Denim & Diamonds night club that night - the weather was cold outside, but the entertainment was hot inside.

Thomas Rhett, son of country music star Rhett Atkins, gave the show a good solid opening followed by Brantley who wasted no time performing his chart topping hit 'Country Must Be Country Wide'; breaking it out as the third song he played.  From 'Kick it in the Sticks, to Branltey and Thomas singing 'Dirt Road Anthem' together - the show was an amazing night of country music!

If you weren't there, you missed a hell of a show.  Check out this gallery of pics courtesy of our good friend Jessica Wood of j-wood photography (and some by our own Dave Diamond)
