The amphitheater looked to be at capacity as thousands of fans filled the seats and lawn - many clad in cowboy hats and boots – to see the opening artist BRELAND.

Daniel Gerard Breland, known by the all-cap mononym BRELAND appeared on stage to the sound of booming drums and singing his new hit song “Cowboy Don’t”.

This 27-year-old rising country star, BRELAND is new on the music scene with his first single, “My Truck” released in 2019, and his debut album, “Cross Country”, was released in September of 2022.

His music is a hybrid of country, soul, R&B, gospel, and country rap, and BRELAND brings an upbeat energy to country music. Check out his music at Indy CD and Vinyl – it’s a new sound for county music fans, and BRELAND is one to watch!

When it was time for Shania Twain to take the stage, her band started performing with no sight of the star. Suddenly she sprung out of a box near the rear of the pavilion singing “Wake-up Dreaming”. Shania spent the entire song with the audience giving high-fives and hugs as they pushed her through the crowd and eventually went behind the stage for a quick wardrobe change.

After the up-close and personal arrival, she took center stage singing “Up” while the crowd sang and danced along.

The "Queen of Country Pop" has been at this for over 30 years, and it showed. Despite previous bouts with Lyme disease and COVID, Twain put on an energetic crowd-pleasing show with a powerful message of womanship.

At Ruoff, she ran up and down the stairs, and performed choreographed dances with her band while delivering a great vocal performance, the veteran performer knew how to get all her fans dancing.
Ending her set with a stirring rendition of “Rock This Country”, she came back out for a three-song encore including her smash hit “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!”

Selling over 100 million records makes Twain one of the best-selling music artists of all time and the best-selling female artist in country music history.
