About a week ago, I won two free admission passes to see Josh Kelley live. At the time, I knew of his hit single, but didn’t really know a lot about him. So I started looking stuff up and researching it a little bit and listening to his music. As the week progressed, I became even more excited. My friend Megan was able to join me at the concert.

This is the first time that he has played his new album tracks live, so we were able to get a sneak peek at all his new stuff. Let me just say, it sounds awesome! His new CD, Almost Honest, is coming out mid-August and I’m excited for it.

So you may ask what the whole concert thing was. Well, it was something called a B Lounge put on by B 95.1 and was hosted in Port Hueneme, CA. OceanView Pavilion helped host the show and it was simply amazing. There were about 25 or so of us there that had won these passes to go see him. So we showed up and hung out for a bit, around 6:30pm tonight. Around 7:00ish, we started to go in and grabbed a bite to eat.

After a bit, they started the show. He played a few songs and then started talking a bit. A few questions were asked.

Do you have any pre-show things that you like to do?

Josh Kelley: No..not really. I guess the only thing I like to do is to pump up my adrenaline and get my blood flowin’ or something…like doing push ups or something like that. Also stuff that I obviously can’t release..cuz that’s just band stuff, ya know…

He played a couple more new songs and an old song. He hopped on the piano too for a little bit.

He stopped…and went back for another song on the guitar. He went for a couple more questions after.

Are you scared of dentists?

Josh Kelley: Nawww not at all. But yeah, you said you’re a dentist office worker? Yeah, I started having this bad tooth ache .. it was like last night….you’re off duty right? You think you could help me this or something? Haha…well one of the things that does scare me is when I’m dreaming and I’m falling. Falling..just falling, yeah, that scares me

He stopped and then we went go sign some stuff and take pictures with him.

The time was truly amazing. Just a few of us and were able to just hang out with him and have fun. It was good to hear some of his new stuff and get to meet him and hang. It was awesome! Thanks B 95.1!

Follow up…

While at the concert, he spoke specifically about one of his songs and explained it. He explained his song Only You, the hit single that he’s pushing out right now. The song starts to describe his experience while touring in Australia. He was at a bar and he was hanging out with some girls and they were wearing, really next to nothing. He continued on to talk about in the song that “you started it, don’t you dare act surprised. You know what is on my mind”. He says this because the girls know what is on his mind when they’re wearing it. He talks about the ‘game’. The women know the game, “they’re wearing it”, as he says in his song. It’s partially a shame to know that women (some, don’t ever get the impression I am saying this about all women) can sometimes play innocent and then expect us guys not to react to what they wear.
