3rd and Lindsley – 08/15/2008
Third and Lindsley got its ass kicked and smiled all the way through it.
Friday night, Vicky Carrico, Etta Britt, Jonell Mosser, and Shelia Lawrence, collectively known as Kentucky Thunder, brought their balls out performance to the 3rd and Lindsley stage with a backing band hot enough to handle them.
The individual resumes of these ladies boast performances and recordings with B.B. King, Vince Gill, Wynonna, Waylon Jennings, Trisha Yearwood, ZZ Top, Don McLean, Lorrie Morgan, and Kenny Rogers to name a few.
Kentucky Thunder was originally conceived in 1995 by Sheila Lawrence after she read an article detailing the work a couple of patients were doing for new kids admitted to the Children’s cancer unit at
During a show at 3rd and Lindsley, an impromptu Benefit took place after the story of the group’s origins was revealed. That night, an audience member placed his hat on the stage and through generous donations, netted about $2000 for the unit.
Harmony of heart and harmony of music forms a strong bond.
It is easy to see that the four ladies like one another, respect each other, and love working together. Even from the audience, one is able to sense that each is a fan of the other three. They gave their all through out the night’s performance and brought the audience into their circle, if only for a couple of hours.
The excited and eclectic audience was treated to two sets of awesome musicianship Friday night. Dancers danced, whooped, and hollered their appreciation for about 3 hours.
Man! I love my city’s live music scene.
Thank you, dear ladies for adopting my adopted home. I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
Peace,
Z

What an excellent summary of what sounds like an awesome concert! I'm so sorry I couldn't make it myself, but hearing you describe it, I almost feel that I was there. Rock on, my talented sister! :)
Love you!
