Adam Harvey show @ Kedron Wavell

Yesterday afternoon I went to Kedron Wavell to see Australian country singer Adam Harvey which was the first time I have seen him live ever. I caught the bus from Coorparoo to the city, then caught the bus to Chermisde, went to Dymocks where I bought an book called I Hear Motion about the 80's music scene and walk to Kedron Wavell. Went to the Kitchen, rang Dad, ordered my meal, bought Coke With No Sugar and use my mobile. Had Fettucini Alfred for lunch, drank Coke with No Sugar, ate Choc Berry Garden, had a another Coke With No Sugar, waited, went to the Blue Pacific Room and Had a look at book. The show started @ 3.01pm with support singer-songwriter from the Gold Coast Chloe Styler coming on stage with Adam Harvey introducing her and did an FANTASTIC set of her own songs as well as her version of the Fleetwood Mac song Dream which she got everyone to sing along to the song as well as telling stories about some of the songs as it was my second time seeing her live as I saw her at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Saturday March 23rd as she was the support act for legendary American soul singer Gladys Knight. There was an interval where she was selling merch which I bought an CD which she signed it and got an selfie , bought chips and Coke With No Sugar, ate chips, drank Coke With No Sugar. Adam Harvey came on stage at about 4pm and for the hour and 9 minutes performed songs from his past albums as well as tracks from his latest album Let The Song Take You Home including Remember Me which was about his mother who has dementia as well as covers of country songs by Kenny Rogers, Roger Miller and Glen Campbell as well as telling stories about his life which were very entertaining and also doing It Ain't Me Babe which Chloe Styler came on stage to do it which sounded great. The show ended at 5.09pm which went out to merch stand which there were 2 lines one to meet Adam and the others to buy CD's or coolers and Adam came out which I was the first line and got the latetst CD signed as well as getting an photo with him, walk to the bus stop, caught bus to the city, bought myself an coke with sugar, drank it and caught bus to Carindale. Went to the Carindale Hotel where I had Steak, Chips and Salad for dinner, rang Dad, went outside, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time and Adam Harvey put on an FANTASTIC show which he sounded great as well as very entertaining and getting everyone going as well as having an great sense of humour and also having an great back up including Gabby on violin who also worked at the merch stand after the show.
