Old Dominion's show at Starland Ballroom was the fastest selling country show ever at The Starland Ballroom in Sayerville New Jersey. Not bad for a band which has played 3 times in the area over the past year and a half.
This time around they have a new album to promote, so the setlist was changed quite a bit from last year when the played at the Stone Pony.
The played all but one song from their first album, a bulk of their new album, Family Values, and a couple songs which they have co-written for other artists.
Opening for Old Dominion is Australian singer Morgan Evans, who performed a solo set where he interspersed several cover songs into his own songs. His set included his own songs Kiss Somebody, Day Drunk and Everything Changes, while touching on such songs as the Blacked Eyed Peas I've Got a Feeling, Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, Andy Grammar's Shut Up and Dance With Me and Sam Hunt's Body Like a Back Road. He also did a sampling of 3 songs he grew up on, Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down, Keith Urban's I Want To Love Somebody and Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark.
Old Dominion made it clear that they were having a great time and that the Starland crowd was one of the best they had. They broke from the written setlist to see if the crowd would want to hear a specific song, They said they hear requests for Half Empty and Shoe Shopping and polled the crowd as to which they would play. They decided to play both.
Here's hoping the come back before they open for Kenny Chesney next August at Metlife Stadium.
Here is the setlist.
