A friend of mine had an extra ticket to CMA Fest this past Sunday night, so I went.
I watched Little Big Town, Thomas Rhett and Brett Eldridge.
All three big acts with number 1’s and tons of songs on the charts.
And all three acts played hits. All three acts have wildly successful careers in music. Lots of people love each of the three acts.
Little Big Town was first of the three….and I’ll just skip to the end of the story…
Little Big Town understand something that Thomas Rhett and Brett Eldridge do not (yet).
There is a comfortability, confidence, and relaxed intentionality they had in their blood that Thomas and Brett very clearly didn’t possess.
And I don’t mean to poo-poo on Thomas and Brett.
I do mean to say Little Big Town highlighted the fact that there are levels of the THING.
Just because you’re on the same stage doesn’t mean you’re on the same level.
But just because your at your level doesn’t mean you have to stay there.
p.s. What’s it going to take to move up? I have some ideas. Lets get together.
