Luke Bryan Celebrates Great Year with Fans

Yesterday was Luke Bryan’s annual Nuthouse Fanclub Party at 12th and Porter in Nashville.  The tiny room was packed-full of Luke Bryan die-hards.  For two hours fans sang along, danced to, and gawked at our favorite Country Man.

Luke’s set was void of any setlist or plan…The request-only show was laid-back and a great way for Luke to let loose after his winning night at the CMT Awards.  Luke sang favorits, old and new, like; “Do I,” “All My Friends Say,” “We Road in Trucks,” “You Make Me Want To,” and “I’ll Stay Me.”  But the king of covers also threw in some of those as well with “Fishin in the Dark” and “Stuck on You.”

Each and every fan got to meet Luke at the party’s end.  As always, Luke was kind, sincere, and genuinely happy to share this small toke of appreciation with them.  After all, 2010 has been quite a year.
