Nashville country artist Margo Price brought her Wild At Heart Tour to the Crystal Bay Casino’s Crown Room, and for 90 minutes she and her band turned the casino concert space into a rockin Tennessee honkey tonk complete with dancing, back and forth interplay between musicians, and an overall feel good rock and roll vibe.
While Price spread her setlist out across her discography dating back to her popular Midwest Farmer’s Daughter album, her music leaned heavily toward her slightly more aggressive rock-tinged stylings of her newest Hard Headed Woman record. In short, Price showed up with a setlist mixing ballads and bangers, but the strengths of her set were the extended solos which took place mid song, giving her band the chance to really tease the energy out of each offering.
A stand up bass made the occasional appearance, in addition to kaleidoscopic visuals meltingly accompanying on the video screens surrounding the Crown Room’s stage. Price had also decorated the stage with an array of rose petals, glowing lunar orbs and mushrooms, while incense smoke rose from a stool set beside the drum kit.
“We’re gonna come out, we’re gonna play some blackjack tonight. We got some per diems…” she announced to the Crystal Bay Casino crowd before launching into a spirited cover of Gram Parsons’ “Ooh Las Vegas”. And if she went with a song selection that gave her a chance to show off her powerhouse vocal strength like “Hard Headed Woman” and “Since You Put Me Down”, she also chose a few covers that painted a mood across the room, like Trio’s “Making Plans”.
After a brief intermission which gave her tour guitar player, Logan Ledger, an opportunity to showcase a couple of his own songs, Margo Price returned for a few more songs which gave the audience a chance to dance across the Crown Room floor, before ending her set with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm” and as a final goodbye tossing out individual red roses which had decorated her stage to starry eyed audience members.
