Before You "Kick the Bucket"

If you know me well, you know that I'm really into crossing things off of my bucket list. Why? Because YOLO (you only live once), and I believe you should enjoy every single moment. In fact, many country music artists have told us just the same. Tim McGraw sang about the truly amazing things that resulted from a man being forced to live like he was dying, and Lee Ann Womack's 2000 hit told us that when we get the choice to sit it out or dance, dance. There's also Travis Tritt's It's a Great Day to Be Alive, Don't Miss Your Life by Phil Vassar, Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney... and the list goes on.

While I have many different categories on my bucket list, the one I want to share with you today is my country concert bucket list (obviously!). Some of the crossed off shows I had been dying to see, and some of them just happened by chance, but I'm not complaining. Here's a peek:

A Thousand Horses           Alan Jackson Ashley Monroe Billy Currington Blake Shelton Brantley Gilbert Brett Eldredge Brothers Osborne Charlie Worsham Chase Rice Chris Young Cole Swindell Craig Morgan Darius Rucker Dierks Bentley Dixie Chicks Dolly Parton Dwight Yoakam

Dylan Scott Elvis Presley Eric Church FarmBorough Florida Georgia Line      Garth Brooks George Jones George Strait Gloriana Jake Owen Jana Kramer Jason Aldean Jerrod Niemann Jimmy Buffett Johnny Cash Josh Turner Justin Moore Kacey Musgraves

Keith Urban Kellie Pickler Kelsea Ballerini Kenny Chesney Kip Moore Lee Brice Little Big Town Luke Bryan Martina McBride Michael Ray Miranda Lambert         Native Run Old Dominion Phil Vassar  Randy Houser Randy Travis Rascal Flatts Reba McEntire

Sam Hunt Shania Twain Stagecoach Sturgill Simpson Sugarland The Band Perry The Lone Bellow Thomas Rhett Tim McGraw Trace Adkins Tyler Farr Vince Gill Zac Brown Band

Maybe I'm a bit of a concert addict? But I'm completely okay with that. I do realize some of those I haven't seen yet are a little unrealistic - given the fact that they are no longer around - but a girl can dream, right? And yes, I know there are a ton of amazing artists I missed, but my list is constantly growing (as it should be!).

Who's on YOUR country concert bucket list? (Share below!) And if you don't have one, now's the perfect time to get it going (especially with all of the shows coming to the NYC area this summer)! Josh Gracin says "it's never too late so do it while you can, cause tomorrow could go wrong" and he's right. So, raise your glass... here's to life!

She's dyin' to try something foolish

Do something crazy

Or just get away

Something for herself for a change

Is there life out there

So much she hasn't done
