I put stars next to who I was able to see. Some of them I only got see one or two songs performed by them. I'm not sure if thats the whole list..it seems short haha.

Anywho! I went on the cruise only knowing who Hanson and Sister Hazel were but came off the cruise LOVING every band that I heard. They did an AMAZING job of choosing the performers! Every day they had concerts 3 stages..sometimes 4 haha. It was fun trying to plan out which show you were going to see and for how long! Cowboy Mouth started off the entire cruise by playing an amazing set on the Lido Deck. The Lido deck show's seemed to be the most fun in my opinion. It's really hard for me to summarize the whole cruise. There was just so much going on! I guess I'll skip to the end. Sister Hazel put on a GREAT final concert! They invited up different bands to come on the stage and play with them. It was really a great end to the cruise. There is just so much that happened inbetween all that but I think there is too much to write in a blog haha!

Green River Ordinance and Wideawake are from my home state of TEXAS.
You should go look all the bands up on myspace and listen to their music! You will NOT be disappointed!

If you live in Waco, Dallas or Ft. Worth..or are willing to travel, You should check out the 3 CD listening Parties that Green River Ordinance is having on Jan 29th,30th and 31st! Details are on their Myspace
