Mardi Gras and Frank Foster - My Favorite Time of Year

Frank Foster
King of Country Music Frank Foster
Hey everyone! How have you been? I know it's been forever since I've posted and I promise I will get better at posting more often. It's one of my New Year's resolutions for 2020. Have you set any resolutions for yourself? I've decided to focus on being happy and expanding my own blogs rather than focusing so much on writing for other people. Of course, spending more time with my kids and boyfriend is another resolution but who doesn't make that one for their families?

Big things are coming so y'all need to be sure and check in often. If you're not already, you should be following me on social media. I've got two more blogs in the works so y'all can get your fill of me for all types of topics - animals, motherhood, relationships, music. I've got it all.

It's slow going at the moment and I'm a random poster but that will be changing soon too. I'm about to blow it up!

Mardi Gras 2020

So I know you're not here to hear me ramble about resolutions. You're here to talk about our very serious addiction: music. And music is exactly what has inspired me to jump onto here and shout to the world how excited I am. It's my favorite time of year - Mardi Gras. And Frank's back!

As a music lover, Mardi Gras is a blast for me. You get to watch all the cool floats go by. You get to dance to music. You get to catch beads. And for those of you who like to party, it's the perfect time to par-tay. My children have been begging to go to a parade for the last few years so I think it's time to take them down to the Coast for a visit.

Come February 21st, we hope to be southbound in time to be screaming "Throw me something mister" at the parade Saturday morning in Biloxi. We're all pretty excited so fingers crossed that things go right so we can take a Mardi Gras vacation.


As much as I love Mardi Gras, it doesn't compare to how excited I am for March 20, 2020. My all-time favorite artist, Frank Foster, is coming back to Memphis and yours truly will be at the show, for the third year straight. Folks, if you enjoy country music, I cannot stress enough the urgency with which you should check out Frank.


As the new King of the South, Frank reminds fans of what country music is supposed to be about. You might not have heard of him because he's an independent artist who's found tons of success from his loyal followers. But you rarely hear his music on the radio. Why not? Because he paved his own way in the music industry by opening his own record label, Lone Chief Records.


He's been on the billboard charts and yet most people haven't heard of him. Like seriously, why the hell not? We're all Blue Collar Boys (and girls). I mean, I'm cool with things as they are because his shows are the best around because they're smaller. You get more interaction with him. And let me tell you folks, this man knows how to put on a show!

The band is freaking awesome and knows how to get your feet moving. Frank stays full of energy and interacts with the crowd. You're guaranteed to have a damn good time. I'm happy to say I'm one of Frank's Biggest Fans (yep, it's a song!). And let's not forget the rest of the fans of FF Nation. We come from all around and congregate together to share our love of the best country star in existence today. Even Hank Williams loves him. Just last year, I was at a Frank and Hank show in Tupelo, Mississippi.

So worth the drive! Everyone knows I'm a music junkie but I'm here today to admit that I'm also a hardcore Frank addict. There is no cure - not that I'm looking for one. I'm happy to travel to another state to get my fix a few times a year. Yeah, my problem is that bad y'all. I'm just a Good Ole Girl. Listen to his music. Come to a concert and see if you don't feel the same!.

Have I convinced you that you want to check out Mr. Frank Foster live? His tickets for the Memphis show are on sale now but you have to hurry if you want to get them before they sell out. And trust me when I say they are going super quick. This isn't a concert you want to miss, folks. Let me know if you're going to be there! I love meeting fans.

And as a word of advice, tickets were cheaper through this link than using StubHub or any other ticket agency. Frank's worth every penny you spend but you'll certainly want to save enough money to bring home some Frank fan wear. I've got a shirt and koozie from every concert I've been to. Even my kids love Frank! Here's their favorite song.

We're a Frank Family around here! My daughter likes to match her dad's support for Frank.

HMU in the comments and let me know what's your favorite Frank Foster song. Until next time, let the good times roll.
