Hudson Westbrook shares insights on audience reactions during tours

Canada show. Yes. So we did three weeks with Bailey Zimmerman in Canada. That was crazy. I will say like the best market that I've played in like outside would be Australia. Like we played Australia and that was the best show I ever played in my life. Like, loudest crowd, loudest knew every single word. From like Deep cuts to, to the main songs that are being streamed, you know, they're, they're listening to everything. And that might be because country music never comes there, I think, I don't know. I think they get very excited that people are going to travel over to see them. So they, they are very prepared for when you come over. Yeah. That's super cool. It's weird. It's got to be weird though when people all the way around the world know your stuff. It is odd. Like I, I was standing in line at a Tim Hortons one morning in Canada and there's like 70 year old, which is not normal for my demographic. Usually it's like a 20 year old, 30 year old. And I mean we got everybody coming to the shows. But I was sitting there and she was like, are you Hudson Westbrook? And like it was my first day in Canada and I looked over at her and I was like, are you serious? I was like, you really know who I am or are you just messing with me? And she was like, no. Like really? And I think, yeah, it opened my eyes up a lot and it also made me think less inside the box. Like I can, I need to do whatever I want and I can reach whoever I want. You know, like at the end of the day, these are people coming from everywhere. They're not just coming from Stephenville, Texas, you know, small town. They're coming from Canada, they're coming from Australia. They're listening and they're like going and finding the music and also preparing for the concert. Like people were screaming the lyrics and at the Bailey shows still, I mean when we were opening and the were all showing up, how was, how was Bailey? He's great. Yeah? Yeah. Honestly, like as far as it, like being inclusive and including us on the whole tour, it was awesome. I would say it's change of pace for me. You know, I, I really stand at the mic and I play my guitar and I want to make it solely about what I'm doing. And he loves like putting on a show like that is his art. And so we got really close. I learned a lot of stage presence, how to work a crowd, how to get them hyped. And it's honestly just all confidence, like Whatever you do, just do it confident, you know, and make sure it's you. But it was good.
