DAVIE, Fla. —Colt Ford took some time away from the golf course on March 21st to put on an electrifying show at Cowboy’s Saloon in Davie, FL. It is no wonder that fans come flocking to watch this country music rapper, with his innovative sound that combines traditional country and contemporary hip hop undertones.

Ford took the stage around 9 p.m. following a set by up-and-coming artist Coy Taylor (pictured above). He opened with “Answer to No One” from his fourth album, Declaration of Independence, followed by some of his other hits “Cold Beer,” “Country Thang,” and “Chicken & Biscuits.” Of course the show wouldn’t be complete without the chart-topping single “Dirt Road Anthem,” which he co-wrote with Brantley Gilbert in 2011.

Among the most memorable moments of the show was when Ford traded places with lead drummer, Rick Brothers, halfway through the lineup. Brothers led the audience in a Twisted Sister’s classic—“We’re Not Gonna Take It”—while Ford played percussion in the background.

The band ended the set with a rendition of LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” in addition to Train’s “Drive By.” As an encore, they opted for two fan favorites, “No Trash in My Trailer” and “It’s All.”

Ford played the next day in Melbourne at the Runaway Country Space Coast Festival alongside Dierks Bentley, Sara Evans, The Lacs, Jill’s Cashbox, and The Samantha Russell Band. He’s scheduled for another appearance in Florida on April 10th at the Clay County Fairgrounds in Green Cove Springs after he visits a number of venues in Texas and Oklahoma.
