Cousins? Kinda...

So my Aunt Ann is married to my Uncle John, John has a nephew on the other side of the family named Trent Willmon. So basically we share an uncle. We don't know if that makes us relatives at all, but we just call him our cousin, not blood related. Trent is a country singer, he has songs on the radio, videos, a southern accent....the whole country singer thing.
Trent was in Des Moines about 3 years ago and we had the pleasure of meeting him and hanging out with him and his band on their bus! Yeah, we thought we were pretty cool. So we were thrilled when we heard he was coming back to Iowa! Saturday night my parents, sisters and two of our girlfriends Andrea and Lynn drove to Runnells to see him play (Steve and Presley stayed at home). Again, we were lucky enough to go 'backstage' (which was just a tent next to the stage but whatever).
Trent was also playing with another country singer Mark Wills. He also has some great songs on the radio and he is freaking funny! Very laid back and sarcastic, then he gets up on stage and sings such sappy songs for being such a smart ass!

Here is Holly and Mark before he went on stage.

Here's Trent singing Beer Man! Yeehaw!

Here are the 3 of the singers together... Trent Willmon, Mark Wills and Jeff Bates. It was a good small town show! We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed hanging out with the guys!
