Where did time go? Christmas 2016 is right around the corner. No, really, it is. We’re talking 3 days now. While Santa may have already checked his list, not once, but twice- have you finished your shopping for your family and friends? If you haven’t, we have provided our list of the 10 gifts to get the country music fan in your life. Disclaimer: some of these may be difficult to get in the next 3 days but you never know what kinda Christmas miracles can happen! Check out our list below.
10.) A good pair of boots.
It’s winter! Depending on where you live- it’s most likely cold. But even if you’re in a warmer part of the country, everyone could use a good pair of cowboy boots for a night on the town!
9.) Alcohol.
The subject of so many country songs. And with it being cold here in New England, some booze can help warm up those 21+. Maybe Kenny Chesney’s Blue Chair Bay Rum will put you in the island mindframe. Or Florida Georgia Line’s new Old Camp Whiskey can help fight the cold weather.
8.) Player by Keith Urban guitar set.
Keith is one of the best in the business when it comes to pure shredding. And who better to learn from than Keith? These sets not only provide a really good quality guitar that has KU’s stamp of approval but also a 30-disc set of 30 guitar lessons led by Keith himself. You can choose from either acoustic or electric. Get the acoustic package here or the electric package here.
7.) Ticketmaster gift cards.
Help that concert junkie in your life with their concert budget by getting them a Ticketmaster gift card. Available at many major retailers/box stores. Or you can even buy a Ticketmaster eGiftCard for a real last minute gift here.
6.) Tickets to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
It’s one of the most highly anticipated shows of 2017. Two superstars in one show. And with four shows in New England, why miss out? Tickets for both the Mohegan Sun and TD Garden shows can be purchased below.
Mohegan Sun: May 5th or May 6th
TD Garden: July 7th or July 8th
5.) Tickets to see Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge and Brett Young.
It’s one of the best lineups we’ve seen coming through the area in late winter/early spring. And ticket sales supported that as tickets flew in presales. They will be in Manchester, NH on March 3rd and in Providence, RI on March 4th with some single seats still available in Rhode Island for face value.
4.) Brett Eldredge’s ‘Glow.’
It’s Christmas time! While the holiday songs have been on the radio for close to a month now, one of the best new Christmas albums is Brett Eldredge’s ‘Glow.’ Get your copy here.
3.) Garth Brooks ‘Ultimate Collection’ boxset.
We’re talking 10 discs of Garth Brooks. TEN. That’s 121 songs. And guess what!? It’s currently on sale for $25 at Target. Even better? Garth is donating $20 of every boxset sold now through Christmas to St. Jude! So not only do you get a massive collection of Garth Brooks music, you’ll also be helping raise money for sick children! Can’t get much better than that! Get yours here.
2.) Tortuga Music Festival passes.
We’ll be the first to admit that we’re a bit obsessed with Tortuga. Why? A.) We love country music. B.) Tortuga is 3 days of the biggest and best artists in country music and C.) It’s on the Fort Lauderdale beach. Slap on that sunblock, grab a cold beer, sit your butt in the sand and listen to an incredible lineup that will feature Kenny Chesney, Chris Stapleton, and Luke Bryan in 2017. Yes, please. Get your passes here.
1.) Tickets to see Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion at Gillette Stadium.
It’s the show of every summer. And we’re expecting it to be even bigger in 2017 since it’s the only stadium KC will play next summer. Plus there’s two incredible supporting acts in Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion! Over 106,000 tickets were scooped up in a matter of hours after going on sale but there are a limited number of tickets still available for each show.
Get your tickets for the Friday show here or the Saturday show here.
