Let me tell you. My experience at Treaty Oak Revival was pretty unforgettable. The up-and-coming country band visited Uncasville on the second leg of their Bad State of Mind Tour. The band has made their way into the mainstream thanks to their high-energy and balls-to-the-walls demeanor. They have six songs that have all passed 100 million streams on Spotify, including “No Vacancy,” “Stop & Stare” and their biggest, “Missed Call.”

The crowd at the concert was very reminiscent of what you’d see at a Gavin Adcock or Zach Bryan show. A lot of college-aged kids in their stained jeans and Treaty Oak Revival trucker hats. When I walked into the venue, my ears were graced with one of my favorite songs playing over the loudspeaker: “One Last Breath” by Creed.

The song has seen a resurgence over the last couple of years, thanks in large part to the crowd mentioned above. As the song kicked into its chorus, everyone began singing at the top of their lungs, a great precursor for what the show was going to be like.

When the band finally came out, people got riled. Their lead singer, Sam Canty, got everyone going by jumping all around the stage and pouring his beer on the crowd. The band began with some songs off their two records, “No Vacancy” and “Have A Nice Day,” before pivoting into “Stay Tuned,” a single from 2022.

They also played “Happy Face” and “Bad State of Mind,” two songs off their upcoming, untitled album.

Easily my favorite part of the show was during “Boomtown,” as Canty told a story of where they originated before requesting a beer shower from the crowd. Before I could even turn my head, I felt drops of beer and water raining in from the top row, as the entire arena threw their drinks on the floor. It was one of the most electric atmospheres I’ve ever seen during a show, and all I could do was sit there and admire while I was being showered by beer. 

Canty then introduced the band during “No Vacancy,” which included an awesome guitar riff in the middle before singing the last chorus of the song.

I was also pleasantly surprised to hear “Haunted House,” a favorite of mine and one they rarely play in concert. That one, “Boomtown” and “Ode to Bourbon” were probably my three favorites from the show, as all of them had Canty and the crowd going.

Speaking of “Ode To Bourbon,” the band closed the show out with that song, before coming on for an encore to “See You In Court.” Canty preached a very powerful message about losing a loved one and going through a tough time, which I’m sure resonated with a lot of the crowd. He then made it clear that there is a path to positivity and dedicated the song to overcoming personal battles.

Overall, the band wasn’t on stage for too long, but they made their hour and a half count. They never stopped bringing the energy and always made sure everyone was having a good time. And I for sure did.
