Country Star’s Pre-Show Rituals.
Have you ever wondered about country stars’ pre-show rituals? We all get nervous at times. Before an important meeting, job interview, etc. Now, imagine walking out in front of thousands of people a few times a week. Some of your favorites you hear on KICKS 99 tell us what their pre-show rituals are….and there seems to be a common theme they practice. It takes a lot to put on a big concert!
Dierks Bentley and Duck Tape
Dierks says he tapes his boots up with duck tape before each show because his favorite stage boots are a really old pair that requires this to keep them tight on his feet. True story.Also, he says he and his band say a prayer and thank God for their blessings and for the fans that come to his shows. He then has a special drink.

Years ago, Tim was a drinker, but now before a show, he has a good workout.Eric Church is a Jack Fan
Jack is always his go-to before he goes on stage.And, yes, we were both having a pre-show ritual here. HA!Garth Stays Busy

A quick couple of shots of Jack Daniels before he walks out to sing for us.Miranda and Wanda
Miranda says she’s really close with her band so they always hang out in Wanda, her Airstream, before the show. They also do a prayer before taking the stage.Luke Bryan and a Buzz
Luke always likes to have a drink…..or two before his shows to calm his nerves.Luke Combs and His Solo Cup
Do you know that cup Luke carries around all the time on stage? It’s a heavy Jack with Diet and no ice. Fun Fact from Luke: Ice cools your vocal cords and it gives you a higher chance of damaging your voice.
