Many of the audience were obvious fans of Amanda and were singing along with all the songs. As a matter of fact she pulled one such fan up on stage to sing along on her cover of Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking.”
Shires’ fiddle playing was featured throughout the night but there were a few songs where it was just her and her microphone.
She took the time to explain that she never knows what to do with her hands when she isn’t playing fiddle or guitar, so her Highwomen bandmates gave her some pointers. Hard to describe in writing but fun to watch her demonstrate.
Her husband, Jason Isbell, found this so funny that he added one in for her, he called it the “towel twirl” or the “throw your shirt in the crowd,” where you walk around the stage twirling your hand above your head like you’re twirling a towel.
Amanda and her band really enjoy being on stage and it shows! If you haven’t seen her live I highly recommend you do! Find more tour dates and information here: https://amandashiresmusic.com
