Lakeview touch of Texas

Friday February 13th Lakeview took over the Touch of Texas In Binghamton, New York. The Touch of Texas is a nice little venue just off of 81 South in Binghamton. Located in the middle of the venue is a nice dance floor where they hold weekly line dancing lessons. For events they cover it with some seating for people to have a place to sit down and eat and of course people still can dance as well. I’ve been to a few shows now at Touch of Texas and they start every show the same way, thanking our military and first responders with Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA.

The first act was Junkyard Heights. A local southern rock band that’s opened for acts such as Brantley Gilbert and Martina McBride they now have added Lakeview to the list of their accomplishments. Blending in originals and covers making it just right to get the crowd engaged to start off the night. Covering huge hits such as Mississippi Queen, Whole Lotta Love and Sweet Home Alabama. While also playing their hits to in Rusty Truck and Bullet.

Lakeview. An independent country rock duo consisting of Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy. Originally based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so they were no stranger to the cold snowy night. Without having radio hits Lakeview has built a few strong die hard fan base all over the world. Their song home team is used by minor league sport teams all over the US including by the local Binghamton Black Bears. Lakeview has opened for large names such as Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Chase Mathews and upcoming this year will go on tour with Warren Zieders. The band was very interactive with the crowd even saying they didn’t want to sing but to sing it for them. A few fans were brought up on stage to shotgun with the band during their song Drink with My Friends. They played all their big songs like Sorry, Money Where Your Mouth Is, Son of A and their rendition of Hinder’s Lips of An Angel. Before closing the night with the mentioned Home Team. Overall it was a cold night in New York but that don’t stop the crowd at Touch Of Texas from having one hell of a night. Lakeview is a rising act if you haven’t seen them before I highly recommend catching a show they will not disappoint.
