(Top Picture) Country music star Jo Dee Messina wows the crowd at Central Park Friday evening. Messina released her fifth album, “Me,” on her newly formed label Dreambound Records at the end of March and is out on tour to promote it. To raise money to make the album, she started a Kickstarter campaign. The campaign was the largest to come out of Nashville and the 15th largest Kickstarter has ever had. Messina has sold more than 5 million albums worldwide, garnered three No. 1 country albums, nine No. 1 country singles including “I’m Alright,” “Bring On The Rain” (a duet with Tim McGraw), “That’s The Way,” “Bye Bye” and “My Give A Damn’s Busted” and 16 Top 40 country singles. Opening act Justine Blazer Band started at 6:30 p.m. Friday, with Messina taking the stage at about 8 p.m.(Bottom photo) Bentley Schuh appears to have an unobstructed view of the stage while sitting on the shoulders of his grandma, Crystal Welsh.
