Jackson Dean performs at Stars & Guitars 2022.
Today’s Kick Butt Tip of the Day comes from Country music singer Jackson Dean, “conquer your fears.”
We at the BIG 957 KML are really fortunate to be able to do so many cool things with you throughout the calendar year. One of the major highlights is our annual Stars and Guitars show in November. The show always sells out due to the awesome lineup of artists.
In 2022, we were lucky to have Country newcomer Jackson Dean onstage at Stars & Guitars. In addition to Jackson, you may remember Russell Dickerson, Parker McCollum, Lauren Alaina, Michael Ray and Joe Nichols.
Recently, Jackson sat down with AmericanSongwriter.com. During his interview, he said “that you have to conquer your fears in order to be a success. You can’t constantly be afraid of things, be afraid of failure and succeed. A little fear is all right. It keeps you sharp. But if you’re afraid of everything, then you’re not gonna grow or conquer anything. Let go of your fear and reach for the stars.”
For many of us, we follow that paragraph with a question. Just how do we let go of our fears and open the door to the greatness that we possess inside?
A Roadmap To Conquering Your Fears
For help in conquering your fears, check out a short article on Psychology Today. Audrey Sherman Ph.D. shares her list of “The 7 Skills Necessary To Overcome Fear.” You can find the article by clicking here.

A few of my personal success quotes on overcoming fear are below:
-From self-improvement expert Dale Carnegie: “Do the thing you fear to do and keep doing it. That is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.”
-From survival expert Bear Grylls: “Being bravest isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.”
-From motivational speaker Les Brown: “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.”
Go get ’em tiger! God don’t make no junk. You, yes you are awesome! Now go be awesome!

The Full Setlist From Kane Brown's Raleigh Show
The city of Raleigh was pulsing with energy last Friday night, as Kane Brown brought his Up In The Air tour to the PNC Arena. In case you missed the absolutely electric show, don’t you worry. I have the full setlist right here for your Kane-venience! (See our full photo gallery HERE)
Highlights From The Show
Parmalee Performs
Before Kane took the stage as the show’s headliner, fans in the arena were treated to a rollicking opening set from North Carolina’s own Parmalee. The band enjoyed a warm and lively reception from their home state fans as they opened the show.
About halfway through their set, Parmalee performed their newest single, Gonna Love You, which front man Matt Thomas sang with just as much heartfelt emotion as he does in the studio version.
Tyler Hubbard Takes The Stage
After a fun opening act from the Carolina natives (including a surprise cover of Usher’s Yeah!), Parmalee closed out their set to make way for the 2nd opening act of the night: Tyler Hubbard.
The former FGL singer expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation to all those who made it out to the show. After giving thanks to everyone in attendance, he put on an electrifying performance which included some of his big hit singles since starting his solo run. This included bangers like 5 Foot 9 and Dancin’ In The Country. Tyler also provided those in attendance with a live performance of his brand new hit song, Park.
But Tyler knew it wasn’t just his solo stuff that fans came to see. “I know what you’re all thinking. ‘Is he gonna play some Florida Georgia Line?'” He joked to the audience, then immediately jumped in to the former country duo’s debut single, Cruise.
The “Kane” Event
Once Tyler closed out his part of the show, it was time for the headliner. I, along with the thousands of concert goers in the PNC arena, stared upward in awe as Kane Brown began his performance by descending from the ceiling, belting out the entirety of Bury Me In Georgia as the scaffolding lowered closer to the stage.
\Kane capitalized on the momentum from his audacious stunt, keeping the captivated audience in the palm of his hand throughout his show. After a couple of songs, Kane left the main stage and ascended a secondary stage placed in the middle of the ground level of the arena. It was there that he showed love to military members in the audience before singing a moving rendition of his song Homesick.
After the song, Kane took a moment to sign various items passed up to him from the crowd, the most outlandish of which being a prosthetic leg. Kane humorously noted afterward that “that was the coolest thing I’ve ever autographed.”
Kane fed off the Carolina crowd’s energy all night long and sent all of us home happy with his tried-and-true country bop, Like I Love Country Music.
Kane Brown’s Complete Setlist
Kane Brown, Tyler Hubbard, and Parmalee were a perfect combination for the Raleigh show. All three acts made the night absolutely unforgettable for their loyal fans, including myself and my nephew whom I brought with me to enjoy the show. I think I speak for the entire Tar Heel State when I say all of them are welcome back to PNC anytime.
