"It's very energetic. A great band playing great music and people tend to get crazy at our shows for some reason. I don't know how that happens, but somewhere about three quarters of the way through, there's no telling what you're going to see."Currington takes the stage in Nashville tonight at the Wildhorse Saloon at 8:00 p.m., then heads up to Bowling Green, Ohio for a Saturday night show.  For full tour information, visit the Country Music singer's new MySpace page at www.myspace.com/billycurrington.
