Fan Review: Whitney Duncan- Fuddfest 2010 by Jen Erickson
Monday, August 30th, 2010


Whitney Duncan held a party for her fans at Buffalo Billiards during CMA Fest in Nashville. There was a large line of fans that have been waiting at the front door of the venue way before the doors were to open.
During the party, the fans were served with a variety of “Skinny Dippin’ Dots” ice cream and beverages. Whitney played an acoustic set of her fans favorite songs, such as “Little by Little”, “Kinda Crazy”, “Skinny Dippin”, “Right Road Now”, “Burn it Down”, “When I Said I Would”, and “So Sorry Mama”. In between songs Whitney answered any questions that fans asked, and even had a special guest, her dog, Duchess!
The fan party had a limited number of 150 guests. However, Whitney wanted all of her fans to be able attend, so we went over the guest limit a little. Due to Whitney’s huge appreciation this caused the event to go over the scheduled time by close to an hour because she wanted to sign, and get pictures made with every person that attended.
Here is what Ms Whitney had to say about her first fan party:
“I was amazed and excited to see how many fans came to my first fan club party! It was a blast and the very least I could do for the people that support my music and career. I hope everyone enjoyed the Dippin’ Dots! I didn’t even get any *laughs*, It really was an event I will always remember!”
On a side note, Whitney and the 4 girls, Jenna, Lisa, Alyssa, and Brittney (twitter- @whitduncanfans and fan website,

Whitney Duncan performed at typhoon saloon on Weds May 19.
Prior to the show she did a meet and greet with the other artists performing. Whitney stood around one table talking to her fans. I went up to talk to her. I had met her back in 2008 when she was doing her radio tour. I have been a fan of hers since I saw “When I said I Would.” When I had heard through eventful she would be coming to San Diego I was excited beyond belief and bought a VIP ticket the day they went on sale.
When I met her I had brought her 2007 CD to get autographed. I already had Right Road Now autographed. We had a conversation about it, and she said they were selling the new CD. I told her I bought it the day it came out. She thanked me for that. I said that I almost wore the shirt to try to get her to sign it. Her reply was she would have. Whitney was extremely personable. At the end of the conversation I told her she had beautiful eyes. I ran into a friend there and she had never heard of Whitney Duncan, but by the end she was a fan too.
During the show she played song from Right Road Now. She was the second person to sing each time. Patrick Davis was first, Whitney, John Eddie, and Jason Michael Carroll. She opened with Kinda Crazy, Then When I said I would. Then she told a story about Skinny Dippin’ and ended it with Little by little. There was a lot of joking around on stage.
She is one of the most beautiful women on the planet and after meeting her the first time I became a fan and after she wrote to me on her website I became a fan for life. She is an extremely talented lady. I forgot to ask about her bikini shoot and her heart surgery. It was a great performance from an extremely talented lady. I hope she comes to San Diego again soon.

Stephanie from San Diego
It all started a week ago when I won the tickets online at the radio station. Having to drive almost an
hour to pick them up blows the free ticket part of it of the water, but that was okay. After asking everyone
I knew to go, I ended up going with my father, but that is okay we go to a lot of shows with each other. I only
won normal tickets so I wanted to upgrade to the vip tickets. The site read “vip guest gets snacks and two
hour meet and greet with the artist” so I was like I have too. After some paper mix up
we got the vip tickets free no upgrade needed. So, I go down sitting in row two behind the stage (behind
some very….lets say happy JCM fans). so i sat there waiting…waiting…. no one came out. So much for that “two hour meet and greet” but about 45 mins
from 8 (when the show should start) they came out! JCM came right down to where I was sitting everyone flipping
out. I got up to take my picture with him, forgetting to bring anything to sign so he had to sign my ticket. He was
really nice and sweet saying hi to everyone. I got pretty much stuck down stairs over JMC being down there, but i was able to slip up stairs to where Whitney was. I was like “omg there she is” in my head. Not having to wait too long it was my turn! I never know what to say lol. I was just like “hi” and the normal jazz. She signed my wrist band and I asked if if she could call someone and she said sure. I called up @ashley018 to get ring ring ring.. hello answering machine! so she left her a little message. I said thank you for that, knowing that not everyone would do that but she did! After I met Whitney I walked back to my seat. Then I remembered I forgot to tell her about twitter so I went back to her and smiled saying “I had to say hi again, you answered me on twitter!” she was like “I did whats your name on there? most don’t have pictures of themselves”. I was like I am @tylerhiltonfans. she was like “oh! I am glad you made it!” she smiled and hugged me. She was so sweet, I took a picture for another fan and she had leave to get ready back stage so i sat back down. Not knowing who the song writers were, I didnt meet them. I wish I would have after that show! At 8pm the staff came out and there was raffle for guitar and posters signed by everyone [the show's money was going to Nashville redcross] I was crossing my fingers, but no luck, but the girl behind me won the guitar! then… waiting again. 8:30 pm came at last! Everyone came out all four of them [+jcm bandmates] and sat down. Patrick Davis and John Eddie were the two song writers after a bit of hearing his name and seeing his face I knew of who Pat was! He was a very nice guy and great singer. now Eddie…. was another story. He made the show very… lets say adult lol!
All his songs where about dirty jokes, dirty things, drinking and girls. It was really funny though, he made everyone laugh. Pat had a few songs of his own, or he sang with JMC, along with playing the guitar when Whitney was singing. They all took turns. Pat went then Whitney and John, JMC went last. It was nice and they told lots of jokes and stuff.
Whitney’s turn was up and she did great singing about four songs? I am so bad at remembering what they all sang, but I know I heard “When I said I Would”, she sang “Skinny Dippin” too. The boys were all like “she will do that at the hotel tonight”. She was like “NO! I checked the water… its too cold!” Then she said “we used to do this I dont know if my parents do but, ew that is sick!” [I got video of that!] in the middle of it all miss Whitney said a joke that i wont say here, but got video of it! JMC did really great singing few of his hit songs, then two “never heard of songs!” that were
great, they all did amazing! I loved it the show ended around 10:30. I was able to buy a hard copy of Whitney’s CD that was signed and got free picture!! Very amazing night! Big night of great music and jokes what a night!

The concert I am about to review is the Whitney Duncan performance at Toby Keith’s I love This Bar and Grill in Mesa, Arizona on Wednesday, January 27, 2010.
To start out, the concert as a whole was great. The songs were sung very well and the audience responded well. This performance took place in a smaller environment and I felt that the place had a sufficient amount of people for the space provided. It was by no means crowded, but it wasn’t empty either. Whitney sang the songs off of her EP Right Road Now and she also included a few covers; songs sung by Bonnie Raitt and John Mellencamp. Whitney also included a brand new song called “Judgment Day”.
Whitney Duncan has a great southern quality to her voice that allows her to sing just about anything really well. She started off the night with “So Sorry Mama” which grabbed the crowd’s attention right away. Then she sang “Little By Little” and “The Bed That You Made” along with a couple of songs she covered. When she sang “Skinny Dippin’” the crowd was really involved at this point and seemed to really enjoy the tune. She also added a new song “Judgment Day” which received a deservingly great response. She ended the show with her hit “When I Said I would” which the crowd loved. Some were even singing along at that point.
Overall, Whitney Duncan has a wonderful voice and showcased very well with songs of her along with a few cover songs thrown in here and there.
This is the review I wrote on Country Music Tattle Tale’s site. – Jenna
Whitney Duncan, stepped out onto the ”big stage” Friday, October 16th, 2009 as she debuted at the Grand Ole Opry.
Whitney was introduced to the Opry stage for her first time by John Conlee. She expressed what an honor it was to be able to perform there that night. Whitney’s first song of the night, as well as the first song for her to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry, was her latest single, “Skinny Dippin”, and she did her cute little “prance dance” right along with it. She then picked up her guitar and ended her set with an absolute flawless performance of “Little by Little”. Both “Skinny Dippin” and “Little by Little” will be on Whitney’s greatly anticipated album “Right Road Now”, which is expected to be released in early 2010.
Fans congratulated Whitney in many ways. They had an online “listening party” on twitter, while they were tuned in to www.wsmonline.com. Whitney’s fan twitter (@WhitDuncanFans) were also sending in updates live from the show. She was also given gifts that included some of her favorite sweets, even a gift card to one of her favorite places (Starbucks), a t-shirt that said “Professional Skinny Dipper”, a plaque as an award, and a scrapbook with e-mails of congratulations from fans around the United States (even some international), some pictures of Whitney with some of her fans, and from various performances were included in the book also. The following day Whitney tweeted (@whitneyduncan) “My fans helped make my Opry debut unforgettable!!! I love ya’ll & appreciate so much support!! ”
On October 15th, Whitney announced to her fans on her live video chat “Whit’s Wit”, that her single, “Skinny Dippin” has made it to #17 on Music Row’s chart! For more information about Whitney Duncan sign up for Whit’s World, free at www.whitneyduncan.com and follow her on twitter @whitneyduncan.
