Country music quintet Old Dominion rocked the Bryce Jordan Center Friday night with its lyrical blend of pop and country. 

The Nashville group entertained an energized crowd that filled most of the lower level of the arena with hits from its debut and sophomore albums — “Meat and Candy” and “Happy Endings” — as well as its latest single “Make it Sweet.” 

Canadian duo High Valley kicked off the show with songs from its 2018 collection “Farmhouse Sessions,” and closed its act with a rendition of the 2014 hit “Make You Mine.” 

They were followed by Texas native Granger Smith, who invigorated the audience with hits like “Back Road Song,” “Country Boy Song” and a cover of Tom Petty’s “Free Falling” while throwing in occasional screams of his signature “Yee Yee” catchphrase. Smith ended his crowd-pumping set by signing his own shirt, unhooking his single-strapped overalls and throwing the tank top into the crowd. Only at a country concert.

Old Dominion lead singer Matthew Ramsey and company took the stage with “Song for Another Time,” a 2015 single from “Meat and Candy.”

“What have we walked into?” asked Ramsey as he high-fived stage-side crowd goers. “Are you ready to do this with us?”

The group then fired off “Beer Can in a Truck Bed,” “Not Everything’s About You,” and “Be With Me.”

“Man, this place is big,” Ramsey mused as he scanned the arena. 

A hit-laden sequence that included “Written in the Sand,” “Said Nobody,” and summer hit “Hotel Key” followed.

The group shifted to the end of the forestage and was surrounded by a display of orange-glowing lights that invoked a back porch and campfires. Ramsey spoke about the band’s beginnings in Nashville as an upstart group without a following.

“Nobody was listening, and finally we got some people to listen,” he said.

In this more intimate and acoustic environment they played two older tracks — “Still Writing Songs About You” and “Stars in the City.”

“This song’s about togetherness,” Ramsey said as the band returned to the main stage and, in front of a bright green display dotted with spinning, daisy-like shapes, launched into “No Such Thing as a Broken Heart” and “Crazy Beautiful Sexy.”

Old Dominion’s latest single “Make it Sweet” followed, and Ramsey noted that the group would soon release its anticipated third album.

It smoothly transitioned into “Can’t Get You,” which featured an intense solo from lead guitarist Brad Tursi, who featured on vocals during Kenny Chesney’s “Save it for a Rainy Day,” a song the band wrote.

“You have those shows that feel like you made it,” Ramsey said in between tracks. “This is one for sure.” 

A group of fans screamed a request for “Shoe Shopping,” and the band obliged. They then performed “Break Up with Him” before leaving the stage temporarily, returning with a mellow rendition of “So You Go.” 

The group finished with an energetic performance of “Snapback,” gave a massive final drumroll, and jogged off stage.
