He shared the stage with such country artists as Lonestar, Jamey Johnson and Joe Nichols.
Hodges opened his set with “She’s Alive,” which is off his Locks on Doors album and it was followed by his breakthrough country radio single “Hunt You Down.”
The Texas native continued with “Goodbyes Made You Mine” and went on to cover The Killers’ “All These Things That I’ve Done.”
“Already High” was soothing, laid-back, and the quintessential country love ballad. “Gonna Need a Guitar” was an added treat.
Hodges closed his set with “Sleepy Little Town,” which he shared was written by Grammy winner Chris Stapleton, and his fun single “Ray Bans,” which was the fan-favorite song in his set, and he had the audience clapping along. His vocals were smooth and reminiscent of country stars Brantley Gilbert meets Kip Moore.
