Trent Summar & The New Row Mob rocked the 2007 ACL Music Festival, leaving a crowd of over five thousand fans dazed and confused by what they had witnessed.
David Sprague blogged this:
Describing his music as “Farm Rock”, Trent Summar could show some rock outfits a thing or two about performance energy as he kicked it up a notch or five during his set. The red-headed country boy from Tennessee likens his style to “that intersection where Chuck Berry rock and George Jones country converge.” He had his cowboy hat flying off, climbed the sides of the stage, slung mike stands around, spitting out some outrageously good country sounds while supported by his excellent band, The New Mob. Anyone who thinks country is slow or boring needs to check out his record Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.

Others enjoyed the show, too. In-the-field reporter Kate Iltis from Outside Magazine blogged this:
On to the festival we faced some pretty intense heat but it didn’t slow the crowds or stop the party. Trent Summar and the New Row Mob kicked it off and brought people out of the shade and onto their feet (including his drummer, Dave Kennedy View this photo) for an awesome show and a highlight of the day.
