Cadillac 3 frontman Jaren Johnston made no apologies when he and bandmates Kelby Ray and Neil Mason took the stage at Country Thunder Friday night.Β 

"We're a heavy metal country band," he shouted, and there was nothing wrong with that.Β 

From the reaction of the fans, topping 27,000, having a hard-rock band on the lineup added a little noise.

And Cadillac 3 is indeed loud as it blasted through some "Tennessee Mojo" and "Girls on Fire."

The band was on the lineup ahead of Cole Swindell, who opens for headliner Florida Georgia Line Friday night.
