Jana Kramer is used to having fans come from all over to meet her in Wilmington, NC while she is filming her role of Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill. Yet those fans may have to get used to going to Nashville to see her. Last Wednesday night at The Basement, the only standing room available was for Kramer's show. Some drove from Florida, others flew from New York. No distance kept the fans from coming to see Kramer make her plunge into country music.

On stage Kramer put her acting skills aside and was not playing anyone but herself as she opened to the audience a window into her world. Through her songs Kramer shared her life. It was as if everyone watching her was her best friend. There was no holding back and that is why people come from so far to see her.

With her songs such as “Save Me” and “Let's Just Be”, Kramer was vulnerable, allowing the fans to truly connect with her personal experiences.

Those experiences are what Kramer writes her songs on, which she delivers with emotional conviction pulling you into the web of her life. The relationship between her lyrics and melody is a perfect match and the fans agree. “I left her show humming the melody to one of her songs, then when I started singing the lyrics, it felt like Jana had taken the words right out of my mouth”, one fan said. “She put in a song what I had been feeling for a long time about the guy that I'm dating”. The song is “The Man You Could Have Been”.

Nashville native Amanda Remo sees Kramer as the perfect addition to her hometown's Country music grounds. “Jana's music is so inspiring and yet fun. I can see her songs being played on Country radio.”, says Remo.

There was no question Kramer left everyone at The Basement wanting to hear more of her songs before they even hit Country radio. Fans would not let her leave the stage without performing her fun, catchy, song written about her puppy, Sophie, appropriately titled, “Sophie Dog”. And at the fans request, she sang it for them before saying goodnight.

The 26-year-old Michigan native made sure to further show her appreciation to all those fans that drove and flew hours to see her during a meet and greet that was held immediately after her performance.

Jana Kramer's true passion for singing and songwriting could easily be seen during her performance. She shared her stories, found her voice, and clearly displayed on stage the joy that music brings to her. Fans who normally go to Wilmington to meet her are going to have to get used to Nashville because it is where Jana Kramer appears to be most at home.
