Martina McBride's "Absolutely Perfect" Birthday

Martina McBride was working on her birthday this year, but she doesn't seem to mind. The country star turned 44 last Thursday, and that night performed before four-thousand fans at the Chateau Ste Michelle winery in Woodinville, Washington. Her concert included a surprise on-stage visit from her husband John, who along with the audience serenaded the singer with a rendition of "Happy Birthday." After the show the McBrides had a quiet celebration with Martina's band and crew, who gave her their traditional gift of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill wine. Martina says her birthday was "absolutely perfect." She notes, quote, "I began the day by hanging out with my family, celebrated at a beautiful winery with the best fans in the world and had a party with my band and crew. It doesn't get much better than this." McBride is on her "Shine All Night Tour." Her next show is coming up in New Cumberland, West Virginia on Friday.
