Wynonna proved that she knew how to win over a crowd on her own Sunday night in Augusta.

The daughter half of the longtime country duo The Judds came to the fore in a bold way before 5,200 at the Augusta Civic Center. While her hourlong set was a little short on showmanship, she more than made up for that with musicianship.

Supported by a five-member band and three backup singers, Wynonna, dressed in a black sequined outfit, took the multi-leveled stage while belting out the sassy “What It Takes.”

Wynonna largely stayed with material from her platinum debut album “Wynonna,” playing only three Judds songs: “Mama, He’s Crazy,” “Flow On, River of Time” and “Why Not Me?”

There were two different sides to the 28-year-old singer on display at her Maine concert — reflective Wynonna and rockin’ Wynonna.

Her pensive side showed when she would sit on a stool under a spotlight, singing the ballads “All of That Love From Here,” “My Strongest Weakness” and “She is His Only Need.” That last song spurred dozens in the audience to pull out their lighters and hold them aloft during the song, her first solo No. 1 hit.

Wynonna also knew how to turn up the tempo, as she showed on the bluesy “Give a Little Love” and her encore and current hit “No One Else on Earth.”

Above all else, she showed she was a woman confident in her abilities and stature. During “Bad News Blues,” she pulled an elastic out of her guitarist’s hair, causing his shoulder-length hair to tumble free, then playfully tapped him on the butt with the head of her guitar. On “A Little Bit of Love,” she got two male audience members up on stage to dance with her.

With a little more showmanship on stage, a quality her mother, Naomi, never lacked, Wynonna could be a country-music star for many years.

Opening the evening was the six-member band Sawyer Brown. Frontman Mark Miller did his usual combinations of pelvic thrusts, spins, kicks, and hops, milking the shrieks from the audience.

Guitarist Duncan Cameron and keyboardist Gregg Hubbard were also frequently featured as the veteran band ripped through its hits, including “My Baby’s Gone,” “Betty’s Been Bad,” “The Dirt Road,” “The Walk,” “Some Girls Do” and their current hit “Cafe on the Corner.”
