Reina Del Cid

This was our first Caffe Lena experience and so excited for the next! We didn’t know what to expect going in, but we’re pleasantly surprised. The crowd was friendly, our table mates were excellent company. The beer was tasty, the music excellent.

I follow these talented artists on YouTube. They are even better live. I really enjoyed this concert very very much. This is real acoustic music, with great voices and beautiful guitar playing. The vintage concert hall in Machelen near Brussels suited the atmosphere of this performance. Come back to Belgium soon guys!

Perfect concert of four masterful musicians who despite a logistical nightmare on the day of the concert really delivered a flawless performance. The venue was great too. Crisp sound and cheap drinks

Great, good songs, I was surprised to see Reina Tony, and the other faforites. I follow her two or three years. I like her, Tony and the two men too.

We have enjoyed Reina’s YouTube channel very much. It was great to see her perform in person. The only negative to us was her vocals were overwhelmed by the instruments. We thought it would be acoustic like her YouTube channel and recordings.

Overall it was a great event. The performer opening for Reina Del Cid was not to my taste but I wasn't there to see her. Reina and her group did a great job at giving us a non stop wonderful time. The ONLY thing I could add, and it is a very small negative was with the venue and the fact that Reina beings in many "older people" who have a hard time standing through a whole concert. There were o chairs to sit in when we entered BUT several young men went out of their way to bring in a few rows of folding hairs (which was awesome). I guess I would say that if at all possible the venue or the act should communicate or ask if the audience is possibly made up of older folks so the chairs would already be set up and there would not be a scramble. BUT this is a very small thing in an overall fantastic evening. Oh, one other thing which I know is a polarizing issue. Reina Del Cid had to cancel several of their previous shows because a couple of them contracted Covid. My daughter and myself were the only people in that small area wearing masks. The band did not come out after the show for a meet and greet because of the Covid issue (which is totally understandable) and I guess I am throwing my two cents in that in small venues like Hideout we should respect the bands and the acts because this is their job and with that many people unmasked it puts a real concern for the band who cannot wear masks on stage. that they may lose concert dates and struggle with rescheduling not withstanding their health. I understand completely the "were done with this Covid crap" and the draining effect it has on us all but the science has not changed so we should respect these wonderful people who work so hard to make us happy.

Despite the venue Reina, Toni and group were great. Their concert, however, was hurt by a terrible venue. As a Cleveland resident, I was embarrassed they were hired to sing in such a dump like The Winchester. No chairs were set up when we arrived and we had to set them up when an employee finally opened a closet where they were stored. They and we deserved better. Staging too was very poor and hurt the group’s performance. Only one spotlight for the stage shining only on Reina. Toni played in the dark for most of the concert, as did their bass player. But worst of all was the sound man who was horrible, Sounded like he never saw a sound board before. He couldn’t balance the instruments with the voices, allowing the instruments to drown out the voices on several songs. And he couldn’t balance Reina’s lead voice with Toni’s harmony which often was not even audible. Too bad because Toni’s harmony part on songs performed on the podcast, Sunday Mornings with Reina, adds a really professional touch. All in all the venue hurt what otherwise would have been a great concert.

Have followed Reina Del Cid on YouTube for a long time now, and it was fantastic to see the band live! Great show with interesting touring tidbits, background stories on songs, and solid performances from all of the musicians. Nice set-within-a-set with Reina and Toni dueting 5 or 6 songs. Great interaction with the audience as well, with requests, an invitation for a photo on-stage, and a standing ovation request for an encore. Would definitely check out another show by Reina Del Cid!

This show and the next two were postponed due to a covid infection (hopefully next time around maybe the Josh and Allison can also join in). Don't mind paying more.

Reina del Cid is a wonderful band that originated on YouTube but has developed into an international attraction for live shows. The intimate nature of Cafe Istanbul was perfect for their Candy Apple Red tour. Great acoustics, lighting and an intimate setting was excellent in every respect. RDC's original music with a few covers was superb. Their music is excusite. Reina and Toni even spent some time with fans for photos and to say hi. The show was everything I hoped it would be!

My daughter and I went to the show and we both enjoyed RDC. The opening act was awful but the main performance was excellent as had been expected. True talent was on display.

Reina, Toni, Josh, and Carson were fabulous, as always. The only issue that prevents me from giving them a five-star review is the sound system at the Hotel Cafe - it didn't do them any favors. The mix was generally uneven on many of the songs, and the bass frequently overpowered the guitars and vocals. In fairness, it may have been partly due to where I was sitting: front row, stage right. I realize not every seat can have ideal audio in such a small venue. But back to the musicians: technically excellent and warmly soulful. For me, Josh and Carson's rendition of "Angelina" was worth the price of admission alone. I hope to see them back in L.A. soon!

Reina and Toni sound as good (if not better) live as they do in their Sunday Morning YouTube videos! The two covers they played (Jambalaya and Tennessee Waltz) were the first songs I had ever heard from them, and also the songs that hooked me and got me to do a deeper dive into Reina's catalog of songs. I was also able to grab the vinyl of "Rerun City" and Toni and Reina signed it - thanks Captain Kev! Reina and Toni stayed after to meet everyone. They are super down to earth!

If you are ever within 100 miles of Reina Del Cid show, do yourself a favor a get thee to the show! Tonight's show was just Reina (Rachel) and Toni, and believe me no other musicians or voices were necessary. Reina opened alone with a trademark ballad "Won't You Please Forget" and then Toni joined the festivities for a two-set whirlwind tour of fantastic originals (highlighted by the haunting "Hold Me Before I'm Gone Forever) and classic covers (including a gorgeous "Moon River"). Toni showed her chops all night on her Strat and Reina's voice alternately soared and whispered as only she can do. The show closed with a rollicking version of "Pretty Lies" and no one wanted to see it end. These women will soon be filling larger venues - just too much talent not to - so if you get a chance to see them in these more intimate settings, you better get while the getting is good. I've seen a lot of shows in 60 years ... Reina Del Cid is a must not miss for any music fan.

Great show! Seeing Reina, Toni and the bad live was amazing and surpassed any expectation I had from seeing them on YouTube. Can’t wait to see their next show, worth traveling hours for.

I had the best night. It was my first time at the Columbis City Theater, it was small and quaint and perfect. I somehow managed a seat in the second row left of center. Loved them. Became a new fan of the Other Favorites too. I want to go back tonight!

It. Was. PHENOMENAL. Toni and Reina compliment each other so well. Toni’s awesome guitar playings skills and Reina’s soft, soothing voice perfectly fits the scene - love the intimate venue and how engaged they kept the audience. The instrumentals and acoustics of this performance is a must see live. And when The Other Favorites came out - they know how to mesh well with Reina Del Cid’s.

Reina del Sid and crew put on a fantastic show. If you watch her on u tube multiple that by 100 and you can grasp the live performance. Go see her and crew for some great entertainment.

Fantastic show! Reina and Toni, you two are simply awesome - vocals, guitars, enthusiasm, the whole thing. Thanks for a great show. Hope to see you back this way again.

Loved the show! Reina can really sing and Toni can shred! Was really disappointed that the show was posted for 2 hours and only lasted 47 mins and 9 songs and at the price of 18 dollars....that's $2.60 per minute per person....wow. traveled all the way from Ely for this one because these ladies are so awesome. We also felt a little like dirtbags as we walked in with all the folks in their nice clothes like all on dates with their significant others...but we really dont care as we are all musicians as well. Probably would skip this venue in the future but nice job ladies always a treat!
