Tiffany was BEAUTIFUL and hilarious. I was so excited to see her live. There was a very inebriated heckler that had to be escorted out. 🫣
The Young Fables concert was fabulous! The Bijou Theater was a perfect venue - beautiful, great acoustics, small enough to feel intimate. The Young Fables brought their musical expertise in vocals and guitar to a new level of greatness. Their songs relate to a universal audience and the new song they sang and played was fantastic. They are a must see duo!
You're never going to beat American Aquarium. BJ is the most earnest front man in the world and has time for every single fan. The VIP is well worth it. Greatest rock n roll band in the world!
I was in the upper balcony and couldn't hear the comic. He would say stuff and mutter on occasion. People would laff but I just had a case of fomo and decided to leave
Seeing Iris in person was a bucket list item for me. One of the few I've managed to complete. A very important one. The performance was spectacular even though the songs I most wanted to hear didn't show up until the encore. Her musings between songs were very special and gave insight to her songwriting process. To resolve feelings that were disturbing to her first; then share with others in an effort to assist them in resolving similar feelings in their own life journey. At least that was my understanding. But I think I'll just let the mystery be. 🥰
Wow..................Eric Johnson was ON tonight. I've had the pleasure of seeing Eric many times. For whatever reason, he was SO SPOT ON for this show. He played aggressively and was almost perfect. Playing 2 sets with a brief intermission was a good call as well.
I do believe, however, the 3 piece band could benefit having a keyboard player/back-up guitarist.
If this happens to be the last time I see EJ..........it will be very satisfying!
As a native Austinite, I had always wanted to see Black Joe Lewis live as he is from Austin as well. I never had the opportunity to see him until now, when I moved to Knoxville! I'm so glad he came through though. He's even more talented than I remember, and his guitar chops are beyond compare. I loved how much the crowd was getting into it as well. He definitely brought it. The energy was amazing, and I had such a great time. The theater itself has such a good energy, and has perfectly preserved its history. It's like a much smaller version of the Paramount Theater in Austin. I only have a couple of complaints about the venue itself. The beverage selection was lacking - only beer and wine. There was not a single White Claw or other spiked seltzer or even a cider. I can't drink winer without it burning my stomach, and I'm pretty gluten-sensitive, so beer would not have been my first choice. The beer selection was really random as well - not the most popular beers from which to choose. Also, I didn't like how the merch tables were set up. I was on the first floor, and the tables were on the second, but only during the show!!! Normally, I am able to walk out in the lobby after leaving the show and purchase a T-shirt or album, but not in this case. This was pretty disappointing as I would have liked to have bought both. This had to be frustrating to the bands as well since they could have made some extra money. I really felt rushed out at the end of the show, which is an experience I have never had in any other larger city. I will attend future shows @ the Bijou, but I sure hope they will reconsider both their alcohol selection and where they set up the merch tables.
Ruston is an amazing songwriter - many of his songs haunting with a glimmer of hope. His voice & guitar (& harmonica!) skills were on fire - I like his band but enjoyed the rawness of an acoustic show. Nice rapport with the audience too. Even though the venue was not completely filled, he didn't let that bother him. (One day it will be sold-out).
My favorite part of the evening was when his father sang with him. What a killer voice that man has! I could have listened to them all night. Ruston might consider having his father featured as lead on one of his song tracks (unless he has & I've missed it somehow).
The concert last night was outstanding. We traveled from Williamsburg Va. to see two of our favorite, Hayes Carll and The Band of Heathens!!! The Bijou rocked.
One of the best shows that I have ever attended. Alot of talent, and they did some covers that were great. Best of all, we got to meet Jakob Dylan after the show. Such a class act, and true musician. I so appreciate the time he too to just chat about the music.
Awesome!
Solomon was off the charts GREAT! Many people didn’t know much about him but were blown away by his kick-azz guitar licks and smooth soulful voice!!
I’ll be first in line anytime he is near Knoxville!!
Far greater than my highest expectations. The venue was historic and intimate with incredible acoustics.
Natalie and Bernie were astounding. The Holy Spirit annointing on their musical gifts and testimonies is endless
Thank you for bringing hope, joy, and encouragement to us all!
Great show. Woulda loved if it was just him. Have nothing against Hayes Carll but Brent is the man I went to see. Got to meet him after the show. Just a great night.
Mavis Staples was exciting and spirit-filled! She and her band were wonderful . She had us moving in the theatre. I left with a smile on my face.
When I was a little kid, I never missed Flatt & Scruggs Grand old Opry show on Saturday afternoons. That was the only Bluegrass I had back then. To hear it come full circle and be done so brilliantly with a new frosting on the cake was cathartic. Incredible talent in the band. Shawn Camp is a true lead singer and can capture Lester but still retain his own style. And of course Jerry Douglas is the grand wizard Poobah of dobro. I told him last night after the show that he played like a Gatling gun. Bullets of pleasure.
Excellent! As always a great show! We didn't catch the name of the warm up comedian; but we really enjoyed his set too! We have seen Henry multiple times. And every time he is superb, from the old favorites that we never get tired of hearing, to new material and the interaction with the audience is always hilarious and well worth the three hour drive. And we laugh all the way home, remembering lines or subjects he addressed.😂😂😂
After last night, I am in awe of Mr. Shepherd. Best concert I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot over the last 30 years. And the rest of his band were phenomenal.
Such an amazing musician! Wonderful show. I proposed on this evening to my beautiful fiancé to his song 1200 days. Thank you Erick for your heart warming music!
great to here old tunes with a new group of two young jazz musicians james francies played the base parts with his electric piano and Nate Smith was fantastic Pat on the synth guitar was fabulous on Questions and answer
Reminded me of trio tour in 2000 with larr grenadier and Bill Stewart
Go see
This show was amazing. The emotion shared between the audience and the band throughout the night was beyond incredible. The stories shared were deeply felt. Tears and laughter were shared. Then when the album was premiered, we were enthralled with the videos and clips set to the music, enhancing the meanings of each song. An acoustic performance by Judah, Brian and Nate was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend seeing Judah & The Lion during the Pep Talks Tour.
