Trisha Yearwood was amazing. as always! She sounded fabulous and looked beautiful. The Troubadour, not so good. We stood outside until 7:30 and then stood inside from 8:30 until almost 10 pm. There was nowhere to move, and the people were wall to wall, crammed in there like sardines. At one point, I had to move and walk and I almost didn't make it to the back of the bar area. The only seating is upstairs and that was saved for Trisha's guests. I would see Trisha anytime, anywhere. But the Troubadour is not an option for me anymore.
To be able to enjoy an hour and a half of Pure Pop for Now People at an intimate venue such as the Troubadour performed by a living legend was a rare occasion. Nick Lowe, with backing band Los Straitjackets tore through a set list encompassing Lowe's almost 50 year career. All of Lowe's eras were showcased: power pop, jangly countrybilly, jazz tinged countrypolitan and his return to rock with the Straitjackets, who performed a surf guitar instrumental set, before Lowe returned for the second half of his set. This was the second show of a two night stand at the Troubadour as Lowe and Los tour the US in support of their recent release Indoor Safari.
Missio delivered a powerful and engaging performance at the legendary Troubadour on February 13th, leaving fans thrilled and satisfied. While the show wasn't a complete sell-out, the energy in the room was palpable, fueled by a dedicated crowd that knew every word. From the opening notes of "Wolves," it was clear that Missio's live show takes their studio recordings to a whole new level. The band's ability to improvise and jam, adding extended drum solos by the talented Joey Castro and showcasing Scott Graham's unique use of a bow on his guitar, created moments of pure musical magic.
The setlist was a well-balanced mix of older favorites and newer tracks, with "Aztec Death Whistle" and "Villain" being particular highlights. These songs, along with the rest of the set, resonated deeply with the enthusiastic audience. The intimate setting of the Troubadour amplified the connection between the band and their fans, creating an atmosphere of shared excitement and joy. It was clear that many in attendance were die-hard Missio fans, singing along and fully immersed in the experience.
One of the most heartwarming moments of the night was seeing a young fan at the front of the stage, experiencing his first concert. Missio's frontman, Matthew, took the time to interact with him, making the night even more special. This small gesture spoke volumes about the band's appreciation for their fans.
Missio's live performance exceeded expectations. The band's stage presence was captivating, and their musical talent was undeniable. From the electrifying energy to the memorable musical moments, this show was a testament to Missio's ability to connect with their audience on a deep level. If you're a fan of their music, seeing them live is an absolute must. You won't be disappointed.
Hamish was freaking awesome, as were all of his supporting players. I also got a chance to meet him after the show, and he's a super nice guy. I must say it was a bit irritated because I think Grace Bowers had to spend more time doing her hair because his hair was so fantastic. 🤣
No, seriously, his hair is almost as good as his guitar playing. And this guitar playing is fabulous.
it was great .. after foot surgery i was afraid I would be standing for hours... luckily i found seating that allowed me to see the whole show unimpeded . West Hollywood and the Troubadour is not an ideal venue. Being a sound engineer the opening acts had terrible mixes but Nico Vega's over all sound was fantastic and allowed me to remove my ear protection. Been a fan for a long time.
Abby was fire at the Troubadour. She sang her new songs and songs going back several years. She was high energy and very interactive with the crowd. She reproduces her sound very well live, and she has a distinctive voice. My only disappointment was she didn't sing "Not in the picture anymore," but she told me after the show she has not recorded that song, and that's why she doesn't have it on the play list. Yes, she stayed after the show for hours to meet everyone hat came to see her! Next level effort by an artist. I would absolutely see her again. I loved the smaller venue, but for her development, I hope next time is in a bigger venue... she deserves it!
The best show I could ever attend to! My plan to get a chance to meet was to see her perform and get picture with her and tell how much I love her. It worked and people said it wouldn’t because I executed it perfectly meaning that I proved them wrong that I could get my chance with her! McKenna is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I’ll never forget that moment I finally met her!
Wonderful end of tour show for this amazing band. One just cannot help but feel uplifted and carefree by their lyrics and music even when the subject matter isn’t. Their earlier albums gave the carefree feel through the use of casual language painting a vacation vibe with dance worthy music accompaniments. The latest album takes the listener on a journey that can be clearly imagined through the evocative lyrics while the music, as with their previous records, spans a range of influences and styles that never fails to keep the listener engaged. A mega talented group.
This was easily one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended, second only to the Renaissance and Age of Pleasure world tours. To those unfamiliar with them, the Boyd siblings may initially seem inaccessible to, but those in the know understand that each member is a uniquely talented powerhouse. And when they come together, the result is greater than the sum of their parts, and we are all the better for it.
I was taken aback by their stage presence and crowd interactions, which created an atmosphere that was simultaneously intimate and larger than life. While it’s been nice having Infinity Song in my pocket as one of the best indie bands you’ve never heard of, if they can continue to replicate the magic we experienced last night, the whole world will know their names.
We saw Livingston last night at the troubadour. What an experience. Old Hollywood memories. The security and staff were friendly and helpful. Livingston himself brought the house down. He is very mature and answered questions at the meet and greet. He is friendly, open and charming. His show was amazing. Definitely my highlight of the year so far. Super talented, I am excited about following his career.
Jon is an incredibly talented piano player and wonderful singer/song writer. He plays his own music and on one lucky day in May, 2024, while at the Troubadour, he shared a great story about meeting Elton John and then played Tiny Dancer as a tribute to Elton.
I have now seen Jon in concert 4 times and look forward to seeing him again.
What a great show ! It was interesting people were really mesmerized by the band . People did
Not want to leave when it was over. The were still
Soaking up the vibes . Great rhythm section, double lead guitars, and great vocals from Jesse Sykes. Great dynamics. Go on you tube and watch the live version of “ Tall Grass” from the Troubador show. Really cool .
By far one of the BEST concerts ever! Both of the opening acts were amazing and Hibou was fantastic! It was great to finally get to see him live and was not disappointed at all!!! This venue has always been an amazing place to see concerts - it's so small it feels so personal and close to the artists. Best show!!!
A friend of mine and I flew into LA for the first of three shows that GS were performing. I wish we had stayed for the other two nights! The Troubadour is a great venue to see a show. The bartenders and security were really cool. The cost for drinks was reasonable and the venue is small so not a bad spot to see the show. First set was at an hour ling while the second set was much longer than that. The fellas sounded really really good that night with the first set sounding a tad more country while the second set was more rock-n-roll. I wish I had my wife with me to dance with as it was hard not to move around to the smooth sounds the fellas played for us. No poster for the event but there were some Cassettes for sale along with t-shirts. I Dig this show and look forward to them touring the southwest in 2023.
My first show in an intimate venue like this. I became a fan of Charlie Hickey after seeing him open for Phoebe Bridgers at the Greek Theatre in LA, and it feels so special going to one of his first headliners. Love his new album and can’t wait to see how he grows as an artist and performer! Great sound, great band, great vibes.
for one night and only night only. this show was the best concert i have been to, the energy between greta and the crowd was amazing and vice versa everyone was so happy to be there and considering they haven’t done a small venue like this one in a long while, you could tell everyone was so grateful to be there. best show. best group of people. best band.
1st time here. Nice lil bar with a showroom, upstairs & downstairs bar. They have amazing sound. Iyla was amazing! I got VIP for only $50, met her, talked to her, took pictures. She's going to be big. Her opening act, Yasi, was good too, never heard of her before, but now am going to check her out. Just wished Iyla's set was longer.
She without any doubt puts on the best show! Amazing voice and guitar style! She is very down to earth and great with her fans. I go to shows and concerts all the time, I have been for years and Samantha last nite was the best by far! She blew me away! I will catch her show when ever she in town, Love you Samantha!
AWESOME! I stood at the balcony looking down on the band. Gins mother was in the bleachers right next to me. My wife got her picture taken with Gin. This is a year later I’m writing this and my wife is still on cloud nine. It was such a good show. I can’t wait to see her again.
We had a great time ar this show... although I made a bad call on the upstairs seating... José's push and play on Bill Withers legendary tunes made the whole evening even more fun... and we were ready!
Nate Smith is ALWAYS a triple threat and the entire touring band was FAR beyond par!
This would be my third or fourth time seeing José James live and he NEVER disappoints!
