I don't really know how one rates Mikhail Baryshnikov in a show about Vaslav Nijinsky directed by Robert Wilson. I don't think any of us are deserving to "rate" these legends. So I'll just say that the performance was very emotional, very introspected and very deep. Amazing music and lights. Baryshnikov is in crazy control of even the smallest movements, his interpretive dances are incredible. If you don't care about any of these people, it might not be something you'd be interested in.

Hey Mercedes puts on a great show, the whole show was a blast.

The Helio Sequence had their unique sound and style on full display Saturday night, although to a disappointingly only half-full crowd at the venue. Their music was bright and energetic, often very danceable, as many in audience noticed. For what they played, I really enjoyed it. But I doubt their set was more than 75 minutes total, tops. That was less than my 1-way drive time to come see them that night. I would've been happier with a longer set. But for what it was, it was still very good.

One of the best shows I have ever seen in a smaller venue. Played everything I wanted to hear, and some deep cuts I didn't expect. Musicianship was spot on. I was blown away, and can't wait to see them again.

I saw them at Knottfest last night. All they did was scream their lungs off and play their music at 114db to 121db most of the time. All that screaming and loud noise didn't make up for their lack of talent.

Great venue , Great music , Great people! nothing more to say... except HURT was mindblowing!

One of the best shows playing the Kerr. Hope they are booked for a return engagement.

This was the 4th time I have seen Jazzy Jeff do his show. This was by far the best one. He and Skillz rocked the house for 3+ hours. The crowd was engaged and going crazy.

Alexander Howard is an amazing performer and I would love love love to see him again!! The crowd packed into Merc Lounge (around 100 people) and had a great time. His songs are at http://alexanderhoward.bandcamp.com

Josh Ritter's acoustic show at the Fitzgerald was fantastic, as have been all his shows that I've seen. I remember the first time I saw him play--the 400 Bar in the early '00s, opening for Haley Bonar. He radiated joy. He still does, although with more trips around the sun, the light in his lantern, though no less bright, casts more flame of summer than sunniness of spring. He and Zack still seem like the guys you'd want to hang out with in any green room. (Zack played that night at the 400, a great looking viola bass that was not a Hofner.) And Josh Kaufman--holy blazes, Batman. That dude can play. And the opener, Gregory Alan Isakov, is a great new find for me. I love his song The Universe. Great job, guys! As before, thanks.
