Mark O'Connor Trio

My husband and I are so glad we went to this event. Mark O'Connor, and all of the musicians with him, were top notch. It was a pleasure to be able to hear such excellent musicianship, along with a dash of holiday cheer, in such a lovely, historical theater.

What can I say? Three hours of incredible, unforgettable music. This show was a dream come true.

The line up was very good I must say, every band contributed something special to the night that left us remembering something we wouldn't forget after leaving that place. That's what I like for to happen after a concert is over, is being able to taking something from that performance that will stick with that person for the rest of their lives, especially for musicians that are always searching for new ideas/inspirations.

This was one of the best shows I've ever had the privilge to attend. Just the sheer volume of musicianship displayed by all parties was off the charts. I've been privileged to attend a number of festivals and shows in my 58 yearsbut, this one ranks up there with the best. No matter how many superlatives I could use would be enough.

Starting the show with Kaukonen and Bromberg, wow! Each act after that was a thrill ride with the DePlie Brothers, Tommy Emmanuel, and Mark O'Connor and band especially fantastic!

it was a very interesting evening. i saw a lot of groups i never heard of. i hope mountain stage will come to morgantown more often.there were people from all age groups.you can't beat the price for live entertainment

This was an absolutlely awesome show. The quality of the music was second to none.

The talent that took the stage was by far the best group of musicians that I have seen in sometime. A good mix and a great time.

Mt Stage at the Lyle B. Clay Theatre in Morgantown,Sunday,January17,2010, was an out of this world experience. Great musicianship from Tommy Emanuel, the Dupue Brothers, and Mark O'Connor's Swing Band. Great venue to see these acts play live, and I can listen to the program on NPR radio in about two months. Check out Mt.Stage at their web site for some great entertainment.

There was a lot of energy and a lot of technical skill. There was not a lot of musicianship. The Depew brothers and the Australian guitar player were out and out pandering....technique and flash with no musical message. Yarma and Bromberg were very good. So was Oak and Sage. Vertiver was boring, but at least honest in his music. Macdonald (McConnell?)had great gypsy jazz guitar players, but the bass had no energy, the singer had great licks, but was too under control and stiff, as was McDonald. Poor concert overall. This was the worst attempt I've ever seen by Mountain Stage to wrap up with all playing together. The lack of musical taste really showed.

We went to hear David Bromberg and Mark O'Connor, but we loved the whole show. It was well worth the drive from Parsons; a lot of fun.

Great evening. Excellent sound. Well worth the drive! Mark O'Connor"s Hot Swing and Tommy Emmanuel were fantastic. Something to remember is Tommy's guitar has pickups and you can hear everything he is doing. O'Connor guitars with Frank Vignola and Julian Lage, were acoustic playing into a microphone! Rare to hear gypsy swing anywhere! Django would be proud!

truly amazing array of talent in a beautiful venue, loved every minute of it.

What a great show all the way through from beginning to the amazing finale'. I think It may have turned my 12 year old son into a 'bluesman' after Bromberg's tunes.. Mountainstage is an event everyone needs to see and hear.

This event was headed by Mark O'Conner and hot swing. They were fantastic and extremely talented! However, what I went to the event for was to hear the great Tommy Emmanuel. Mr. Emmanuel is one of the most gifted guitar players I know of. His command of his guitar and the stage was awe inspiring. A true entertainer! After the show Mr. Emmanuel was extremely gracious and at my parties request he came down off of the stage and met with us and posed for photo's. I have never met a more approachable talent than Mr. Emmanuel. Other musicians at the event were very good also. I was very impressed by a group of brothers that played the fiddle and had a guitar flatpicking champion in their band. However, I will never forget Tommy Emmanuel. This was truly and inspiring evening if you are a guitar player if not humbling at the same time!

Very good concert. Very energetic for the most part. Tommy Emmanual was incredible.
