Billy Bob Thornton

This show had kind of a Beatles vibe, perhaps partly due to the retro-looking suits the band members were wearing, and partly due to George Martin producing some of their music. The music was good, albeit a little hard to put into a genre box. Certainly not country or alt-country, which is what I was hoping for. Certainly not a good pairing for Trace Adkins, which is forthcoming. More like 60s British invasion/surf pop, I'd guess. I liked it, but I may have been in the minority. I got the distinct impression that if a famous actor wasn't fronting this band, it wouldn't have much of an audience. Still, some of the songs were pretty groovy. I especially liked "I Got Glendale" and "Summertime In L.A. Again", but again, I may have been in the minority.

Great venue. Super music. The band, particularly Billy Bob. was really interactive with the crowd. He made us laugh and told great stories to introduce many of the songs.

This show was better than I expected. Billy Bob can really sing and the band rocks the house. The best part was Billy's intro's to the songs all of which they wrote, so all the songs had a story to go with them.

It's not country, it's not rock, its not jazz, but it's a great fusion of music. As long as your not expecting sling blade impressions, and you Like live music, you should enjoy.

Billy Bob s musical talents shine in his performance with his band The Boxmasters. Their unique style, sound, and creative lyrics (they write all their own songs) captivate you. You want to hear more songs and the colorful stories that accompany them recounted by Billy Bob. These guys are serious about their music and after hearing them you will be too. If you have an opportunity to attend one of their concert, don t miss it!

Stick to acting. Terrible music. Everything sounded the same\u2014- ai 110 decibels

Kinda boring all the songs sound the same should have played a few cover songs

Billy Bob Thornton and his band were amazing! All of their material was original, and Billy Bob was humorous during breaks in between songs. My husband and I totally enjoyed our experience.

2ND TIME SEEING THEM...1ST TIME DIDN'T WANT TO GO AS THOT HE MUST BE SOME KIND OF WEIRDO....STRANGE CHARACTERS IN FILMS! NO <<< AWESOME ! SCREENWRITER, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, ACTER, SONGWRITER, MUSICIAN, SINGER. THIS SHOW WAS NO DISAPPOINTMENT, THE BOXMASTER'S WERE GREAT AND WITH THE SMALL VENUE AT THE RED ROCK? AWESOME <<< LOOK FORWARD TO SHOW #3 ................

Second time I ve seen him. Music was great, got a few minutes to chat with him at the meet and greet.

Band was rocking and Billy Bob's narratives were great. The audience at the cannery was not the boxmasters target audience (much older crowd) so there was a miss match there. The audience finally got going once they played a song people recognized (Sylvia's mother) but that was at the very end. They should've opened with one pop song and mixed other popular favorites in with the original songs throughout the show. The harp playing was great at the end, would've loved to hear more of that throughout the show. Very entertaining.

My husband and I went to this event with another couple. The music was excellent! We were not sure how the music would be but we love Billy Bob! It was well worth it! We hope he comes back to Vegas again. Maybe play at Redrock Hotel and casino next time?

I didn't know what to expect, not hearing Billy Bob's music before. He's a great entertainer! His music was upbeat and he talked to the crowd. The time went by too quick!

I did not know about the boxmasters before going to show. It was a very good show. I would go again. It was also our first time at the Birchmere. The food was good and we would go again.

The Boxmasters, including Mr. Thornton, are really excellent songwriters and musicians. The songs are thoughtful, well crafted and are executed in top notch fashion. They played almost 100% original songs and most were new and the show did not suffer at all. Context is provided, including some funny stories. It's a fun show and you feel like the band really appreciates your presence and they are making an effort to ensure your enjoyment. The lead guitar player and keyboardist are standouts as superb musicians, but they all are incredible. Surprised Mr. Thornton didn't play drums at all like he did last tour. I'd see them again.

Billy Bob's band is a very tight unit-all accomplished musicians- the lead guitarist- Brad will knock your socks off with his fretting and picking skills... Billy Bob is very audience friendly and mostly tells audience about each song before singing it...his voice is smooth and he enunciates words well! although they didn't sing a single song I recognized... the music was a good mix of blues, rock and upbeat country sounds.. he gets a little politically 'preachy' in some songs..... they played for a solid two hours without a break! Go see them if you get a chance! he's much smaller/thinner than I expected....and he tells some funny stories....does not have a heavy Arkansas accent-where he grew up.....

Very much enjoyed the event- for both quality of venue and professionalism and talent of the artist.
