Van Hunt

I didn't know what to expect since I he had not recorded anything in a long time. He was enjoyable.

I enjoyed the show at the birchmere in the dmv (va). i like the way Van Hunt carried himself. he is a real regular person. a working musician. he said that he was sick and he didn't know that he had to dress up or look fancy. I figure as long as you show up and perform well or do as best as you can, look presentable like wear pants, a shirt, and shoes thats good enough. we know that Van hunt is great. he makes good music. we accept him for who he is. i bought his debut album the first week it came out. Van Hunt is a great musician. he was apart of that neo-soul movement. he worked behind the scenes. his band was great too. also, it was nice to see a young black woman playing the drums. rarely do you see that. Van Hunt is always welcome to perform in the dmv.

I've been waiting to see Van Hunt in concert for years, and was glad I had the opportunity. The intimate venue was great and provided a perfect view for the show. I loved the way Hunt seemlessly transitioned between songs. He performed his classics and several new songs (from the new album, which at the time hadn't been released). He also created new versions of his popular songs breathing new life into them, which was a real treat. Vocally, his pitch and quality were perfect despite having a cold! I would recommend seeing one of his shows to anyone looking to see a true musician in his element.

So 1. the venue, is the best ever. 2. Loved the whole first come first served 3, The sound can be a little tweeked, but over all it was a wonderful experience.

The Van Hunt show started off with a bang and ended with a fizzle. Looks like he is headed in a different direction -- rock on Van. Too much of the new stuff (more rock and I don't mean soft rock) and too little of the good old stuff. I'll miss his ability to mix soul, sex and music -- I won't be buying the new stuff.

I loved loved loved the show! Van Hunt was so amazing and he wasn't even feeling well! My first time seeing him and definitely won't be the last!

Van Hunt is amazing! the show was awesome. there was a little rock and a lot of heart and soul. He drove to Alexandria and wound up getting sick, but sounded great anyway. I particularly enjoyed Down Here in Hell. You could hear the influences of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown mixed in with Jimi Hendrix and Sly & the Family Stone. Give some to the drummer - o' girl was hittin on the drums. For those who chose not to come out you blew it. Van Hunt is an excellent talent. Loved the show.

Van Hunt & all of the band members were on their game! We were extremely impressed & glad to come out for the show. No disappointment here except, instead of no standing, Birchmere needs a "it's too funky to not get up & dance" rule.

VanHunt was sick and still played and sung VERY Well! This was my first time seeing him live and it was worth the long wait! Van Hunt has a female drummer Ruthie Price and she is Awesome on those drums, had he not said her name ( due to my seat) I would've thought it was a man on the drums! She can hang in there with the male drummers. His soulful voice is sexy and his skill on the guitar is MINDBLOWING! I call him a Multiple Crossbreed of, Lenny Kravitz, Bootsy Collins, Jimmy Hendrix, James Brown, and Eric Benet!!! He had an opening act, they were cute; the piano player had a very soulful voice, but I wished he had no opening act, so that I could of have had more of VanHunt. I was very sad that he did not mingle with the fans!! I wanted to meet him, so I could tell him how much I appreciate his craft, skill, and ability!

It was a good show because of the artist, and even the opening act was pretty decent. Van Hunt takes r&b onto another path with a retro modern fit to it. He'll hit you with a little funk and a little rock. He rearranged his most popular hits though! Still a great show on a tuesday night sharing good music with others that appreciate his approach.

This was my first time at this venue and it was a very relaxing environment. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Also it was my first time seeing Van Hunt live. It created a very special event and would to experience them both together anytime!

Very interesting and talented artist not sure am fully on board with the new direction his music seems to be taking. However, he deserves respect for his command of the music. Would definitely like to see him again.

I've never been disappointed by a Van Hunt show. He puts his all into it, and his live performance is very close to the recordings, only maybe a bit more funky! Prefer seeing the full band in a standing room type venue, but the way they had the "Stage Door" configuration was really nice....great atmosphere.

Van hunt played a great set to a crowd that just wouldn't let him get off the stage. Playing new renditions of old tunes, unreleased tunes, and a cover, he shined like only Van could. The comical banter in between was hilarious and heartfelt. Van hunt always has amazing concerts, make sure you make it to one!!!

What up all, I am writing a review of the Van Hunt show at the House of Blues in San Diego. The show was in a small intimate room on the side of the main building and was real cool. there was about 80 or so people. First things first, Van and his band are funkier than a mosquitoes tweeter and aren't afraid to take risks! they didn't play all the known stuff right away, but rather saved it for the middle and the end of the show! That was great! Next thing was after Van Hunt and the Band stayed after to sign autographs and take pictures. It was real cool. Overall a great performance. My one complaint, it was too short!

When we first went into the HOB venue (SanDiego), we were thinking about how small it was. But we saw it as being intimate and that it was. It was like Van Hunt was singing to us. There was a bar right outside the room and enough people to make it cozy but not crowded. About Van Hunt...he is one of my favorite artists so I dug everything he sang. The backup band did its job. He sang a lot of new stuff and while I like the older stuff, I still was more interested in perhaps buying the new material more than I was before. As a fan, he could've sang a few more songs. The show was fairly on time; lasting about 1 hour. The best thing is that we were able to meet Van Hunt and most of his band after the show. They were at the bar and he was very personable, signing autographs and taking pictures with the fans. So that was a real treat.

Great show! Nice blend of old hits with his new stuff. Did 2 encores and put on a GREAT show!

I've been a Van Hunt fan and follower since he released his first album. And he seems to only get better with time, his music and artistry are that spoken of a true musician and performer. I would definitely see him perform live again, several times in fact! I am hoping he makes a visit to San Diego again in the near future, there was a very good turn out for a smaller venue. Van, you are simply amazing!
