White Tie Rock Ensemble

Of course their last show of Dark Side was the best Ive seen so far, but this show was wonderful also! I enjoy seeing the same group of musicians tackle the different bands. The 4 bands, ELO, U2, Rolling Stones and Wings are not my faves of all time, but I understand the overall appeal. Its not every day one gets to see ELO with violins and such. The Wings was probably my favorite set overall and the encore was dead on. I brought 3 couples with me and we have all bought our tix for the next show!

The show was wonderful. My only concern was the Video/Camera crew constantly blocking the view of the show.

The mood was set right from the start. An old Syd tune right into Brick in the Wall. I have never seen the song Dogs played live and I'm so glad they played it so well!! Thanks White Tie for checking that off my list of tunes. Dark Side was fantastic. The female vocal was chilling. I already have my tickets for the next show! I am always impressed by what the ladies and gentlemen produce in White Tie. Cant say enough!

American rock, Journey, The Eagles, Van Halen and Aerosmith were GREAT. Our local White Tie Rock was fantastic as usual and everyone around us had the best time ever! Keep it going White Tie and we will be there every time!

White Tie Rock Ensemble is a group of incredibly talented musicians. American Rock was the theme of this concert and I was not disappointed. Journey, The Eagles, VanHalen and Aerosmith classics were performed. CANNOT wait till the next concert, which will be Abbey Road.

My 7-day beach trip to Pensacola ended last Saturday night with a fantastic evening with White Tie Rock Ensemble! OMG! Incredible! Enjoying my favorite bands all over again! I've got laryngitis from singing along song after song after song. Fantastic musicianship! Spot On! The crowd participation was just as entertaining as the band...basically, it's one big party! I got to do this again!

Incredible Talent- The Lead Singer is Free and electric with everything he does and can duplicate and reach any note he strives for!! The lead Guitarist's fingers masterfully Dominates any song without a bead a sweat shown! The younger guitarist was fun, enthusiastic, and on point! The guitars' sound... is incendiary. Incendiary. Way to go! ;)The Bassist is Multitalented- tight to perfection with multitudes of styles and vocally being able to hit any note that complimented his lead singer to perfection was absolutely beautiful! "Dream On"! The Keyboardist was the most alive keyboardist I have ever seen on stage- He didn't just tickle those Ivories! The Drummer was quick, accurate, clean, and intricate with every song! The younger talented individuals in this Tribute Band is Pensacola's UP AND COMING! You cant find any better talented youth!! All Strings..... BEAUTIFUL and FLAWLESS! The Quartet brings this band to a level most musicians can only dream of! The Crowd was fun and WAY Entertained! Amazingly classy at the same time! you really cant find that at a Rock show....

The White Tie Rock Ensemble's performance was an unforgettable music experience! This was absolutely a musically mind blowing performance by Pensacola's finest musicians. The most amazing moment was the standing ovation from the entire audience. The fact that it was a SOLD OUT show at the Pensacola Saenger Theatre testifies for itself. EVERYONE, do yourselves a favor and buy your tickets to the next show!!!

the show was great, closest to the original artists as you could recreate. This is a great group of local musicians that are extremely talented with an impeccable eye for musical details. The lighting and sound were also spot on

White Tie Rock Ensemble is a very talented group of local musicians that present classic rock music to their audience, much the same way the a symphony orchestra keeps classical music alive. They are fun and imaginative with their concert, inviting the audience to interact, and to join in. Just saw them on June 25 at Pensacola Saenger Theatre and it was the BEST concert to date!!!! Couldn't get enough of classic Journey tunes, performed authentically and expertly. Go see them - you won't regret it!

The talent in this group of musicians is unbelievable! The entire concert was outstanding. My favorite part was the guitar duet at the end of the Eagle's Hotel California. Close your eyes and your listening to the Eagles - only better! Their new light show added to the experience and Pensacola is very fortunate to have a hometown group like this. Their new light show added to the experience and I'm looking forward to the next show - Beatle's Abbey Road! Bring it on guys (and girls)!

Way to go, Jonathan! Another FABULOUS evening by the White Tie Rock Ensemble!!! I never been disappointed with any of their performances. I just love that this is a local band and they have such a huge following. The fact that they SOLD OUT the Saenger Theater says a lot. Always a great time and great music! Looking forward to the next show!

I've seen them perform many times, and I can't get enough of White Tie Rock Ensemble! It doesn't get any better than this wonderful band of extremely talented, GREAT people! The fun they are having on the stage during their shows is contagious. Their level of professionalism and perfectionism in everything they do never ceases to amaze me. The bass player is MULTI-talented to the NTH degree! He does all of the musical and video arrangements, plays bass guitar, violin, mandolin, etc. Every single one of them is the best that there is at what they do. I'm convinced the lead singer can sing anything and make you think you're listening to the original artist. The lead guitarist will simply blow you away with his talent. The keyboard player obviously loves what he does. It's so fun to watch him make magic and perfectly reproduce so many favorites. The drummer....Just...WOW! And the women on strings in the Tied Up Quartet sound AND look beautiful! The light show is amazing too! Do NOT miss a chance to see White Tie Rock Ensemble!

Once again I was blown away by The White Tie Rock Ensemble!! My favorite has always been their renditions of Led Zeppelin and I was skeptical of the choice of Journey but was blown away. The talent in this band is extraordinary, and I enjoyed every minute. This is not my first show and it will not be my last. Thank you White Tie for an unforgettable show once again!!! Linda P.

Ive seen White Tie do The Wall by Floyd, a Led Zeppelin show and now an American Rock show! Everything was awesome! The singers nail the tone and delivery without fail and the band is spot on! Plus a string quartet and fantastic lights! Videos too! Check em out for yourself and you will see what I mean.

I am ALWAYS glad to have an opportunity to watch this group do what they do!!! These are some of THE most talented people around!! They deliver incredible music, vocals, lights, and everything that goes into a rock show! Every person involved works incredibly hard, and it shows with EVERY show they do!!! Creating a fun, rocking show for their audience is top priority and you can see it every time they perform. I CAN'T wait to see the next one!!!!!

They did not entertain us! The band members were robotic. They did not put on a good show. The bass player never moved. It was as though his feet were nailed down. At least the drummer and the rhythm guitar player were good. The bald singer moved clumsily and the violinists girls swayed. Honestly, I was so bored that I spent more time looking up at the screen showing old MTV music videos than I did looking at the robotic band members. They played way too much Journey followed by the Eagles then intermission. They returned and played maybe four Van Halen songs before attempting Aerosmith. I'm sorry but no one can duplicate Steven Tyler. We left after listening to one Aerosmith song. In addition, they started the show 30 minutes late! Also, the crowd was geriatric! I think we were 2 of the youngest people there and we're not spring chickens! Do yourself a favor, don't do It! Or at least know what you're getting into. I've seen rock cover bands in night clubs do better...

Trans Siberian it was not. The Christmas cartoons / movie out-takes were distracting and weird in between songs. The venue while gorgeous - is not for rock concerts. It's hard to get in the mood locked into theater seating.

First time for me and family to see them and it was awesome! My son loved the video clips. The singer was phenomenal, one of the best concerts I have ever been too!

I was so disappointed when I found out that this was not Trans Siberian Orchestra as advertised but some other band trying to play their music. There was no wording of this in any of the advertising. Many disappointed people there.

We have seen them several times and they just get better! Great choice of all of our favorite bands! What a gem for Pensacola. Total lighting and sound rock concert experience. Can't wait until the next one.

The versatility of this band is something to behold.We have seen all their concerts,and have yet to find a group they copied sound anything but like the original.They feature a large screen video of the band they are playing.You watch the video ,and swear you are hearing the original.Went into the last concert sceptical that they could reproduce Queen's sound,they nailed it.

I ve been to six shows and each one has blown me away. I ve already got my tickets to the next show!!

.I saw WTE for the first time Saturday, November 18. It will not be my last time. I'm hooked. Phenomenal talent. Mark Ellis has as much energy as Mick Jagger. His voice is incredible. From Bowie to Zepplin, WTE has it down. I'll be at every local show possible from hear on out. Great evening!

totally awesome show!!! these guys know how to rock! will see them again for sure.

LOVED IT...HOWEVER WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE MAIN ZEP...."

This show was my first exposure to White Tie Rock Ensemble and damn sure NOT my last! The group was super tight and very energetic. Lead vocals and drummer really stood out to me but every musician definitely had their act together. I was very pleased and very impressed. Thank you SO much!

Wasn't sure what to expect but absolutely loved this show. Covered all the favorites, singer didn't try to imitate but just sang great, all the musicians were phenomenal. Don't be fooled into thinking those ladies in the back were a Robert Palmer video, they rocked the house down with talent. Best concert I've been to in a long time!!!

Just saw White Tie do The Who, Queen, Bowie and Zep! The performance was spot on! Great Zep set. I already bought my tickets for the Christmas show and I cant wait! Keep rockin and Ill keep coming!

11/18/17- I'm sure the show was great. As for me I didn't make it. I normally get a heads up as the show draws closer. Not this time.

This band covered the Who and Led Zep note for note. Must see!

The show reminded me of a Las Vegas show but the lighting was horrible. Couldn't see the performers most of the time. Stop Blinding the audience with strobes and spot lights and it would be good.

Excellent concert. As usual the White Tie Rock Ensemble rocked the Pensacola Saenger Theater with an outstanding musical performance enhanced with a dazzling light display and video. Enjoyed the entire performance.

Excellent group. Looking forward to their show in Feb with Pink Floyd

White Tie Rock Ensemble knocked it out of the park performing David Bowie, Queen and The Who. Their last "act", Led Zeppelin, just wasn't up to snuff. Song selection was poor and performance subdued.

I had a blast at White Tie Ensemble's performance of Abbey Road! It was absolutely fantastic! Where else can you go in this area to hear an entire Beatles album performed? I'm a little confused at some of the other reviews. The sound and lighting was incredible. Some people are saying the second set didn't have recognizable songs. They advertised that they were going to play Abbey Road, people. If you bought a ticket, would you have not thought to pull out the record and reacquaint (or acquaint) yourself with it? The band delivered Abbey Road as promised and I can now check one off of my bucket list. Thank you guys and gals! Can't wait for the next one.

At first the bass was overwhelming, but that was adjusted by the third song. Rest of the first half was great. I was ready to sing along. After the intermission most of the songs sounded alike, which may be what the White Album is all about. If so, I missed the point. I was ready to leave after 30 minutes, but my wife was enjoying it.

The whole ensemble was top notch, and it was uncanny how the lead singer matched the vocals. Cna't wait to see their next show!

White Tie, along with the complete orchestra in support, did an absolutely amazing job recreating the entire album. It could not have been better (unless the actual Beatles showed up!) Hope they do more Beatles albums in the future......we will be there!

The show was outstanding. All my friends that were there, share the same view

WTRE is an amazing group of musicians , including a spectacular middle school string orchestra. They put on a great multimedia show. The high caliber of talent is professional and exceptional.

Our second White Tie show this year. The preparation and execution of their shows is truly amazing. This time there was an orchestra accompanying the band and the string quartet which added to the richness of the sound. Some vocals and harmonies were not as spot on as they were in a previous show. Still they show a tremendous range. One could quibble with their set list. Abbey Road was promised and delivered but some of the other numbers were more obscure Beatles' fare especially in the second half. We had a fine time and recommend the show.

Fantastic. We'll see them again. It was nostalgic yet current. Lots of early video footage and other video that was interesting and fun.

The Beatles Abbey Road show was fantastic! The quality of the performance, the videos, the lighting, and the pace of the show really made it special. I brought along my 34 year old son who also felt it was an incredible night.

We attended the British Rock concert in Mobile and were blown away! Being boomers, we had seen those bands back in the day and White Tie nailed it! The volume was wonderfully loud and recreated the authentic rock concert sound! The lead singer did a great job with Robert Plant! Amazing musicians on every instrument. They even had a light show to rival any traveling rock band! The girls on string instruments added to the entertainment value. If you want to relive your youth or just hear some really good music, go see White Tie. We will certainly be back!

I figured Id check this show out a second time! This is my 3rd show since March and they keep getting better and better! The Floyd set was the same from March, but it still seemed fresh and exciting. The Who was new to me from White Tie and it was great! Zep was the main course and these musicians handled it with ease. I will keep going to these shows as long as I can handle the drive. This is exactly what my music deserves and these guys and gals are top notch from the playing to the lights and sound. Rock on White Tie Rock!

This was hands down the most disappointing concert I've been to in 30 years. It failed on every level for myself and my date. We actually ended up leaving about 45 minutes into the performance. A first for both of us. The music was played at a deafening level. It was impossible to distinguish the individual instruments. The musician's grasp of the material fell short. Loud is not the same as proficient. The overwhelming sound of bass dominated everything and not in a good way. It felt physically painful. The strobe lights were bizarre in their brightness. They appeared random and unfocused in the application. The singers were impossible to hear over the instruments. I am not looking to start a debate or continue the dialog. Just sharing my experience. We will never attend another White Tie Rock performance. Can we get our money back? Or compensation for a future performance?

My group of friends and I really enjoyed the "Beatles Abbey Road" production by White Tie Rock Ensemble. 2nd generation of Cecil Clark family's Clark & Co. still making great music.

I've been to several White Tie Rock Ensemble shows. Everyone of them is outstanding. The latest one in Mobile was no different. The band sequed seamlessly from Pink Floyd to The Who and then blew the doors off the place with Led-Zeppelin. By the time they closed the show with Kashmir, the whole crowd was rocking. One lady in my row was up dancing for her man, rhythmically gyrating in a way that left no doubt she was having a great time. (So was he.) I overheard several people talking about how great they thought the show was as they left afterwards. They were all wondering when this great band would be back in Mobile.

We were very pleasantly surprised by The White Tie Ensebmle performance (British Rock) at The Mobile Civic Center. As a tribute group, I'd expected to be frequently feeling that 'this doesn't sound authentic", but I soon forgot my skepticism and totally enjoyed the performance as if the WTE was the authentic bands. We also found the music video big screen projection of the original performances very entertaining. I literally remembered these original MTV performances, and it was like a flashback of memories for my wife and I. We also liked that WTE did not use a 'warm up band', but performed energetically for 2 1/2 hours with one short break. Bottom line, we loved the performance and would highly recommend the WTE!

This show was amazing . White Tie Ensemble obviously respects the music. I have listened to the music of the Pink Floyd , The Who, and Led Zeppelin since I can remember , but this was the first time I heard it live in the way the real bands would have performed it . White Tie Ensemble faithfully recreates the complexity and depth of the music. I wish I could see and hear the performance again . I felt bad that the venue wasn't sold out , but for those that came it was a treat .

One of the BEST Concerts I have ever been to. The crowd was into every song White Tie performed. Where else can you watch 6 or 7 of your favorite songs from 4 of your favorite bands played by a group of unbelievably talented musicians in a single concert. I was in awe watching and listening to the Singer belt out Journey, Van Halen and Aerosmith and blowing the crowd away with every note. Both Guitar Players were phenomenal, when they hit those riffs in harmony they had the crowd jumping to their feet especially on the Eagles Hotel California and Van Halen's Hot For Teacher. This band was tight. I Love Aerosmith's music but saw them live and they sounded terrible, but White Tie played their songs and the other group's songs great. Do not miss an opportunity to see this group, you will not be disappointed, You will become a fan. There are lots of pictures and videos posted all over facebook from this show, very cool.

The Pensacola Saenger Theatre has a seating capacity of 1,641 patrons and from the strong applause, loud cheers, and other sounds of overwhelming audience approval after each and every song played during the White Tie Rock Ensemble's "SOLD OUT" Saenger Theatre concert this past weekend, it would be an easy call and sure bet conclusion that at least 1,640 patrons would strongly rate the event as a 5-star "amazing experience"!!! Can't wait until the next White Tie Rock Ensemble concert (and have already purchased tickets)!!!

We are going again this year and we wil look for them next year enjoyed the strings

Great group of musicians. They always have a great show and provide a great evening of entertainment. Plan to attend all their upcoming shows

White Tie continue to entertain! A true rock experience. From lights, to sound and musicianship, they recreate the feel of the actual bands. Mark Ellis' vocals are amazing. What a great Saturday night out. They are a true treasure to Pensacola and continue to draw regionally. We met many folks attending the show from out of the area. We cannot wait until the next one.

Really enjoyed the Show.We will see you next time.

One of the most exciting shows I have seen in a long time! Can t wait for the next one

Band itself is talented.That is all Im gonna say...

Instrumentals were excellent. Vocals on rock tunes great, ballads or other tunes with a distinct melody, not so much. Disappointed that there were no "Beatles" songs as the event was billed as the British Invasion.

After watching and throughly enjoying Black Jacket Symphony i was expecting White Tie Rock Ensemble to be similar in performance. I quickly realized i was mistaken during the first song. The musicians (band) themselves were good actually. However the lead singer left a lot to be desired in my personal opinion when trying to do justice to the iconic songs / singers they were representing. He also didn't harmonize well at all with the bass player who in my opinion had a better voice anyway. I'm not sure if this band switches singers often for their shows but I sadly wouldn't recommend watching them again with the current one. The stage lights / strobes were angled at the audience in such a way that we were blinded half the time during the performance. Even the bass player announced right before the intermission that we all should "get a drink and some sunglasses" so I know it wasn't just me. Anyway, that's my two cents.

They do a great job of taking you down memory lane. Great music, lights and video footage.

ELO music and videos were fantastic. Also enjoyed the Stones segment. U2 brought the crowd energy down. Ending with Wings was a mistake. Just didn t care for that era of music from Paul.

It was just ok, the crowd was a bit boring and mellow but we managed to have a good time. This was less of a show and more of just listening to music.

Ive seen Brit Floyd 3 times and have my tickets for their show this summer! White Tie Rock Ensemble gives them a run for the money! Id say BFloyd brings a bit more lights and toys, but musically WTRE is more exciting. They take PF to a new level while nailing the sound and feel. I saw the Black Symphony do Dark Side last year and it does not compare to this or Brit Floyd. If you want an "A" level night out that takes you back to your youth, WTRE cannot be beat. I think I have seen every show by this band and they nail every group! Im obviously partial to Floyd and this show may have been the best yet! Guitar player kills it!

I have been attending rock concerts since the early 70's so I have seen at least 400 professional touring bands. I have thoroughly enjoyed every White Tie concert attended and this one was the best. . I've seen them cover Zeppelin, The Who and many others and they always do a great job.

Every show is amazing. I cannot recommend them enough. If you don t see this band, you re missing out on an incredible experience.

Mediocre band - not nearly the caliber of musicians that Black Jacket featured during their Pink Floyd show.

White Tie never disappoints. A great representation of mostly cuts from The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. A few other tracks were offered although some of them (like Dogs) although done well seemed to slow the momentum of the show. Since I enjoy Pink Floyd I would say that I have had a fuller experience with Brit Floyd but we hardly ever miss a White Tie show and are always rewarded. Good job.

In a word; Amazing ! The venue has great acoustics. The light show was mesmerizing. The musicians are incredible.

We are still talking about the White Tie Rock Ensemble Christmas concert! Put us in the spirit! It was the perfect mix of multi-media. There were great video clips in between some of the music. Made it really entertaining. They played all the best TSO music, too. Loved the Elvis and Eagles. Could not criticize a thing. The only problem is that it went by way too fast! Hope they do the same type concert next year. In the meantime, we can't wait until the next White Tie concert. With their talent, they continue to amaze!

The group and its music is great. I personally found the animation and movie clips distracting and not really enhancing the experience. It took away from the musicians and their performance. I know someone worked hard to put the video together but for me it took away something from the actual live performance. Please reconsider for next Christmas, keep it about the music and singers and musicians.....

Trans Siberian orchestra was excellent. Would highly recommend.

First set was too loud and hard to recognize the songs, I understand it was TransSiberian which is loud and not traditional. Second set was better.

Having seen TSO twice, these guys have the music down pat! I loved the change up with the Christmas songs and movie scenes! This is my 4th show seeing White Tie and I am always impressed with the musicianship and overall polish the shows have. Keep it up! Ill be back!

Special effects were amazing,Instrumentals spectacular,Vocals which are usually the highlight of the concert ,seemed to be overpowered by instrumental volume.

Expected MUCH MORE TSO music. Too much video, miscellaneous Christmas music. We left disappointed in the lack of TSO music since they were billed as White Tie TSO. The groups music was good however, based upon event advertising, we expected more TSO music.
