Justin Furstenfeld

Justin's stories are heartfelt and can bring tears to your eyes, some of sadness and some of joy. Constantly entertaining.

This was awesome. It was a small little area that made you feel like you were in a room with Justin having drinks. He explained some background to his songs and life and there was audience interaction and he did a signing afterwards and was able to talk to each and every person there. He truly is humble and a great many rock stars and/or bands could learn from him! Lets get him on the radio to take over the USA guys!

Open Book - was just great performance... nice mix of story telling to a blend of beautiful sounds . Enjoyable , relaxing ... he made you laugh, cry, and feel.

excellent show,told interesting stories about his life, and what prompted him to write certain songs

Amazing venue, intimate and perfect for his acustic concert. Amazing seats and even better pricing, could not be happier with overall experience!!

What a fantastic event. Justin does well on his own so Blue October fans you are not getting less from a Justin only event. Very intimate,honest and very open book approach. Learn the stories behind the music and how the songs originally sounded in Justin's head. Also don't be scared away based in his last album because Justin is in a great place and it shows on stage. One of the best shows!

Justin Furstenfelds Open Book Tour is probably the best music event I have ever seen. Justin has never sounded better! As a huge Blue October fan, I wasn't sure if I would miss the rest of the band, but This was Justin's night! From the intimate venue to the simple yet lovely staging, this could not have been any better! His music has touched so many, and he let all of us know just how much we touch him too! If the concert wasn't enough, after the show, he sighned autographs in the venue lobby for over an hour! What a class act! I hope all music lovers can catch Justin and Blue October at some point. You will be better for the experience! I am a fan for life!!

I wasn't sure what to expect because when I bought the tickets I wasn't paying any attention and thought I was seeing Blue October. Justin singing acoustically and telling stories about his albums and his life was simply amazing. He answered personal questions from the audience. His voice is just beautiful and you can tell he loves his fans. It was one of the best musical events I've ever seen.

I have been to quite a few concerts/events in my days, but nothing compares to the show Justin put on at the Cedar! The raw singing talent was amazing and what a great message he laid down as he told his story. Will not hesitate to see him again next time around!

2.5 hours of nonstop entertainment by Justin. Every moment was gripping. It was a long time to sit in hard plastic chairs though. I would definitely go again

This show was wonderful! Up close and personal. Seating was comfortable, Easy access to staff of theater. The performance was unforgettable! He was awesome! Sang from his heart and soul. I am now a forever fan of Justin Furstenfeld!

So charismatic, such a natural story teller, plays acoustic guitar beautifully and has one of the strongest, most unique singing voices out there. Really enjoyed him opening himself up like he does and layering it with such great, meaningful songs, will never miss him or his band when they come to town.

It was a fantastic experience. A rollercoaster of emotions! Can't wait to see him again! The venue was clean, small, and intimate. Was unforgettable!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Breathtaking! Life altering experience!

This show we were shhhh'd and told not to talk or Sing.. not realizing it was Intimate! Saw Blue October in October it was Awesome.. this show was not! If you want to talk we were told to go out side..

it was absolutely amazing , got to do the meet and greet and didn't lose my mind , was the most calming experience in my life . looking forward to seeing them on the I hope ur happy tour , always an amazing show no matter where they are , well worth the money :)

It was an amazing show so intriguing to hear him tell his story

When he said OPEN BOOK he meant it! He shared some of his most personal moments in his life Every one can connect in one way or another! He goes above and beyond his title of an artist!

Justin Furstenfeld put on an amazing show! I have followed Blue October for 15 years, so to be able to be there and hear Justin tell his "story" and journey through words and music, was incredible! You could feel his emotions as he was sharing with us. I have never gotten emotional at a show as I did at this one. He was sure to put humor in it as well, which brought out lots of laughter from the crowd. He sounded amazing and the setting venue helped carry his voice so we all could hear. We could only find seats near the back, and even though we couldn't really see him, we could still hear him...even when he wasn't at the microphone. The hard metal chairs made it difficult to be comfortable and three days later, my back is still hurting from them but Justin made it all worth it.

I saw Blue October in The Woodlands over the summer, which was my first time seeing them live, and they were amazing. I have been following Blue October and Justin on social media for awhile and I just think he is awesome in sharing his story of recovery with others. He is inspiring #peoplecanchange. But, seeing Justin in this very intimate setting at the Jefferson Theatre in Beaumont was something I will never forget. He told his story from the time he was 16 to the present with acoustic versions of his songs mixed in between. He is definitely a great story teller. The show was 3 hours! 3 hours!!!! And you never would have know it. I could have sat there another 3 hours just listening to what he had to say not to mention his beautiful voice when he sings. AMAZING sums it up. I signed up for the meet and greet before the show so I got to meet Justin and got his autograph and a picture with him to seal the night.

The show was so amazing and the Jefferson theatre was so intimate that it felt like I was the only one in the room. Acoustics and sound quality were incredible! Hell of a show

This man's story inspired me to get my husband to stop making the same excuses about his use and lies. It moved me tremendously! Thank you Justin for the strength!

I was instantly hooked! First off, Justin looks as amazing as his vocals sound. He came off as very real and relatable. His story pulled at my heartstrings, yet he owned up and failed to play the victim card, which I absolutely respect. The show and personal engagement was worth 3xs the amount paid. I have a newfound love and admiration for him.

Justin was absolute perfection. His raw honesty and soul are shown more and more with each performance. This was my second time to see his Open Book tour. I would watch it over and over again if I could.

If you're looking for an up close intimate evening with Justin from Blue October The Open Book tour will blow you away. I treated myself to meet and greet tickets for the show and meeting Justin was the highlight of the night (and maybe my life)!! The high lasted for weeks and weeks after this show!

Justin's music is on another level, the experience i had at the open book tour was like nothing i ever experienced. It was just me and my buddy, he had never heard of Justin and I told him trust me lets go to the Duck room in Saint Louis and watch this. After leaving he looked and me and thanked me and said that was eye opening and life changing. I couldn't agree more. Was truly the best show I have ever been to and next time i go i'm bringing everyone i know to experience this man.

My wife and I went. It was a very small room which made it much better. The sound was fantastic. I really liked that the venue was real clear with the rules. They threw people out that were being loud and disturbing everyone around them. Justin told the stories behind many of his songs. I would highly recommend this to true fans of Blue October. If you are a causal radio fan you should probably skip it.

The format of the open book shows is very intimate and personal. Justin tells stories, answers questions and plays several acoustic songs for 2 hours. Tori Vasquez opened for Justin and played for about 30 minutes. I had heard one of her songs before but it was nice to experience some of her other songs in an semi-acoustic format. After the show Justin came out to the Merch booth and signed autographs and shook hands. He is very appreciative of his fans. If I get the opportunity again I would definitely see the show again. The only disappointing part was the HOB bouncers did not kick enough people out of the show for being loud and obnoxious. We had a very drunk guy in front of us that kept yelling out during the show and really took away from the experience.

I have never been to a concert before that made me cry! Justin has such passion and feeling when he sings that I actually had tears in my eyes. His story is so amazing and when he sings he makes you feel the emotions! This was my very favorite concert ever! My husband and even got a hug from Justin after the show!

All that I can say is that this performance was absolutely phenomenal! I've been a fan of Blue October for years but watching and listening to Justin tell his stories and play with just an acoustic guitar, and in a small venue, was amazing!

I must admit, we went because my husband was a big fan. I was in awe the entire time and completely blown away. The Storytellers style acoustic show was a unique show that I will never forget. Fan for life!

Songs and the stories behind them. Justin's stories were hilarious. Great entertainment!

I have been a HUGE Blue October fan since 2006 and their live performances get better with each tour. Justin's Open Book Tour is no exception. His voice is so much stronger and he seems more comfortable on stage and with fan interactions. The venues for this tour are smaller & much more intimate. Since this was the last date for this Open Book Tour he did mention he will be doing a similar tour later down the road. If you have the opportunity to see this show, it is well worth it.

The open book tour was amazing and very emotional. It is great to hear the stories behind his songs.

Was my first time seeing Justin Furstenfeld, And it was a great show. He just takes you on the journey from him being in a high school band through the peaks and valleys of his career in stories and songs. Now will have to go see him with Blue October for a show !!!

The night was great, such an intimate show, personal stories that just make you feel even closer to one of your favorite artists, the acoustic songs were an added plus. I absolutely loved everything about Justin Furstenfeld's An Open Book Tour, and to top off an amazing night there was a nice little signing at the merch booth by Justin Furstenfeld and Ashley Stone after the show. Having my favorite artist tell me that my hair color is bad ass has assured that I keep this color for awhile. Lol. I'm so glad to have captured some videos and photos so I can always remember this night, it's definitely the best night of my 2015 summer.

During the Open Book performance, the audience gets up close and personal with Justin. He gives you an insider's view of his career and the inspiration behind his music. He is funny, real and honest. What an amazing show!

I have seen Blue October at least 6 times & I don't recall a show where Justin was this in tune with the entire experience of his show. He was honest, funny, intimate, raw, brilliant. I laughed. I cried. I sang. Most importantly, I walked away with a sense of friendship with Justin. He let us in on some of the darkest parts of his past. You truly get to know Justin in the 2 hours he's on stage. He does a wonderful job of taking you on a journey of the bands beginnings to where he & they are at present day. I have never encountered an artist with as much love for their fan base as Justin. I would see him in this format over & over again...simply amazing.

Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October is great no matter what, but to see him live by himself in an intimate setting was beyond fantastic!!

Justin Furstenfeld was on point! The passion in his voice and lyrics will put dents in you its so moving. It was a very heartfelt show with lots of laughs and a huge glimps into the reasons behind his lyrics. I'd go over and over again.

I definitely came for the music. When I heard it would be an hour of music with an hour of talking, I did the large eye roll then looked at my husband said 'why!'. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Justin's story was very interesting and he is a great story teller. It was like watching a really good musical on Broadway, but with just one guy and a guitar. The small venue experience is always my favorite. Great show! Definitely go if you are a fan of Blue October.

Best show I have ever been to. Incredible. His vocals were amazing and it was just a chill, really cool show.

This man, he takes my breath away!! He sings with not just his voice but his heart and entire being! I have been to several Blue October concerts but this was my first Open Book. It's just Justin, a mic and his guitar. Completely raw and vulnerable. You hear songs you've probably heard in the past. You hear them in a new light full of powerful emotion. You won't come away with the same "workout" like you would with a Blue October concert but you're sure to leave with an emotional drain and a calm that stays with you for days!!

Another amazing show. Cant wait till three next one.

I have been to hundreds of concerts and have seen at least 1,000 bands live. I have never seen a more engaging and powerful performance. To be walked through a troubled life in the matter of 2 hours was amazing. There is nobody in the music industry that can make you feel his pain quite like Justin. This is also the only show in which I knew there was no encore. The end was so powerful and emotional, I was ready to go home and reflect. Truly unforgettable.

This was an awesome open book story telling music event!!

Justin Furstenfeld was an amazingly open, honest, and stripped down artist who connected on very real levels with his audience and fans. His voice was impeccable, and he was everything I wished all my favorite artists could be - authentic.

I would recommend this concert to a number of my friends but I don't believe everyone would enjoy it as much as I did. Justen did a great job with the audience. I really enjoyed the rapport he established with the crowd. His singing is amazing and his songs are moving. I am looking forward to hearing him with the band, Blue October, in the future.

Justin was awesome, but the ATL crowd, was the worst I have ever experienced! I would love to see the show again, in a different city.

By far the deepest, most emotionally moving concert event I've ever been to! The intimate setting was fabulous; the crisp clarity of Justin's voice, with all its raw emotion was awe-inspiring, and the story he told, the story of his life, with all its ups and downs and honest answers to fan questions made this night one of the most memorable moments of my life. Best of all, hearing the story of Justin's journey to sobriety and spiritual transformation had me in tears more than once during this show!

The show was OK, but he takes many great songs and slows them down to half speed and is just laying them on an acoustic guitar. The result is a poor reflection of the real songs. The commentary he gives between each song is interesting but it really shows how self centered and over emotional most artists are. Worst of all was the crowd. Several "fans" felt the need to shout out answers or comments while Justin was trying to talk. Very annoying. So bad that the rest of the audience was telling them to shut up. Especially bad was this fat loser behind us named Theresa.

Awesome show!!! Amazing vocals...very intimate. Awesome show!!! Amazing vocals...very intimate. Awesome show!!! Amazing vocals...very intimate

Wonderful open display of the history, evolution, and progression of Justin and Blue October. Delighted I was able to participate.

You could not have asked for a more intimate and personal performance. Justin was at his best and his story was amazing to hear. I would see this show multiple times if I could!!!

This concert was nothing short of amazing. Being just an acoustic evening it allowed Justin to really connect with the audience on a personal level. He even read a few pages from his book and gave you a little insight into his thoughts as he wrote some of the songs Blue October fans know and love. And, lets face it, Justin gave an experience worthy of Justin. If you're a fan, I wouldn't miss this one for the world.

Blue October has to be one of the most underrated bands in the business! That is largely due to their frontman- Justin Furstenfeld. Justin is a brilliant song writer. The words he chooses and how he uses them- blows me away. My fist will always be in the air for him and Blue October. This show was an intimate look into a few of their songs and was coupled with entertaining stories that expained them a little bit. He also read from his book Crazy Making- which I'm glad I got a few years ago and became familiar with. Justin is amusing and heartfelt. I am a fan.

The show was very personal and powerful. Nice to have some insight to the life of the artist.

Being able to listen to a great songwriter speak about how songs came about is ALWAYS a treat - and this was all the show was, just an insight to his mind and soul. Not every artist can do this, but for Justin it was natural. The stories were great and inspiring and the song were even better with single guitar and his voice. If you have a chance, go!

Awesome venue, amazing artist! I have seen blue october many times, but this was a special treat to have Justin all to ourselves! Such a passionate person, and so down to earth and honest. Unforgettable...

Great show!!!! Justin rocked the house! Justin singing the calling was the best part!!

I have gone to 4 Blue October concerts and they have all been amazing. This event was different than any of the other concerts, because of the intimate setting and it only being Justin on stage, the audience was let into Justin world. The audience was quiet and felt all that was happening as Justin talked about it. Any fan would appreciate this experience and love the evening learning about the origin of some songs and life of Justin during that time. Justin love his fans and treat this experience like he is speaking to his friends and always makes sure his fans know what they mean to him.

Incredible show was great to hear the inspiration behind each song and hearing the music accoustically made them even better

Justin came across as a very real person, very humble. My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously. We were able to talk to him briefly after the show and get an autograph. We hope to see him again.

I knew a little about what to expect, and was so happy I was right. I cried, I laughed, I sang at the top of my lungs. It was the best concert i've been to in years.

I've been trying to think of what to write about my evening with Justin Furstenfeld for the last few days since the concert. I've tried to explain to my friends how deeply moving this experience was, how personal it was...but no matter how hard I try, labeling it escapes me. Justin is a very down to earth man. He doesn't try to hide the struggles that he's experienced in his life, so he tells his stories through his music. As someone who also suffers from a mental illness, his words speak to me in a very profound way. His many and varied struggles, his blessed and private moments...his life, is presented in such a way that you can't help but admire him. His life has helped me make sense of my own. Go to this concert, if you miss it go to a Blue October gathering. You won't be disappointed and you'll leave the venue speechless as I did.

This was a really amazing event to be a part of. It was intimate, personal and truly unforgettable. Justin is an amazing artist with a gift of emotional song writing.

I have never been disappointed by any Blue October concert! This exceeded my expectations! The venue was great also. Love, love, love Justin!

Justin Furstenfeld shares his life and his heart with his fans. This concert was the best I have been to. He has an amazing voice and the stories he shares are so very touching. Don't miss this concert if it comes to your area. It would even be worth traveling a great distance for.
