Josh Garrels

Meeting Josh really showed me how humble he is as a artist and his music reflects who he is. I loved the show and look forward to going to the next one.

Me and my husband went to this show because we each liked one of the artists... He went in liking JMM but didn't think it was a great show for him. For one thing, he had a few technical difficulties but it just also wasn't one of his better live shows. I went in liking Josh Garrels music and came out liking Josh Garrels and his music. A humble guy and put on a really creative, not flashy show.

Hey Josh - I love your music. The warm-up guy (apparently your backup singer) was forgettable. His music was uninteresting and the lyrics unintelligible. At least his in-between banter was mildly funny. By the time you came up, we were getting a little restless. (Partly this was the Irving Place venue had the air-conditioning set to "Hurricane" and we were having trouble finding a place that didn't have a steady cool breeze blowing on us). Your set started with a whimper. I know pizazz is not your thing but your music is strong enough that you owe your fans a bit more energy on stage. You looked like you had just woken up from a nice soothing nap; you were very mellowed out. I was disappointed we didn't get "The Resistance". Some of your between-song banter was unintelligible because you were so quiet. Your lead guitarist had some feedback issues with his microphone that took about 4 or 5 songs to clear up. Anyway, I'm still a fan but I have to say this gig was a disappointment. Hopefully we just caught you on a low night.

Wonderful evening. Can't wait till Chicago show on the 25th of July.

I have listened to his recordings and I like the music, but the concert was too loud. He needs to get a better sound man who knows how to set the sound for the room. Because the sound was so loud, and the drum line so strong, it was impossible to understand the lyrics. I would not go again.

Amazing show! Standing room only. Short people couldn't see very well.

Josh Garrels is my favorite singer/songwriter/musician/lyricist, so it's no surprise that his concert was an amazing event. His music opens my heart to God- what an incredible gift he has! Whether it's a love song about his wife, or an intense song like Zion and Babylon, he is the best around. Why he isn't played on every radio station is beyond me- I just know he has extraordinary talent. Everyone loved it!

Other than being a billion degrees and standing shoulder to shoulder for 3 and half hours it was simply perfect! I didn't know any of Will Reagan's material but was captivated from the first note, they are a must see on their own! As good as it gets, deep organic worship! You WILL go home changed. The presence of God was thick as the entire croud entered into worship. Josh Garrels was probably my favorite show to date. He is great! If you have to drive four or five hours to see Josh, DO IT! You will not regret it!

Playing in the "heartland" as he knows it, the state where he's from, Josh Garrels played a reliably wonderful show at Deluxe downtown. Will Reagan as opener was enjoyable as well. Garrels's voice was in fine form, and his backing band of friends was obviously enjoying the proceedings. The lyrics, the melodies, the instrumentation all deliver. Like a sports team playing a home game, Garrels rewarded his audience by offering a couple new songs making their concert debuts.

Full ensemble with world-class talent. This was an amazing show.

Josh is passionate and his love for Christ overflowed in the auditorium. We were are moved - the Holy Spirit was present and touching.

Loved Josh Garrels and Mason Jar Music! What a beautiful collaboration! Bring them back!

This was the best concert I had been to in a while, and I go to a lot of concerts. The documentary that was shown before the concert was SO COOL. I want to buy it as soon as I can because it was so cool to see people making music for the purpose of expressing themselves and not just to make money. Then Josh and the band came out to play. They played so well. The abilities of everyone in the band was incredible, and everyone got to play a solo at some point. We even got to meet Josh after the concert, and he was the most humble person that I have ever met. I will go to another concert as soon as I can!!!!!

Such an awesome venue for an amazing artist. We drove 7 hours to see him (and then 7 hours home) and I don't regret it in the slightest. I would definitely recommend going.

The entire cast is bursting forth with talent! Josh Garrels has an incredible voice and touching lyrics and the ensemble is a bunch of kids whose talents reaches across many genres

Josh Garrels and the band were absolutely incredible!

Josh sounded fantastic!!! The group of talent that joined him were a treat! Everyone complimented each other. The only thing I would improve is turning down the background instruments during White Owl; it was hard to hear Josh during that song. Thanks to everyone for coming out after the show to mingle. Between that and the movie, I feel like I know more about each of you and even more connected with your music. Thanks again Josh for being obedient on your journey!!

same as listening to the cd. Josh, you need to share more and connect with your audience.

I have never before left an event with more respect for the artist and his/her sound than I already had when I first arrived. But this changed everything! I left with so much respect for Josh Garrels and wanting to support his life that I even started donating monthly. He was AMAZING live and the film beforehand truly makes you appreciate his whole sound and the lives of those involved in creating it. Everyone involved did such a great job, and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to hear them and get to know them all a little better through the film!

The show was phenomenal. Mason jar music was wonderful.

What an amazing show. i enjoyed every minute of it. Josh Garrels voice is incredible.

Such as amazing concert full of love for the Lord and music.

I bought 4 tickets for my son and friends. He saw Josh last year in Atlanta area. Josh Garrels has become a favorite of our whole family. We plan to see him every year when he comes back!

Absolutely incredible show! The way Josh writes his songs penetrates straight to your heart. And while he doesn't shove Jesus down your throat at all you can't help but worship when listening to his music. Also, when I met him afterwards he seemed like what I had to say mattered deeply to him, like he wasn't just trying to get through the night. Watching his documentary prior to his performance was great too! I was really blown away to watch how everything came together and hear his heart behind his music. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be there and I encourage everyone to engage with Josh's music if you haven't already.

I have seen many great artist,,,Dylan, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, Tom Waits...Josh Garrels show was one of the best I have seen in a long time. It was my 10 yr olds first concert as well. He is beyond description

Great venue and Josh Garrels is an incredible musician, singer, songwriter and performer!!

Josh is always a pleasure to see. This was no exception. Wonderful, as usual, Josh. Thank you.

Josh was as good as he always is, if not better. Venue was good but the downside was the lights either beaming into audience (before show) or worse during show FLASHING into our eyes. Gave me a headache.

Enjoyed an evening of food and amazing concert. The venue is large but still has an intimate feel. My only complaint is that the show started late and there was too much time between opening act and Josh. Well worth the wait though!

#ohmy #hediditagain #amazing no, #beyondamazing show @houseofbluesanaheim last night @joshgarrels #joshgarrels so #gifted thank you for #sharing #freedom #whatashow #thankyouJesus #thankYouAbba

Fantastic music and venue! Everyone one was welcoming and accommodating.

This was the first concert I believe I've ever paid for and it was very much worth all of it. Josh Garrels and the rest of the guys are absolutely amazing musicians and seem like some of the most down-to-earth and just really authentic people you could go to see play. We walked from our hotel to the Belasco Theatre (about 2 miles) and the initial 2 hours of standing was getting pretty difficult, but as soon as they came out to play, I was hooked until the end (and still singing the whole way back). I'm not usually one for concerts honestly, as I'm typically just content with blasting the music in my house or car or watching live from home, but hearing and seeing them live transforms how you hear their music later and it is so powerful. I feel blessed to have been introduced to their music some years ago. This is the direction the industry is going and I can't wait for it! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because of the show starting later than expected and there being no place to sit in the theatre until the opening performer started (otherwise, we would have been fine waiting even longer if needed). Plus, a single water bottle was $5 and you can't bring your own in. We were dehydrated and caved for a water to share. The lighting was awesome and the distance to the stage with the amount of people was ideal for me. However, with all that in mind, I will hopefully get to go see Josh Garrels and the band play again, but will be avoiding the Belasco Theatre for any future shows.

What a concert ... Josh Garrels was right on ... his voice is distinctively amazing, the music unparalleled. What a genuine man, his music message clear .. he is the real deal !! Great set list ... Hiding Places was awesome live !! Loved watching the chemistry on stage, not only within the bands, but between the bands .... John Mark McMillan really knows how to engage a crowd, the bass player is really intriguing ... They all played their hearts out ... John Mark broke into some Springsteen which surprised us, then the bands got together at the end to unify the house singing U2 ... "Pride"

A must seen show! Inspiring and utterly awesome! Both of their voices are even better live and each band was fantastic!

Well for Christian artists they were cool except there was no prayer there was alcohol serving there was just not the the feel of God

Awesome. Every time little leg room. Great view. Good mix. Killer voice

First time seeing Josh Garrells live. Very moved by his performance. Judging by the audience's response, I wasn't the only one.

A fantastic and memorable concert. Josh Garrels is inspirational, talented, and has great stage presence. His voice is full of variety, making listening to him sing a treat. This concert is worth going to year after year.

It was great! I would definitely go again. So cool to hear my favorite songs in person!

Josh Garrels can sing....wow....and also put out a great concert. He's also funny. I am so glad I had the opportunity to see him. I would recommend anyone who loves folk music and Christian music in general to see him and his posse play. Cannot wait to see him again.

Incredibly talented individuals who love the Lord our God Jesus Christ and demonstrate whole heartedly through there music. Good wholesome sound enjoyment.

Wow! Josh Garrels is one of a kind, and same with John Mark McMillan. Great to take everyone and anyone too. A night of story telling and worship! So beautiful! Check them out, your soul will be glad and rejoice that you did!

It was so much fun and it felt so intimate even in a room full of a thousand people. I can't wait to see them again!

Loved the location, LOVED the music! Great show overall.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- On Jan. 27, 2016, Josh Garrels and John Mark McMillan kicked off the Revelators Tour at the Uptown Theater. Individually these artists have proven to me that they are worth a road trip. Last year I traveled to see Garrels in Lawrence, Kan. and McMillan in Memphis, Tenn. I was thrilled to catch them together at a venue so close to my home. High energy, falsetto, beyond the blue goodness is what you get with these crews. I always end up bringing at least one friend who is new to their music and their reviews consistently affirm that these guys put on a fantastic show. If you want to see the light of heaven's porch grab a ticket for these bands quickly.

Soooooo, if you like the recordings you won't regret experiencing the music live. I came specifically to see Josh Garrels and band. Them alone was worth me relaxing my penny-pinching standards to attend. Their set-up on stage was simple. Allowed you focus on the music and not a show. Josh Garrels' delivery was as true to what you hear on the recording as one could only hope. Canna believe his falsetto is that real. What?? It's a concert that any person who loves music done well and passionately would adore. And if you're a worshipper, you know, someone who hears the message in the songs and just desires to praise Christ (along with some really good music) , you won't be doing so alone. Because the brothers on stage will be doing the same; they create an amazing, welcoming atmosphere for all who attend. They welcome all of us to the table...hah!

This show was excellent. It's the second time I've seen Josh, and it's the first time I've seen John Mark. The show was great! They sounded wonderful and were very interactive with the crowd. I loved their performance, and the music is very personal/heartfelt. I can't get enough of these guys music!

Unbelievably amazing. Highly recommend seeing these guys.

This show was amazing! I can't wait to see Josh Garrels again!

The venue was amazing. Josh Garrels was of course incredible. It's been a long time since I've been at a smaller venue or a concert for a single band (as opposed to festivals or large tours). A great experience for sure. Sound was good, visuals were good, music was good. An all over great experience. Didn't hear every song I wanted but you can never expect that.

Josh Garrels' music is a mix of folk and soul. Many of his lyrics come from a Christian perspective, though his music is so independent and thought-provoking that it would never be played on typical CCM radio. His falsetto really shines through his music, and he and his band put on an amazing show.

I have been to countless concerts over the last 40 years. I can honestly say this is the best one ever. Garrels is the most genuine, pure, real musician that I know of today. Drove 10 hours for this concert and was not disappointed.

Josh was amazing. He sounded even better than his recordings, which is pretty awesome. Not many artists are as genuinely talented as he is.
