Hear You Me

I was 2nd row. I held Sierra Kusterbeck's hand. Made my night. Versa's music and energy is un-matchable these days. They put on such a good show. Anarbor and Dangerous Summer were awesome as well. They def. were all fit for a tour like this. I would see this show over and over and over again. In the picture my hand is in the middle :)

As a newer fan of Deerhunter I was worried the show might not be worth the ticket and the drive into town. As it turned out I was worried for nothing. The first opener wasn't bad, the second opener rocked out in an upbeat but mellow fashion, then the kings of mellow rock (Deerhunter) got on stage and failed to disappoint. Bradford Cox and company brought it on with a ton of tracks from their newest record Halcyon Digest, while mixing it up with older tracks from Microcastle and Cryptograms. Deerhunter was very interactive with audience, they made jokes and were very entertaining in between songs. Super cool band, they sound awesome live, check em out!

I first thought I was just getting a great double bill with both Brendan James and Tony Lucca at the same event. Not only did Matt Duke make an outstanding opener for them, they took the stage TOGETHER. Wow! They did a song or two of each artist together, then Brendan James stayed on stage with his band while Tony Lucca took a break. After a few songs, Tony returned for a song or three and Brendan left to take a well-deserved break. They played amazingly well together and the camaraderie was shining through all night. If you are a fan of these guys, you simply must see this show!

The opening act, David Versati, was magical and said the whale was a beautiful emotional musical roller coaster ride. Must see!

This was the greatest concert I have ever attended in my life. They sounded EXTREMELY good live. Amazing energy.

Nostalgic evening with very likeable and talented performers. Definitely recommend and will see it again.

Great set, non stop music. really tight performance. After seeing White Denim six times this was the first time with their new line up. Very interesting to see how they did the old songs without two guitars.

Amazing musician's that know how to play it right. Great night of good old stuff and some new. Get up, stand up if get the chance to see them:)

This show is one of the best I've been to. I'd never been to the venue (the 6th & I Synagogue in DC) but was surprised how great the acoustics of the room were, and how beautiful it was a s well. I was only vaguely familiar with Joe Henry (although his song "Civil War" had become a song addiction in the weeks before the show) and knew John Smith from his tour with Lisa in 2011. The mix of the voices, including Ross Turner on drums, banjo and singing, was truly wonderful. Any time you can see one of all of these artists, take the time to do so. Slainte!

Casio Kids was SUCH a treat. Their style, instrumentation, their modesty-- it was a whirl of absolute goodness. They exuded passion from all their songs, and they were truly appreciative of the crowd. They even came out and talked to my friends and I, took their camera out and we had group shots! They were so, so friendly! Such fresh beats! And don't get me started about STRFCKR... it was mind-blowing. They somehow magically intertwined their heart-stopping, planet-exploding music with the colorful make-up they put on. The energy that flowed between the audience and the stage was an ocean of bliss, colors, limbs and sweat and positive vibes. They played all my favorite songs, interwove the super fast, dancey songs with the slow bouncey ones smoothly. Most importantly, they really, really looked like they were enjoying themselves because we were too. They even let us all go on stage and dance. It was a mad rush--exhilarating--pure anarchy: I couldn't believe they let us do that! Afterwards, my friends and I got to meet a few of them too! :)
