Jarrod Gorbel

I started listening to The Honorary Title and Jarrod Gorbel's albums on iTunes. I had a chance to see him at 7th Ave. in Minneapolis for his Devil's Made a New Friend tour. I was blown away. It was just him and a violinist. I have never heard anyone with a better voice and so much control. His guitar skills are equally good. It's hard to sing and play at the same time and he is masterful at both. He knows how to really hit the notes and not overpower the mic. I can't wait to see him again. He was also very personable after the gig and chatted with the crowd, signing autographs. He also has some decent merchandise at the concerts and on-line, so take a little extra cash and support this great artist!

This was my first time at The Basement and I didn't know what to expect, but the crowd was laid back and pleasant there was no fighting to hear the music and thankfully so! I've been to Jarred Gorbel shows before and always enjoyed them but this show was riveting... he played two new songs off his new EP and thy were impressive, the opening song stopped my thoughts and pulled me in, the words were impactful... Jarred has a voice that really stuns me, his music, his ability, he really has a way with making each song its own masterpiece. I will continue to enjoy his shows and new music... I wouldn't be honest off I left out the opening band, Atlantic/Pacific, as my friend said, and I agree, their style is slow and well blended, really made us slow down. I was impressed and would definitely search out to see them again.

Jarrod Gorbel is an amazingly talented, impressive, charismatic artist & he manages to impress each and every time, more & more. Even if you don't truly enjoy slow tempo music, you'll love his music. He isn't like every other indie artist out there, Jarrod is unique & absolutely fantastic.
