Spirit Family Reunion

There is absolutely no way that you won't dance when the Spirit Family is on stage...or at least tap your feet and grin wildly...wait unless you are paralyzed, or dead. Sorry if you're dead. If not, see this band and feel their lovely 'old time mountainside folk'? as soon as possible!

Loved them when they opened for Tedeschi-Trucks, so I was really excited when I heard they were coming back. They did not disappoint! They go on my list of Music That Is Guaranteed to Pick Me Up No Matter What. I bought their new album the next day, because I couldn't stop singing "I'm Gonna Fill My Heart With Love Until it Almost Breaks My Heart." And I still haven't stopped.

Awesome high energy performance. Great vocal harmonies. Large well synchronized sound. Very smooth professional act. Would see them again.

The venue is cool, fun stuff all around the neighborhood. The band, Spirit Family Reunion, is amazing. They are cool and fun at the same time! I can't say enough about the guy playing the washboard! I was mesmerized! All in all, Spirit Family Reunion is a band that everyone can enjoy. You will leave wanting more!

Show was incredible. went to see Spirit Family Reunion, and was pleasantly surprised to also love the 2 openers! So great when you can enjoy the whole thing. Hurray for the Riff Raff have a great sound - singer's voice is incredible. Loved the energy in the room all night. Sinclair venue in harvard sq is awesome - great space, and clean bathrooms!

This was my first time at The Sinclair. Awesome show at a really cool venue. Highly recommended.

These guys are great live! Very talented all-around.

HFTRR dominated the three artist show! It was a great venue with great bands, and I look forward to every visit to the 8x10.

Rowdy good time! I have seen these guys in NYC and again in Los Angeles. Always a great show!

Spirit Family Reunion put on the greatest folk show I have seen in New York City so far. Beautiful harmonizing, wild energy and a wonderful charisma. Even though there wasn't that much space, the entire crowd was dancing and stomping to the beat.

Fantastic show. Great energy felt all around me and generated by Spirit Family Reunion. I would recommend checking them out before they blow up and it becomes impossible to get tickets to see them. They are that good!

The silence that accompanied the opening song was in stark contrast to the sounds of appreciation that would continue through the night. I've seen SFR more times than I can count and they never disappoint. Last night was particularly sweet because they've been out of town for awhile. The 3 or 4 new songs were fantastic and those from the "No Separation" CD still sound awesome. The band had a great time and so did we. During the encore, at some point I think it was the band's turn to listen as the audience sang loudly the closing refrain of I'll Find a Way. Magic.

This was the first time I came to Bowery Ballroom. I enjoyed the layout of the place with a bar area in the basement and then up the stairs to the actual ballroom and then a balcony. Seeing Spirit Family Reunion from the balcony with a sea of heads covering the sold out floor was magical. I sat in the loving cup for sunday brunch when they were playing to like 10 people and now only 3 years later they sell out a 500+ capacity venue. I am always amazed on the nice, polite, and genuine feelings of togetherness that the crowd at their shows produce. Everyone is so friendly and happy, willing to move to let people by or so others can see, I love to see this kind of behavior. I even got to see the inside of the bathroom stall for an unknown period of time because as soon as the band finished I got too drunk and ended up sick. It was worth it all however because I was just so happy and joyous to see people at the local show I don't get to see usually. In the end go and see SFR for yourself and you too can see how this band makes it a show to remember not just for the band but for the experience.

The band was great, so high energy. We had so much fun, foot-stomping, clapping and singing along all night! This band is best seen live and I can't wait to see them again!

Spirit Family Reunion was great. Venue OK. Concert promoted as starting at 8:00, but didn't see this band until 11:00!

The first act, Spitzer Space Telescope - this guy is really talented. Needs to be louder. People couldn't hear the set, so they talked and he was upset. We were upset, because he was good and we couldn't hear it. Hope to hear him again soon. The second act, I believe they were caled Thick Wild. The lead singer captivated the audience with song 1 and everyone flocked in to listen. Solid set, with a real treat- the drummer played the saw for a few songs, which you dont't hear often. Spirit Family Reunion, act 3. Never disappoints. I went with a group of friends who hadn't seen them and they all had a blast and ended up dancing. This is almost always the outcome of their shows! Get out and see these guys any chance you get.

Lively, upbeat and dance-friendly! Venue was great also

Awesome live music, wow. Great new venue. Highly recommend.

Great show. I will see them again. The Mercury Lounge it a wonderful venue to see a show.

Fantastic show, one of the best I've ever seen. Great people and great music.
