This is the third year in a row that friends and I have attended this event, and it has been consistently great! As a professional event planner myself, I can honestly say that it is one of the most well run public events I have ever attended. The location is pleasant, directions are easy, there are plenty of food and beer stations, restrooms, garbage cans, etc. As for the music itself, the performers are always fun and talented - we especially love Gaelic Storm! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

I had a great time at this show. My favorite band was You Can Be a Wesley. I have loved this band for a while now. Was glad that I got to hang with the band and get to know them better after seeing them so many times in the past. A fun bunch. Can't wait to see them at Great Scott on May 24th! I forget what the name of the second band was, but they rocked. Loved the reverb on the vocals and the grudginess of the Fender Mustang she played. Very talented group with a memorable shoegaze, noise-rock, 90's vibe. Reminded me of my old band in my college days. It was my first time seeing The Shills, althought I've known about them for years being a part of the local Boston music scene. They were alright. The singer was very talented and had a great vocal range but the songs and set didn't provoke me to spread the word about them the next day. Ran into some friends I hadn't seen in forever. T'waz a great time overall!

From the beginning to the end through Shaun's bad cold (or virus), the entire time was exceptionally good. Each one of the band members were excellent and the audience was very appreciative. The little boy dancing in the first row was incredibly annoying since it was so constant throughout the entire show.

I only heard one song by the main act and I've never heard of the opener but they were both phanominal.

The concert was absolutetly fun the dj's from 101.1 the wiz kept. The kids entertained until the acts were ready. The only act I wasn't impressed with would be the new boys at point and times they were a little to graphic for the age group that was there. Other than that we had fun and hope they have another one next year.

Alcest played an amazing show. To be honest it felt and sounded like a dream. I was right up front like 2 feet from Neige and it was an unforgettable, night. The only small problem was Neige's voice was mixed very low at some times, but despite that it was the best concert I have ever seen.

We didn't stick around for much of the headline act's set; but the second opening act 1,2,3 from Pittsburgh, was great. Really tight set, great vocals and fantastic guitar work. I went online the next day to get their album "New Heaven" on iTunes. It rocks. Hope to see them as a headlining act soon.

This was a really great concert with awesome sound, no feedback, and a comfortable and intimate atmosphere

This event surpassed my expectations. The Mercury Ballrom was an excellent venue. Bar, sound, lighting incredible.

I've been an Eleanor fan since college, when I discovered the Fiery Furnaces. I took a friend with me on a little road trip from Pennsylvania to see Eleanor play in Woodstock. We were impressed by the venue and how laid back the whole atmosphere was. She played for about an hour and sang all of the songs from her new album, New View. Excellent voice, and as I said in the title of my review, she is just effortlessly cool. I think the whole audience could have listened to her play all night! I know I could have.
