Black Crown Initiate

Rixton put on a fantastic show. They're energetic and fun and really tried to involve the audience and talk to the crowd, without being annoying. They played an hours worth of music including original songs as well as covers! They're an awesome band to go see and although security tried to push them on the bus quickly, they still tried to take pictures with us! They were really great guys and are awesome to see live! Their harmonies are just as terrific live as they are recorded, which is certainly a feat. Great musicians and performers!

The Fox theatre was stunning but so was this production of Joseph. I saw Donny Osmond do the Joseph role and thought it was fabulous. However this is a retooled version with the choreography updated and a crisp new look. I loved it! A few of the projections didn't quite make sense but overall it was fabulous! Excellent cast and Joseph (JC McCann) was amazing! His voice and stage presence was right up there with Donny! I would highly recommend catching this touring show.

Benjamin Clementine is a fearless singer whose recordings only hint at the intensity he brings to his live performances. His incredible range and control were matched by his passion. The synagogue's acoustics made for an excellent showcase for this gifted singer, pianist and composer. If and when he makes a return to D.C., I'll be there.

A stage full of virtuosos who communicate seamlessly amongst themselves and deliver an inspiring performance every song that touches every individual in the audience. Truly the finest representation of Django's gypsy jazz. Spellbinding and engaging. Had me thinking "How can anyone possibly play that well???"\u2026on Guitar, Upright Bass, Violin and Button Accordian\u2026every instrument was worth a lifetime of clinics on how it's done!

Third time seeing these guys but their first geadlining show. They were better than ever. The band was impeccable. Each song was perfectly executed and the venue was amazing. Hope their hiatus doesn't last too long!

The concert was a lot of fun. Nico and Vinz brought a lot of energy. They performed a majority of the songs from their Black Star Elephant album as well as several new songs from their upcoming album.

When taste of spring first started the event was amazing. However the years have pasted the food is not even close to what it use to be. After the event more and more people are feeling the same way. Too bad. Don't get me wrong I still had fun just hope it becomes a little more upscale like it use to be.

Aimee Mann and Ted Leo are each incredible performers. Seeing this concert makes me hope they stay together as The Both for a long time to come. Each is an incredible musician and each has a beautiful voice. Loved the singing! Great songwriting, too. Absolutely loved this concert!

I really like the Mercury Rising concept. Only local artists. The Hart Strings were okay - as they mature I expect good things. Southern Sirens were fun. Jericho Woods was amazing. This was my first time hearing all three bands and I'll be sure to watch for them at local events in the future.

Kevin is a really great song writer and performer. His band is pretty great too, especially Meg Duffy, who I believe to be just as good of a guitar player as David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, or Stevie Ray Vaughan. When Kevin sings, you can really feel that he feels deeply about his lyrics. He is an open book and his heart is on his sleeve. There was a part during Destroyer where everyone got silent and all that was playing for a few seconds was Meg's guitar loop. It was such a beautiful moment, and as good as live music gets. I would definitely go see him again when he rolls through.
