Hope and Chance

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.

The mostly Greek speaking audience reveled (pun intended) in the voice that is synonymous with beauty!! The room was on it's feet and the joy of the Greek culture brought to life by Nikos and his musicians was overflowing. Right at home, Nikos first show in the U.S. was nothing short of spectacular.

My husband, my friend and myself had a GREAT time at Maxximize with Blasterjaxx. We traveled up from the Philadelphia area, was very easy walk from New York penn station. Only downside was it was freezing that night, but for a small fee we used the coat check. We would definitely recommend seeing a show here.

The Bell Bottom Ball was a Blast from the past. My favorite act was The Trammps! They are still very suave and are true disco gentlemen. Melvin and the blue notes brought back memorable moments. Bonnie Pointer was very inviting and entertaining. My friend and I danced throughout the entire show!

It was indeed an owe some night! My unforgettable experienced. It must be shared to others. Thanks so much!

As followers of Ashley we know what to expect and that is always a great show. No different this time except the venue and guests. Love Liberty Hall for all it is historically and what it means as an institution in Lawrence. Main floor seating was brilliant and very comfortable and pleasant way to enjoy the show. Always pleased with Ashley's guests and blown away again this time by the featured players and of course Liz Carroll. Excellent St Pat's weekend show, next year let's lower the beer price by a buck?
