Star 94 Jingle Jam

This was what I consider to be a very weak line up of artists this year for the annual Star94 Jingle Jam. I was hesitant to sit through the two relatively unknown opening acts. I'll start with Echosmith...I had a meet and greet with all 3 bands brfore the show. Echosmith was very quiet, except for the singer. She was very sweet and friendly and created good conversation. Their sound and her voice was great, but they played entirely too long. Also, the lead singer kept flipping and playing with her hair to the point of being annoying and obnoxious. Nerves? Quite possibly since they are all so very young...might just be an inexperience thing. Lindsey Stirling- also great at the meet and greet. Very nice and friendly and good conversation. She was VERY good on stage and got very wonderful feedback from the audience. Her musical talent and athletiicism were outstanding. A joy to watch. This, too went on a bit too long and became boring after a while since it is kind of the same repetitive stuff over and over. She lost the audience a little bit at the end. The Script: VERY ENGAGING AND FRIENDLY at the M and G. Talked to all of them for a lot longer than anyone else and they even let me take additional pictures without complaint. My sister on the other side of the states is obsessed with them (as much as I am) and she was heartbroken that she did not get a M and G with them. We took an extra picture and they even let me hold up a sign for her (see photo). Live...well, what can you say? They are never anything other than perfect. Danny engaged the audience by coming down and singing in the audience quite a bit. Unfortunately, he sustained a scratch on his face from an over zealous fan. Poor guy. I have seen them 5 times now and they have yet to put on a show anything less than perfect. Go see them if you ever get a chance to.

This was my first ever Star 94 Jingle Jam! I went in really only being a fan 3 of the artists & left a fan of all 6 of them! I went primarily for Ed Sheeran, but I love Jason Mraz & like Phillip Phillips. I didn't know Andy Grammer, Grace Potter or Alex Clare by name, but once I heard them I found out that I knew some of their music and that was enough for me to enjoy them. All 6 artists sounded AHHHMAZING live! I think it's wonderful when someone sounds the same (or better) as they do on record. They all sounded better! I love that most did acoustic. It was a great line-up. The Star 94 DJ's did very well during intermissions, & I loved the small Falcons interlude. (Rise Up!) Ed Sheeran having a longer set time & closing out the night was like the cherry on top! And he blew me away when he sang Wayfaring Stranger.

Every part of the Jingle Jam this year was unreal. Amazing. Each act owned the show. I was so unbeliebably impressed. I had been to the 2006 and 2011 Jingle Jam, but this one was hands down the best. Who ever created the line up needs a raise because seriously, the show was spectacular. Each artist was so different and that was the coolest part because they brought their own style and flare to the show.

Amazing! So glad I went. Awesome artists. So glad my daughter let me join her.

As usual, Star 94 did a wonderful job getting the artist together. It was fun, went off on time and was a perfect event for the family!

Even the artists that I wasn't so familiar with impressed me so much! Phillip Phillips and Ed Sheeran were unforgettable!

Okay, so I'll admit the only reason I went to this show was to see Jason Mraz. But I was hoping to discover some liking for the other artists. I was sadly disappointed. Andy Grammar was great but only sang maybe 3 songs! Grace Potter has a beautiful voice but horrible songs. Alex Clare did Too Close well but I couldn't understand a word of his other stuff. Phillip Phillips was pretty good. I loved the cello player in his band. Jason Mraz never disappoints. We left after his performance and did not stay to see Ed Shereen. I have never heard of him but with all the really young girls screaming for him we just didn't think we would really care for his performance.

This was my first concert and it rocked! All the performers were such good live singers! I can't wait til next year!

Went to see one artist... Became a fan of ALL of them!

This was my first time going to Jingle Jam, and it will not be the last! i Had a great time, all the acts where great, the sound was awesome and our seats where great!

Every single performance at Jingle Jam was absolute perfection. I came to see Ed Sheeran, but literally everyone was amazing. One of the best concerts I've ever been to!! Ed was PERFECTION. He, Jason Mraz, Phillip Phillips, Andy Grammer, Grace Potter, and Alex Clare were all phenomenal and I was extremely impressed. I love when I can go to a concert and see a real, amazing performance, not some flashy out of tune or lipsynched act. This concert was amazing and I hope to return next year!

I came to see Lindsey Stirling. I left after her short set. Her solo tour was 3 times better but I understand. Her band and her sounded great just too short. I'll pass on a seated Lindsey show next time... Because its difficult to resist dancing. Haha.

We had an awesome night. Cobb Energy needs to improve on the sound system when you sit as close as we did, it was not great. But overall, we had a great night. I would always recommend an evening out, we have a great time.

Lindsey Sterling and Echosmith sounded great, then The Script put on one of the best shows I've seen this year. Danny's interaction with the fans is unforgettable & every song sounded perfect. Love the acoustics in that venue & The Script is now a favorite!

Concert was awesome! 3 concerts in 1 is a great way to enjoy different artists and still have a blast! I would give 5 stars if the performing artists had played at least 1 Christmas/Holiday song, considering that it's called a "Jingle" Jam. Otherwise it was great, especially getting to hear Lindsey Stirling!

Very good venue! I enjoyed enjoyed echosmith and the script.

The two of the three artists that I wanted to see at Jingle Jam were absolutely amazing. Echosmith did a great job opening the show and Lindsey Stirling had a fun and truly astonishing show. The concert was a great concert and my seats had a good view of the entire stage. Just a fun, energetic, wonderful show

Lindsey Stirling was fantastic as always, Echosmith was great-but sound over powered the vocals--it may have been the soundboard's fault and not the bands. We wanted to hear the vocals better-she has a unique voice! But will go back for other concerts!!! Did not stay for last group.

The show was awesome. So much talent in one show. Everyone was amazing.

I drove 5 of us from Huntsville, AL to attend this concert and the 10 hours roundtrip was well worth the experience. The artists were fantastic! Their live performances sounded as good as, if not better, than the in studio versions. Sometimes the music can be too loud at a live performance, but this one was right on target. You could still hear the artists perform while the crowd sang along and suffer no hearing loss. I would definitley do this again for a similar group of artists.

It was a very good set of musical artists. The sound was questionable at best. - The voice coming through the sound system was often distorted and annoying - The bass overpowered the rest of the audio, drowning out any voice and high end. This concert could have been one of the most fantastic I've ever attended, but the sound quality kept this event from reaching that level. The artists made the sound system seem better than it really was. When the Star 94 hosts spoke through the sound system, it was distorted then. I was hoping the audio technicians would have improved it for the vocalists.

I really enjoyed this year's Jingle Jam. It was a great concert & the performers were all amazing!

I went to this show to see Ed Sheeran and Phillip Phillips and was delighted to find that I thoroughly enjoyed all of the artists. Ed Sheeran killed it and stole the show, but Jason Mraz and Phillip Phillips have a different style of music that was still very entertaining. Overall it was a wonderful show and Star 94 did a wonderful job at organizing the entire thing.

All of the artists that came were similar enough and different enough to make an unforgettable concert. Andy Grammer opened the show great, grace potter had the voice of a beast, the whole stadium was shaking when Alex Clare performed "Too Close", Phillip Phillips mellowed things down to set the stage up for Jason Mraz's angelic vocals, and Ed Sheeran stole the show at the end. Couldn't have asked for a better concert!

I went with my 14 year old daughter. This is what she wanted for her birthday. We had an amazing time. Great seats. The staff was so friendly and helpful. My only complaint is our seats were in section 117, row G, seats 1 & 2. The cameraman on stage filming everything decided to stand DIRECTLY in our path for 80% of the concert. Every once in a while he would move to the back of the stage to get a different view, NEVER to the other side of the stage, always right in front of us. That would be my only complaint. The set up was wonderful. The price was worth it. Again,the staff was amazing. MOVE THE STINKING CAMERAMAN....

Amazing concert. Every act was great. Loved seeing my favorite artists Ed Sheeran, Alex Clare, and Jason Mraz. Also I am now a fan of Grace Potter, Andy Grammer, and Phillip Phillips. Amazing show that I look forward to seeing next year.

Great line up this year. I was so excited I flew from Austin, TX to come see it. I was not impressed by Alex Clare, and I was also upset that I missed Andy Grammer because he is one of my favorite artists. I do not agree with the order of the line-up. I think Andy Grammer should have been one of the middle artists instead of opening. The traffic is really bad whenever I go to the Gwinnett Center, so I always miss the opening acts. However, Jason Mraz and Ed Sheeran were amazing! I also think that Jason Mraz should have been the closer, but Ed Sheeran did an incredible job. Very happy with the concert except that I missed Andy Grammer.

Incredible show. Every performer sounded even better live than on their CD recordings. Would definitely go again. Ed Sheeran absolutely stole the show though.

To see 6 acts in one night is pretty amazing in itself but for those acts to be so awesome was great. My only complaint was I didn't expect to see that many kids/teens there but it was a family event. That and I wish there was more merch to get at the show since I didn't stop by the booth until it was over. Other than that I was very satisfied with the length of sets and the selection of artists. The best part was Ed Sheeran. Unlike all the teen girls there, I wasn't really familiar with him but after watching him play I am def getting his album. He basically did a one man show, looping his guitar and beatboxing for percussion and his own voice for background vocals. He is def more talented than half those girls could appreciate.

This event consisted of 6 artists, which in m opinion was too many. I think for an event like Jingle jam they should have no more than 4. The first 3 acts- Andy Grammer, Grace Potter, and Alex Clare- were extremely rushed. They only played about 4 songs each. I felt like they didn't have enough time. Andy grammer was adorable and very talented. Grace potter was pretty good. Alex Clare was average. The last 3 acts were amazing. Philip Philips and his 3 musicians were so talented. They played percussion, bass, guitar, and cello and it was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed his set. After Philip was Jason Mraz. If you ever get the chance to see him live, do it. He is incredible and full of wit and charisma. He had a female percussionist perform with him who was just the coolest woman ever. I loved that set. The final artist was the one I went to see- Ed Sheeran. He was just beyon words. His voice and his guitar-playing were out of this world. He puts on a better show than anyone else could with a full choir and orchestra and band. At one point he played a song that is very quiet and simple and he requested we fall into silence. He sang an entire song with a silent Arena and then he put down the mic and sang by himself. It was amazing, I have no words for how great his set was. If you ever have the chance to see him live, pay anything because you won't be disappointed.

The concert was SUPER!!! I was so excited to see Jason Mraz- have NO IDEA who Ed sheeran is or why they were all excited over him, but ok. MRAZ was worth it all!! Grace was great, too, as was Alex Clare. Philip Phillips is an up and coming Dave Matthews!! He is just a natural & I love to watch his joy in playing. It was my husband's 1st concert, and he was so thrilled. Thank you!!

The Jingle Jam is a wonderful family event. Great mix of talent, that both parents and kids enjoy. I loved Grace Potter, Jason Mraz, and Phillip Phillips, but wasn't crazy about Ed Sheerhan or Alex Clare. However, my 16 year old son loved Ed Sheerhan, and enjoyed Andy Grammar. So, a little for everybody. A very popular concert for the teen girls, as witnessed by the screaming.

Alex Clare, Phillip Phillips, Jason Mraz, and Ed Sheeran absolutely rocked! I was standing up in my seat for about an hour and a half at the end of the concert. So awesome!

Wow! That's all I can say! I brought my two kids to this, and was blown away by the talent. Every artist was incredible, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

The show far exceeded my expectation! At first, I was only going to see Ed Sheeran, who was ridiculously amazing, but all of the other acts were surprisingly great! Philip Phillips was the biggest surprise, for me; I was never really a fan of his on American Idol, but his set was really awesome, and he is very talented! All of the sets were very stripped down - a few people just had a guitar, others with just a percussionist or just a celloist - so you could really see a new side of the artists. Alex Clare was a bit disappointing, in my opinion, since his songs all sounded the same and weren't really able to be heard because of his big band. But, of course, Ed Sheeran made up for that - he was incredible, and I really wish that he could have had even more time to sing! Overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend this show to a friend, and if the lineup is just as awesome next year, I'll be going for sure!

I was pleasantly surprised at the diverse talent represented on stage. Andy Grammar did a good job warming up the crowd and getting us ready for the rest of the acts. Grace Potter was beautiful on the piano, her White Christmas remix was a little bass heavy/technical/soudnd problems, but all was well when she ended with Paris. Alex Clare was also bass heavy and his stage moves got a little repetitive but again, all was well when he ended with Too Close- the crowd ate it up! Mmmmmm Phillip Phillips, need I say more? I thoroughly enjoyed how he introduced Home showcasing his originality. He put on a great show leading into Jason Mraz who blew my mind. He was flawless paired with an awesome percussion partner- they really amped up the crowd! At this point I was saying I would leave after Ed played a few songs because I didn't know much about him, but OH MY GOODNESS! He blew me away with his raw talent- so much stage presence and energy. His acoustic Wayfaring Stranger was one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen. I can't stop watching youtube videos of him, seriously. The only thing that could have made it better is getting to meet all these amazing artists!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every performance was spectacular! A great dynamic of performers and all complimented each other. The venue could not have been more perfect as the acoustics in the arena were IDEAL for all of the performers and their musical style.

Overall, kudos to Star 94 for an amazing roster of great musicians. Simple setup made for very little downtime and a pretty smooth show. Let's do soundchecks, though. Half the artists were drowned out by the music, the others had popping and miscalibrations. Ed Sheeran had a nonfunctional mic for his loop pedal at the start of his set; Jason Mraz was requesting correct levels during his. All true professionals, any issues were minimalized and they did the best they could with what they had, giving the audience great performances.

Everyone was amazing except Alex Clare!! Ed Sherran and Grace Potter stole the show!!
