Outrageous Fun

A friend of me told me he saw Mo in concert and she was exceptional, then I went seeing her and it was true. I had a great time!!!!

I was excited when I saw that The Watkins Family Hour was taking their show on the road and coming to The Birchmere. When I saw the lineup of artists who would be performing with them such as Fiona Apple and Benmont Tench it made me even more excited. They met all my expectations and then some. They did most of the songs from their new album as well as a song from Sara's last album and a song from Nickel Creek's latest album as well as a number of others. Mark Shatz also joined them for a couple of songs and played banjo. Mark lives locally and it's common for them to invite friends to play with them who live near the places they're playing. They also had a fellow from Minot, North Dakota join them.He came out at the beginning of the show and talked a little as well as play a couple of songs with his acoustic guitar. He was amusing and very down to earth. He also joined them later in the show. Unfortunately his name escapes me. Drummer Don Heffington, bass player Sebastian Steinberg and piano man Benmont Tench also did songs themselves. Fiona Apple was outstanding. She sang any style of music asked of her including an old style bluesy, jazzy number a la Billie Holliday. Sara and Sean's musicianship and singing were top of the line as usual. It was a very enjoyable evening for my wife and I.

This was old school with old and new blood! Only complaint was that it should have been in Heaven and no barricade! David is awesome as new Casualties front man. GBH did not disappoint (my third time seeing them). Opening act was fantastic. Need more shows like this at the Masquerade.

This the second time we have seen Kenny Cetera and the Chicago Experience. I saw the original Chicago in 1969. This was just as good. They put on a great performance. They sound just like the original. We sat at the front table so we were up close and personal. If they return next year to Casino Arizona we will go again.

Blaqk audio has been around for almost 15 years and this was only their second tour. Had to go. Davey Havok is a seasoned professional when it comes to his stage presence. Even though its only two guys on stage with no instruments.. You don't even notice. The set list was great although they could have done without one of the opening bands and played a little longer

These guys put on an impressive show. They are the real deal. Great vocal quality and musical talent. Check them out!

This event was incredible. Nile Rodgers was simply amazing. Top-notch performances, real NYC style. I felt very fortunate that such talent was will to traveling out to the North Fork. Not an overly well attended event (only about 3,000 versus the 10,000 anticipated). That being said, this was on a Tuesday night and not convenient for many of my NYC friends. Nile mentioned that he is working on hosting this next year over a weekend instead. I think that is key. Martha Clara is a gorgeous venue and great place to host such an event. So worth it.

Iris Dement is a unique singer of Americana, with a voice like none other. She played piano, guitar, and sang for 90 minutes non-stop. And...she is funny, some great patter between songs. All in all, a wonderful evening with a great singer and a lovely human being.

This is just my favorite band, so i have lot of fun, the venue was excellent

Fantastic! Music and artistry was magical! All performers were full of energy. Will definetly go back every year.
