Joan Osborne

Joan Osborne singing the songs of Bob Dylan was so good. Her two band mates were very good also. Joan made the songs her own, with her own style. Great night, and Bethel woods was a supper venue. Small and cozy place to see a show. We were in the front row, and had a blast. Highly recommend

Love the mix in local and national talent! Location was on point and plenty of free parking

I went to the Saturday show. Joan put on a two hour show played a lot from the new CD and a few brand new songs. I found the band tight same drummer guitarist as on most of the shows organ player has been with her the last couple of shows and a new bass. Joan was hot slender in black leather looking short skirt black sox and black boots And man did she dance I just wish I could have seen her Friday too. She will be back.

This was a great cause, disappointed at the low turn out. Joan Osbourne was great, a top notch performance. Sharon Little, unfortunately was getting sick. A big thank you for Mary Beth for creating this event!!!

Joan introduced audience to Lera Lynn and her band from Georgia who were talented, versatile and enjoyable! Joan did quite a few songs off her new CD, Bring It On Home and we were thrilled by her interpretation of old R&B and Blues standards. She did such a fine rendition of Motown hits in Standing in the Shadow of Motown and Breakfast in Bed that this was a logical evolution for her. She has always had the musical maturity for that genre. Joan pleasantly surprised us with a presentation of her folk ballad done at the American Song concert at Lincoln Center and it was beautiful. She can sing practically any kind of music and put her own signature style on it. Still love her songs off of CD titled "If God Was One of Us".

Joan was great and it was nice to see her and hear her on the stage again. She still has a great voice and I wish we could she her motre on the main stream again. Her warm-up, Lera Lynn is also a incredible talent and hopefully her voice will be heard in the mainstream as well!!!

What slse can i say the place was great the food was great and Joan has the best voice I have ever heard live she is the real thing Its a shame she is not on the radio or her songs was more avalvle, goig to buy her stuff today she was more than great she was unbeliveable.

I thought she was great and her band is damm good to. I loved all her songs but my best one she sung was what became of the broken hearted sorry but she is great on this song.

Great show with non stop action. Beautiful voice, good musicians, great performance. Worth every cent and then some!

You'd be a complete idiot to miss this show. Stop thinking and buy the tickets already!

I loved her opening act & it set the tone for a great concert by joan. She was singing a lot if sings from her new album as well as songs unreleased yet. She sounded great, has great stage presence, & has a great band with her. A very enjoyabke way to spend the evening.

I've been to probably 100 shows at the Birchmere during the past 10 or 15 years. Joan Osborne's performance was one of the best I've seen, there or anywhere. She was (to use a word I hardly ever use) fabulous. Amazing voice. Tremendous stage presence. Great band. Perfect songs. Put it all together, and you've got a "fabulous" show. When she returns, I'll be there.

I have followed Joan Osborne for over 15 years now and this was my first show. I have gotten all of her albums in the past and the more rythem and blues she has gotten, the more I have enjoyed her. So when I saw she was in town, I grabbed tickets. Her opening act was Lena Lynn and her and her band was amazing to start. Great folksy sound and such a voice. Then Joan and her band took the stage. They kicked serious @ss and owned that stage. Her new album is good, and when translated to stage, blew me away. She is was really into the show and her voice was top notch. I enjoyed the whole show and was really into it. She even signed CDs following so even if I had already purchased it, I bought it again to have her sign it and meet her. What a great experience.

Absolutely wonderful...Both Joan & Dar. I could have listened to their dynamic voices all night. Both together and separately, they made magic at the El Rey!

It's always a stunning experience to hear Joan Osborne sing in a small club or theater. Her intimate performance at the El Rey was no exception. While making sure to cover the key tracks from the first album, she played around enough with the arrangements to put an added shine on them. With only guitar and piano as backing instruments (using the Funk Box app on her IPhone for one new song), Ms. Osborne's voice had space to move and breathe, and she easily filled the acoustic space of this venue. Covers of "Brokedown Palace" , "Tupelo Honey" , and Otis Redding's "Champagne and Wine" were welcome additions to some of her own material, including a goose-bump inducing "Hallelujah in the City" from her Little Wild One album of 2008.

I know Joan Osborne was the headliner, but Dar Williams was the star of the show for me!

Both women were amazing in this stripped down version of themselves!! Dar had hella funny stories, and Joan is so sexy onstage! Joan's voice is seriously too incredible.

Went to see Joan (& Dar Williams) at the FIllmore in San Francisco last night. A great show. Joan has such a soulful and emotional voice which she mastered in captivating her audience. She draws you in and takes you on a journey which leaves you hungry for more. Her show is a stripped down version (no band/orchestra) of hits & covers AND it is pure and passionately delivered. This show demonstrates what a huge raw talent she is on her own. I'm struck by her range and powerful delivery which kept me engaged from the minute she walked onto the stage. i left this show with the hope she make a "LIVE" CD/DVD of this unique performance to watch and listen to again and again.

It was like watching a master artist singing in the Shower. It was a terrific show with just enough indecision to keep it interesting.

I first learned of Joan from the Funk Brothers movie. Her voice rocks.

Great show. Captivating vocalist. Whether a cover of "Brokedown Palace" or an R&B classic ("Ain't No Sunshine"), or a classic classic ("God Bless The Child"), she has the chops. Amazing control, without any hint of sterility. When the musician is turned on by the music, we're all the better for it, and she even turned it on for her one big hit, "One of Us." Eclectic as the Sunday paper, all in one lovely package. Nice.

We greatly enjoyed the music . A treat to see Joan with her piano accompanist in a small venue, great interplay with the audience, a 5 star performance. She's one vocalist who is a true artist.

Opening solo with an entirely a cappella number Joan Osborne commanded the stage. Comfortable and composed, yet not at all cocky, Joan held the room in her hand the entire set.

Joan Osborne is a total master of her craft and is an incredible musician. She has the ability to make every song a unique masterpiece. Her performance was a once in a life time, you had to be there experience. And last but not least she did not charge a fortune for the tickets and was very considerate to thank the audience for spending the money to be there. Joan Osborne is a class act!

The intimate feel of Joan's acoustic set at the Aladdin was amazing. Her voice resonated through the theatre. She is truly such a talent and the night was unforgettable!

I was curious about this show, since i've seen her four other times, always with a band. However, they filled the sound and the room, and then there's that incredible voice. It's as if every song she does become a Joan Osborne song, whether it's God save the Child or Why Can't we Live Together, and then of course, there's her own Joan songs, which no one could ever HOPE to sing as well as she does. Great show and an amazing voice.

Unpretentious, engaging, heartfelt, inspirational, sexy, accomplished, and humble. Joan and her keyboardist were just amazing! If you are tired of the same old "rock concert" vibe, see these two on this tour.

Joan Osborne sings incredibly live. An excellent musician accompanied her.

I AM WRITING THIS FROM MY BOYFRIENDS ACCOUNT This was my first time seeing Joan. Ihave alot of her music and my boyfriend surprised me with tickets. My first impression of the Coach House is that it is a very comfortable setting. The opener was a young lady VERYexited to be there and was very well represented by family and friends. The next performer wasSasha Evans- Who seemed to have stepped out of a time capsule from the older days -She is very talented and her fiddler companion was very fun to hear as well.(recommend them warmly to see if they come thru.) Joan was up with Keith Cotten (who was amazing to hear) she performed songs from all her albums and gave keith a lot of room fto open up and be heard. A great show! I think Joan is very classy and likes to have fun when the audience gets to sing along with her. She even stayed after to do a meet and greet (as the others did too.) I will defenitly recommend her and see her whenever she comes around.

The two opening acts were both worth the price of admission to one of their own solo shows. Joan was, of course, AMAZING! Just before Joan sang a particular song, she explained to the audience that what they were about to hear was going to be just a LITTLE bit different from what they had been used to hearing from her, because she didn't have a 30-piece band behind her, or 15 backup singers, etc., and then she did an absolutely fantastic rendition of (Are you ready for this?) "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?" A quasi-orgasmic moment, if you please. Her keyboardist / guitar player was fantastic. He got a HUGE ovation after a magnificent solo on the organ, which I, personally, started, by yelling "YEAH!," and clapping my hands very loudly, thank you very much.

Joan is a consummate performer. She ran through a fantastic selection of tunes, past, present, and even a few not yet released on media. Her voice is outstanding... resonating throughout the room with perfect pitch, control, and expression. It really is something to behold live. Of course, she played her hits - but it was this intimate setting, with only herself and a keyboard player, where we got a unique glimpse of her full talent. Highly recommended. In fact, I liked it so much, I gifted tickets to a friend to catch the next show on her tour.

I've seen Joan with her band and she was incredible, but acoustic......simply amazing. You got to totally appreciate her amazing voice and range. What a treat!

We saw Joan Osborne at Showcase Live in Foxboro in a stripped-down acoustic set, backed only by a piano. Her voice has never been better, stronger and punchier. She has fabulous stage presence and connects on a comfort level that put us all at ease and in her court. She sang some creative arrangements of some of her earlier material, some interesting new songs and some terrific covers. I know her setlist was limited, but in the future, I'd love to hear her sing "Right Hand Man" live again. Her pianist, Keith Cotton, was a revelation. He is the master of several keyboards and meshed well with Joan's style.

If you are lucky enough to be in or near one of the select sites of this mini-tour, DO NOT MISS IT ! Seeing Joan Osborne in this type of setting w/ just that luxurious voice and incredible piano accompaniment provided by Keith Cotton made for an unforgettable night of music.

This intimate venue was perfect for the show, just Joan with Keith Cotton on the piano. It was a wonderful evening of pure Joan!

It was very very good, despite the fact that Joan seemed to have a bit of a sore throat.

I like small venue shows compared to large concerts so this review reflects that. So, that said, this show was great! Great musicians and great songs. Was never a big Joan fan....I am now.

Impeccable performance in a cozy setting. Not my first time seeing Joan nor my last.

Loved her interpretations of Dyan s songs. She sang a few I d forgotten

Joan sounded as good as she ever did. He pianist was awesome and every song came alive. One of the best small concerts I heard recently. Highly recommend to any Joan Osborne fan and those who don't know her (I have several friends who didn't) should listen and you will become a fan

Super voice and great entertainer. Can t wait to see her again.

Great interpretations! of songs and music of Dylan.

What a lovely event hosted by the city to celebrate women's right to vote. The performances were great. The cost was very low, except for Ticket Master fees. There were plenty of tickets available at the venue, so I wish I had not used ticket master (almost double the ticket price when adding their fees). The venue was also gravel which was unpleasant, but the price couldn't be beat ($5).

The show was just ok. The intermission sessions between acts was way too long.

What an awesome night! A great way to celebrate women! It was also a great time spent remembering the struggle for womens rights that continues on today-starting here in Rochester!

Great venue to attend a show and Joan Osborne was both engaging and still has a beautiful voice. Great show.

Joan Osbourne and Keith C were wonderful and the small venue made it that much more intimate .

We love Joan's voice and versatility. She can do any song and her voice changes as appropriate. We were hoping for some songs from Standing in the Shadows but were not disappointed with the play list.

JOAN WAS AWESOME!!! Her voice was as soulful as ever and had a great chemistry with audience, She was also very warm and friendly after the show ,signing cd's. Can you tell I have a hugh crush on Joan

The Name Joan Osborne's Soul Revue says it all! Joan sang lots of great rock and blues covers as well as several of her originals... From Shake Your Hips to Only You Know, she was amazing! And she even signed autographs afterwards. Joan is a class act, a talented artist and amazing songwriter. She is the real deal!

said it was motown and soul, but was not, more like country, walked out after the 3rd song, wanted to hear motown that was advertised.

Joan has always been a favorite and we have all her music. This was an interesting show since she did a lot of new stuff which was definitely on the quiet side. There wasn't the expected Joan Osborne energy and the show was a bit of a let down. It looked like she might be having some throat problems as well. She will still be one of our favorites and I hope the new record gets her some of the recognition she really deserves.

Well done tight show with a good mix of new and older tunes from a incredible trio of musicians and one iPhone. Enjoyed the show very much.

Joan was on her game, her huge voice filling the Birchmere. Lots of new material. I was a little disappointed she did not include the Jimmy Ruffin tune. Her piano accompanist was excellent, but the guy on guitar looked like he had just woken up, and played the same way. I knew guys in high school who played with more style, talent, and enthusiasm.

I am thoroughly impressed with the performances from Joan Osborne and the openers Griffytown (whom I wish were more widely known). I walked out of there with two new(signed) CDs that I can't stop listening to! I am so glad I got to go!! I will never forget that night! I thank the artists for taking time out of their busy schedules to make the show more personal and interacting with us and signing stuff! Thank you!

Joan Osborn is a great singer. I didn't appreciate how so until I heard her the other night,

Wow, what a great concert and so intimate! She was so down to earth and sang her heart out. I wish she would have sang "Son of a Preacher man" and "Ain't No Sunshine" but she sang all of her other hits and some new songs too!!

We were so very happy with the Joan Osborne concert. In a close setting often it is difficult to enjoy the show because the music is so loud. This was perfect. I could turn to my husband and comment on a song or Ms. O's singing, and he could hear me. As for Joan & her accompanist, they put on a fantastic show. Such a powerful, pure sound. All that beautiful noise from 2 people- so cool. The event gallery was the place to be!

Amazing stage presence. Great songs. Great venue. Show could have been a little longer for the price.

The venue was fantastic. Joan was (as usual) fantastic. I absolutely love her voice and her style. I have seen her many times at different venues. Unfortunately she only performed for a little over an hour (including one encore). She has usually performed for 2 hours or longer. Disappointed but always happy to go see Joan perform.

Joan Osborne is the best female vocalist that I've ever heard. This was an intimate show with only Joan and a piano player, and it was very entertaining. I just wish it was longer.

The venue was small, intimate, not a bad seat in the house which Joan rocked! She's so versatile and talented.

Sorry Joan, but I thought the band was very ordinary, nothing to really grab my attention. The preformance in general was interesting at best. We left before the end as we had seen enough. Price was expensive for value of performance.

The acoustic duet was amazing. I highly recommend this show! I could have watched them for 3 more hours!
