Hobo Johnson

Hobo Johnson is in theory a raucous good time when live, he’s a smart, naturally funny, gregarious person who seems like he could do a good job working a crowd. His new album even holds up to the first one. Hobo Johnson is in reality a guy who is clearly not sure how to handle not having a band, and who is neither confident enough to play his new stuff or cynical/crowd-pleasing enough to lean on the old stuff. This means the set just wasn’t great. He played what felt like a random 10 songs, 6 of which were mostly not his hits nor his new stuff, 7 of which were just over taped backing tracks, and with 1/3 of the time on stage was what felt like improv poetry slamming, which was boring. He faked out an encore (said there were “2, maybe 3 songs left” and then didn’t play a 3rd song), and never played “Typical Story”. I’m giving 3 stars instead of 2 because for peach scone he pulled up an audience member to play guitar which was *awesome* and very memorable and fun. That freewheeling audience involvement was a glint of what a fun hobo Johnson concert could be.

Amazing show. Frank is so down to earth and puts on a great performance. I was surprised to see him solo (I'm behind lol). However, this is my 4th show (fiance's 2nd) seeing Hobo and I go whenever he is on the east coast and will continue. My favorite artist since 2018. I shared his music with my now fiancé on our first date and then with our kids and now we are one big hobo family. Much love!

Venue was incredible. Line as long as it was moved very quickly. Loved how much room was available inside and the bartenders were also amazing! Don’t know her name but the 30 year old something blonde took very good care of me! Franklin Jonas invited me the reserved area and definitely changed my night for the better! Last but definitely not even close to least LOVED HOBO JOHNSON!!!!!! What an incredible night I’ll never forget!!

It was my 12 year old daughters first concert. She was over the moon. The venue is so small it feels as though each person got to have a private little one on one with the performers. Sewer Rat was amazing as well, he was so attentive to his fans, and made my daughter feel super special. 10/10 all the way around. We will be coming back for sure.

Great show! This is my second show of his that I've seen. He's a very charismatic yet relatable performer. He's a naturally funny dude with lots of talent and some deep sadness to work though. One part that I thought was hilarious is that he was trying to hype up the crowd by talking about Luca and the Mavs... But he was talking to a crowd of Hobo Johnson fans. Nobody in the whole venue knew anything about sports, so it got absolutely zero reaction. He said something like "I am in Dallas right??" He was. We just don't know about basketball.

AMAZING SHOW! Opening with Elliot Lee, the concert was high energy and fun. Definitely wish there was more AC in the building because I know everyone in the crowd was very hot. Hobo & Elliot were both super down to Earth and interacted with fans. Loved it & can’t wait to see them both again 🩷

Frank absolutely killed it. His energy is contagious and brought so much to this show that you don’t get from most other artists. He was interactive and played every song we wanted to hear and then some. Definitely wouldn’t pass up another time to play on stage with you. Keep killin it Hobo Johnson.

Fantastic show! Bonelang was awesome to open the show! Hobo Johnson came out with high energy and got the crowd jumping. It was so much fun. The crowd was singing along. People were moving and dancing. He invited musicians from the crowd on stage! The venue was beautiful and spacious for a small venue. I wish I could give my experience 10 stars! Amazing show!

the performances were amazing! but they left us waiting outside in the cold windy dark rain on the streets for an hour after they said doors would open. the main artist was amazing but performed for about as long as each opener did and i was expecting more. i got an amazing view and i had a blast, but the overall experience could’ve been so much better for everyone.

I'm sorry I can't look you in the eye, I'm at Jordans house. Hey keeps it 70 to 72. The predatory phase of human development has got me down, but I buy lottery tickets and watch the pigs being born outside. Anton keeps trying to kiss my sensitive lips. You know, the usually 3 easy payments with a bowl of David hasselhoph eating your mom's sandwiches. I love you and you and you and you and you. I just wish you take that 3% chance and travel the world spreading your medicine. I could use some medicine back here in Nashville. The world really is that bad and the chemicals and depression is definitely a life sentence, but sometimes a little music breaks that witches spell and brings the takes that feeling away. The government is not great, but I'd buy your soap. So come and sell it Frank. Sell me your god damn soap and your 4 banger Subaru hatchback goddamnit. I'm tired of O Charles. I want some friggin ruby Tuesday's and Fridays action. I'll laugh at your shoe kills the cockroach joke I swear. Just be an artist with certain special something, even though it makes us sad. You've at least made a million dollars. Spot that older plump chicken and say "hey, what's up". You're rap games house and fat Joe all rolled into one. P.S. my scary monster made enchiladas not pudding and I was the dad. It was super fucking frightening. Phen in Nashville

Even though the doors opened at 7, the supporting act wasn’t on until 8. I nearly fainted and had to pay £2.50 for a bottle of water. Frank finished just after 10 instead of 11 like it said on the website, and didn’t play typical story which was kinda sad man. :( other than that the actual show was amazing!! Gets a 4/5 star rating cos banana man was kinda vibing 😳

this was not my first time seeing frank, and he definitely switched it up from the last time I saw him! it was such an engaging show, and he came to the barrier to hug us and it was so much fun! he came out to meet us after the show too :))

The bass was excessive, to the point that I couldn't hear anything else when it was going. Excessive geographic pandering, while also repeatedly insulting the entire room of people who paid to see him. Didn't play Typical Story. Crowd was cringey. All in all an okay show, but I like Hobo less now than I did before.

Surprisingly musical.for a guy who basically screams most of lyrics. No way his voice lasts. Lots of energy. Funny guy and fun concert. My only problem was with the Van Burien. I've been to 4 shows with no problems until this Show. I'm a 50 year old man who has a disability which impacts my walking. As I was walking in I was stop by security who asked to see my id. When I asked why he said his manger wanted to check if I was impaired. I explained my condition. He never apologised just told me I couldn't get a wrist band need to buy drinks. I was not planning to but the guy had no right to discriminate against people with disabilities. He's not a doctor m

The energy was through the roofs with the crowd and the band. Having Oliver Tree as an opener?? LIKE MY DUDE SKEETED IN ON A SCOOTER!! THAT SHIT WAS DUMB HYPE! My toes went numb from the blizzard conditions while wearing converses but it was worth every moment of pain jumping on them during that encore ♡♡♡ PLEASE COME BACK TO BROOKLYN FRANK AHHH~~

Amazing show! Frank was such an energetic performer and never failed to make the audience sing along. Wonderful artist. P.s. - I started crying before I met him, he picked me up, hugged me, and talked to me til I stopped. Nicest artist I’ve ever met in my life.

This was my first concert and definitely wont be my last I sure as hell don't regret it being hobo johnson it was nothing less than an outstanding show and truly incredible I loved the way he included the audience as much as he could and his vocals are amazing I love him and each of his band members.

It was fucking amazing like always.He played a lot of new song and I’m fuckin stoked for the new album next year! They band all together are the sweetest and took pictures with everyone. It was great. They only the only problem was the vip situation got fucked up but it turned out fine in the end🤷🏻‍♀️

Traveled from Porterville, CA to see home and the lovemakers again! 13 hour drive well worth it! As always it was an amazing show. If there’s a show near you, you should go! They have an amazing performance and has motivated me to follow their shows near me ❤️ Their San Luis obisbo show was awesome too! Now tonight I’m going to see them in Sacramento! One of my favorite bands! And the only one I follow💜 I highly recommend their shows you will not be disappointed 🤟🏻

It was a total blast. Venue was small but it seemed perfect for Franks personality. The show was funny and quirky just like I expected it to be. The set had its flaws but its his first tour in a coat closet of a venue so it was forgivable. My only problem was I wish the set was longer. It couldn’t be longer though because he practically played every song he has come out with😂
