Ian Maksin

A M A Z I N G !! Looking forward to his next show!!

It was great. will go again whenever Ian will perform.

This is my 2nd time seeing Ian w/ Gabriel. The 1st time was at Open Door a bit over 6 years ago. Bought a CD, loaned it out, it was never returned. But, that show was so AWESOME 5-Stars. Lots of instrumentals. Some duets and a bit of singing. So back to the concert at the Art Gallery Cafe : for me, it was a bit too loud for such a tiny space and only 2 instrumentals, so I was disappointed about that. I bought 2 tickets and only used one, thus not able to afford a CD this time around. I prefer to have a CD that I can play in my old car rather than buying digital and not being able to listen in my car. Anyway, when I arrived, I showed my phone ticket to the ticket person where she hand gestured me to proceed to the seating area. Not a hello, not a welcome, not a thanks for coming. Maybe because I am not a regular or because I did not have a date. I do not know. I felt out-of-place. Anyway, everyone was there in couples or groups (except me). I people watch and everyone was enjoying the show and drinking and even singing along. The show was very nice and if Ian comes back, I hope he comes mid week so I can see him play w/o missing 2-3 hours of work on a weekend and many more instrumentals please. The instrumentals are my favorites!! Though I am only a low income clerk, and I am not Ukrainian, I still support the relief efforts. I love the cello and I love the way Ian plays the cello. I would eagerly see him in concert again. I am so glad I found the app "bandsintown" a few weeks ago. I will now get alerts when he and other musical artists I enjoy will be near by and I can then be able to save up for the next show and hopefully an Ian Maksin CD! ☮️💟 Thank you Ian & Gabriel for sharing your wonderful gifts and talents with us!!
