Hiss Golden Messenger

MC is a powerhouse voice and guitar. I missed some of the instrumentation in his recordings. But all in all a very satisfying night of good music from an accomplished singer songwriter.

Amazing voice!! Such a great personality!

Awesome intimate venue where we really got to interact with the band. Hiss Golden Messenger were fantastic to watch; truly an amazing show!!

Went both nights and Hiss was amazing!

I took my girlfriend out to see this band off of a couple of songs I had been hearing on playlists while driving across the US. We were blown away by the quality and overall vibe of the band. It was such a great show and performance. We had no idea we were going to dance as hard as we did. Thoroughly impressed and we are both now big fans of Hiss Golden Messenger. Don’t sleep on this band live and their music. It is good vibes all around!

This was an excellent concert! The band sounded really great and the vibe of the crowd was perfect. Special guest Teddy Thompson was a treat to listen to. All around great night.

I enjoyed every minute of this show.

MC Taylor was great. The venue wasn’t the best for an acoustic show- too much noise from the bar area and people talking. 5 stars for MC - 3 stars for Sweetwater.

Sounded awesome! Wish we had a bigger crowd for them, but they put on a great show anyhow.

Amazing performance and a good crowd. We got more songs than any other stop on the tour - they clearly liked the atmosphere.

Band was energetic and engaged. Sound and arrangements made songs a bit muddled and flat.

Great show. Thanks to all the teachers out there!

Loved the show and loved meeting them after!!

Such good energy vibrates from the whole band.

Very soulful and great interaction with the crowd. Would’ve liked them to open it up a bit more in some songs and take some more risks, musically that is.

started 90 minutes late, but WOW they put on an amazing show

Very good but WAY too short.

I drove up from Lynchburg to see the show and I am so glad I made the trip. Great venue, good crowd (except for the drunk guy standing behind me singing every lyric, off key, one line ahead of Mike...we get it dude, you know all the songs and we are impressed). Great tunes, good vibes. Can't wait to see them play again.

Hiss Golden Messenger brought a lot of widescreen shimmer for most of last night's show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. With a crack band featuring Phil Cook on keys and guitar, Ryan Gustafson (of The Dead Tongues) on guitar, banjo and mandolin, Scott Hirsch on bass, and Darren Jesse on drums, there was no difficulty replicating the textures on any of the songs they played. Things got a little more down and dirty near the end with a towering version of Southern Grammar (Josh Kaufman adding extra guitar) and an amazing encore of the Grateful Dead's Brown Eyed Women and Brother Do You Know The Road? Tift Merritt opened the show, commanding the stage with her gorgeous voice, well-crafted songs, and skillful but gutsy guitar and piano playing. She was assisted at times by Phil Cook and returned the favor during HGM's set, singing backup on most songs and sitting in on keys. It was that kind of night - generous and heartfelt. They still have more dates ahead. I'd get there if they come near you!

my wife and I were reminded what live music should and can be. an incredible show from hiss golden messenger.
