The Bygones

Let me start by saying I LOVE Josh and Allison!! I have been watching them on Youtube for a few years and thoroughly enjoy their collaborations. I was looking very forward to seeing them live. I post this experience in the hopes they see it, learn from it and use it to improve future performances. 1) When I purchased tickets 6 months ago, there was only a single type of ticket offered - standing. When I arrived at the venue there was seating that had been sold somewhere - all of the seats were in front of me. I would have liked to have had the option to purchase seats. 2) I have watched A LOT of Josh's videos (and saw him perform live 1 other time with Carson, Reina & Toni - which was otherworldly AWESOME!) - he appears to be very particular with the other artists he works with in his videos as well as very on top of all the details. I am sorry to say the opening act at this show was considerably underwhelming - not bad, but not close to "Josh level". She was hard to listen to for the almost 1 hour that she played. The audience gave her a couple of cues that it was time to finish which she completely misread and continued playing. 3) I most came to hear Josh and Allison sing. The volume of the instruments imo were too loud and during much of the show overpowered Josh and Allison's voices. That all said, I will finish as I started - I still love Josh and Allison and support their music and growth.

Superior musicians! Just voices, guitars, and one ukulele. No studio trickery--just pure, wonderful vintage and new material. My highest recommendation!

This was an outstanding concert! Josh and Alison are amazing musical talents, and their voices and instrumental work mesh beautifully. They played for almost 2.5 hours, with a short intermission, with just the right amount of talking to the audience. Most of the songs they played were their own, and each one was great. The venue was outstanding as well - intimate with terrific audio and sightlines. It was a perfect evening!

A really talented band in a intimate setting.

The Bur Oak was a good, intimate venue. The real stars were obviously The Bygones. as good as their you tube videos are, they pale in comparison to seeing them live. The music was awesome, they were comfortable chatting with the audience, and we will go see them again in a heartbeat the next time they play in the area.

Outstanding performance! Nice mix of old favorites with new material from their just released album. Be prepared to stand at Martyrs' which has about 20 stools for a ~300 capacity room.

Fantastic show - great to see these artists at the beginning of a great career together - their appreciation of the crowd, coupled with their immense talent made it a very memorable experience!!! Can’t wait to see them again!

Great venue and even a better performance by The Bygones!
