This was the first time that we saw Raul doing a solo act, and we were not disappointed. It was nice to see him in a intimate setting. The song selection was great, playing some new tunes from the new album coming out with the Mavericks. He has such a smooth voice, he is also a very guy when he interacted with audience. If you ever get the chance to see Raul, go for it!

Well, I did not read fine print and found out at the show it was a movie preview of the band and AW was the only band member to play, after the movie for about 30 minutes. That said, overall the documentary is well done and reinforced my desire to see LCC live. But it was a bummer. The venue itself is intimate but poorly laid out for stage viewing. Finally, I paid extra for Stage Premier seating but in the case of this show there was no segmentation for different sections. It was all open which made me feel a little screwed for paying more ….

AEG never disappoints! This was an exceptional evening complemented by the band Sirsy with a powerful female singer and talented electric guitarist as well as guest keyboardist, Adam's cousin. Let's not forget a gospel duet Adam and his mother sang beautifully. City Winery is a perfect venue for such a show. Adam always makes you feel like he invited you into his living room for a chat. AEG always gives a heartfelt concert!

Great band. So fun. Great set list. Second time I've seen them this year. First time was at The Cabot in Beverly, MA. Was three seats from the stage. Not sure how it would have been farther away, but was truly awesome from there. Will say that City Winery really really really packs everyone in. Once you sit you can't move. You can't even really shift how you are sitting. So curious if it's ok with the fire marshall believe it or not. Would love to see them come to Infinity Hall in Hartford. Will keep seeing them when they are around!

My wife and I have been Aztec Two-Step fans for 50 years. While they put on a good show without Neil they are not the same. Rex’s age is showing on stage and I think it may be time to retire. Given that there was only 20 of us in the audience I think the time has come. On a positive note it was our first time at City Winery and we enjoyed the experience and will be back.

Rhett was engaging as always and “didn’t check the clock”. In true Rhett fashion he played until his clothes were soaked in sweat and the crowd still wanted more. City Winery is a great venue for an intimate concert. The staff was fantastic, both in the room and at the bar. They have a nice menu with something for everyone.

Jackopierce sounded as great as ever. Played all the hits (except Train), read some letters, and played some new tunes will be included in the overall catalog. The City Winery vibe is a little too much 'cafe.' I'm an offender - ordering charcuterie. So, I tried to sing along to subdue the sound of forks on plates. May have offended more that way. Wanted to push the tables aside and really groove into it.

Great show! Riopy was very entertaining musically as well as being very intriguing personally. Such a beautiful composer and skillful pianist. And his difficult life story, shared between pieces, made the music even more poignant. We listen to him at home and was pleased to hear some familiar pieces mixed with new compositions and experimental techniques. We hope he keeps Boston City Winery on his concert tour schedule in future!

The show was excellent, as it always is for Kay Hanley. A very personal/intimate/“real” show. Service at the venue was pretty good, but food quality was a total let down. It felt as if the business put all the effort into the facility and winery atmosphere but forgot they needed to also put effort into food quality. I could have gotten a better chicken sandwich at a fast food restaurant.

An entertaining enough evening but a bit of a letdown. An issue with the venue was their insistence on using their app to order and pay for food and beverages, but it was very glitchy (e.g. disparate people ending up on the same tab, the need to re-enter your info multiple times to successfully order, and servers unable to find out who ordered what). The opening act was The Loyal Seas who had a number of technical issues, though some of that didn't seem to be completely their fault (having to enlist a last-minute replacement on bass due to some family matters that almost prevented them from performing). Their music is pleasant enough, but also fairly low-key, so it was more relaxing than energizing. It was great to hear Kay Hanley and her band play (most of) her album Cherry Marmalade (excluding one song that, unfortunately, is one of the best on the album in my opinion, so it was a bit of a disappointment not to hear that one). After a run-through of the album, there was a short set of some of her other solo work. The stories behind the making of the album and some of the other songs in the set were interesting, emotional and entertaining. Since they were both local bands, there were a number of people intimately familiar with the band who had no qualms about conversing with the band (and vice-versa in some instances). We get that you have a history, but it got to the point where it was exclusive to those who just wanted to enjoy the performance. Perhaps an official meet and greet would have prevented those detours.

Sonny and Cindy shared that this was the first show of their tour and was therefore a rehearsal. Unfortunately it felt that way. Sonny is a phenomenal guitarist and Cindy Cashdollar is probably a great musician as well, but her sound was never right. Too quiet, or too loud, with painful pops coming off one of her guitars. The show was shorter than I would have liked. City Winery was a decent space, but I have to blame them for not being well prepared to host these two. There were also some struggles with the opener as well.

Grace Kelly -- along with three talented musicians inside a relaxing and comfortable venue -- was a fulfilling experience in every way. I do not recall hearing a musician whose playing evoked such a range of emotions and connections. From playing Monk to playing originals, the only question I kept asking was, "How is this powerful artist not playing at Madison Square Garden tonight?" Then I checked myself and thought, "Thank god she's here at City Winery instead!" Write it down: Grace Kelly. City Winery. Great food.

The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is one of America's most underappreciated and under-recognized bands. All five members are very talented musicians, singers and songwriters. And they have a great rhythm section. They played more of their hard rocking songs than the softer acoustic material. They also did a number of new songs I hadn't heard before. They were very high energy, and perhaps a bit louder than I would have liked, but the energy was palpable, and the audience seemed to like that. They shift from serious to funny songs without missing a beat. They obviously love playing for an audience, and the enthusiasm is infectious. Several band members came out to the audience after the show. I talked with Chris Merenda who seems like a very nice guy. I think they are very down to earth and I was very glad I went to the concert and helped support them. They had family and friends in the audience. It was that kind of night.

Everyone I knew who attended, whether they'd seen Sondre Lerche perform before or not, were stunned by his talent, his warmth, his openness, his songs that they, too, like me, come to LIVE with. I'm already hearing from others prior to their seeing his performance at Joe's Pub in NYC and who have been immersing themselves in his recordings. I wish I could be everywhere Sondre Lerche is scheduled to be.

I went to City Wintery Boston for the first time. It was a great venue. The setting was smaller and more intimate. Gavin Degraw is my favorite male artist and I've seen him a half dozen times within New England over the past 5 or 6 years. I'll definitely be seeing him again and again. He and his band are so incredibly talented. They are all so friendly and down to earth. It was such a special treat to get to hear him share his new album that has not yet been released. It was a night I'll never forget.

The show was amazing. Zo Ferguson as band lead was super engaging and funny, interacting with the cried, and Deborah Bond as the lead vocalist was dynamic. It was a great balance of classic hits and contemporary songs from the recent project, Abstractions. The food was good, drinks were strong, and the ambience in the venue is beautiful. A definitely plan to come back, despite the 2+ hour ride from Connecticut!

One of the best I’ve been to recently!! Been waiting to hear her at City Winery for almost 2 years since the gig was originally announced (rescheduled due to Covid), but it was worth the wait. Sue is right up there with Samantha Fish, Ana Popovic, Emily Remler, Susan Tedeschi, Nancy Wilson and Bonnie Raitt as a singer and guitar slinger. Originally from Canada, she now plays out of Austin, and was a protege of Clifford Antone. She and her excellent band are up for 3 awards at this year’s Memphis Blues Awards. Go see her now if you can; it’s going to get a lot harder to find tickets very soon, she is that good!!

Morgan was amazing! Her voice is flawless. Her range is amazing! She has a natural ease about her performance. Her backing band is fantastic. They were so tight. Doug was doing some amazing funky riffs. They just gelled so well as a whole. The meet and greet itself was lovely. Morgan and Doug were very laid back, relaxed and down to earth. They came out with their pups much to everyone's delight, especially those in the front row who got kisses. She was funny and told us some stories. She sat down on the stage cross legged and pulled the pups on her lap as if we were all just hanging out in her loving room and sang a song for us with Doug accompanying on guitar behind her. Some of the folks she knew by name and chatted amiably with them. Overall, very pleased with the meet n greet. So glad we did it, added to the evening and made it a little more special. Bought her new CD last night, my first. Will absolutely look to complete the collection soon. I look foward to seeing her again. Best of luck on the remainder of the tour and travelling with the pups!

They NEVER disappoint. The vocals and music are out of this world amazing. You won’t find a group of nicer guys in the music business. Super humble and always kind. They played their old music, the current single, and two new songs from the upcoming album, it was fabulous. If you want to follow true talent, look no further than BBMak. They are going to bring real music back to the pop scene.
