I went to the Troubadour to see Iyla live! It was my first time there & I had such a fun time! The venue is great. I really liked how there were spaces away from the stage and main floor. I was able to chat with some new friends before heading inside with the crowd.
And I must say, the crowd was amazing! The people were so sweet & had great vibes. The only downside is not being able to step out of the venue unless you’re 21 or older, even if it’s right out the door. But that’s whatever :P
The concert overall was amazing! The opener, Jonny West, was wonderful & Iyla was the BEST! I still can’t believe that after all this time, I finally saw her live.
I will definitely be going to the Troubadour for future events! I love a small space that doesn’t get uncomfortable or humid, even if I’m standing in the middle of the crowd :D
Andy Frasco was really fun and enjoyable. An energetic rock and roll good time.
The surprise of the night, though, was the fabulously talented Lonesome Joy. What a great band! Head of the snake, Stevie Redstone, is a force to be reckoned with. Amazing songwriter, phenomenal vocalist and plays his keyboard like Jerry Lee Lewis on steroids. Totally blew away the unsuspecting crowd and put his stamp on the Troubador as one of those "I was there the night he played the Troubador" experiences.
The set list was comprised of 10 great songs written by Restone, So many standouts it's hard to point to one in particular; Shout about Our Love, Part Time Preacher, Wire, Roll With The Thunder were all so compelling that the crowd was jumping and really grooving to the infectious peformance and sound. The entire band was fin high quality pro's. The guitarists and drummer were so strong this came off as a seasoned band that is about to break big. I LOVED every minute and cannot wait for what's next from this great band!
It was so much fun!! I got to give some bracelets to Solya, and I´m glad I was so close to the stage!! The merch wasn´t too pricey, and Luna Day was an amazing first start to the concert!! It was a bit annoying having to move a bunch so I could see, because these super tall people were in front of me, but that's the only complaint I have, other than that I enjoyed it so much and I´m glad the tickets weren´t too expensive!! <3
Her vocals were amazing a true songstress. I was not let down she was everything I thought and more, I only wish the show was longer but for what it cost we got our monies worth. I'd go see her again , this was my first time seeing her won't be my last. She is one of the best singers out there, bravo Ledisi bravo.
Trisha Yearwood was amazing. as always! She sounded fabulous and looked beautiful. The Troubadour, not so good. We stood outside until 7:30 and then stood inside from 8:30 until almost 10 pm. There was nowhere to move, and the people were wall to wall, crammed in there like sardines. At one point, I had to move and walk and I almost didn't make it to the back of the bar area. The only seating is upstairs and that was saved for Trisha's guests. I would see Trisha anytime, anywhere. But the Troubadour is not an option for me anymore.
To be able to enjoy an hour and a half of Pure Pop for Now People at an intimate venue such as the Troubadour performed by a living legend was a rare occasion. Nick Lowe, with backing band Los Straitjackets tore through a set list encompassing Lowe's almost 50 year career. All of Lowe's eras were showcased: power pop, jangly countrybilly, jazz tinged countrypolitan and his return to rock with the Straitjackets, who performed a surf guitar instrumental set, before Lowe returned for the second half of his set. This was the second show of a two night stand at the Troubadour as Lowe and Los tour the US in support of their recent release Indoor Safari.
Missio delivered a powerful and engaging performance at the legendary Troubadour on February 13th, leaving fans thrilled and satisfied. While the show wasn't a complete sell-out, the energy in the room was palpable, fueled by a dedicated crowd that knew every word. From the opening notes of "Wolves," it was clear that Missio's live show takes their studio recordings to a whole new level. The band's ability to improvise and jam, adding extended drum solos by the talented Joey Castro and showcasing Scott Graham's unique use of a bow on his guitar, created moments of pure musical magic.
The setlist was a well-balanced mix of older favorites and newer tracks, with "Aztec Death Whistle" and "Villain" being particular highlights. These songs, along with the rest of the set, resonated deeply with the enthusiastic audience. The intimate setting of the Troubadour amplified the connection between the band and their fans, creating an atmosphere of shared excitement and joy. It was clear that many in attendance were die-hard Missio fans, singing along and fully immersed in the experience.
One of the most heartwarming moments of the night was seeing a young fan at the front of the stage, experiencing his first concert. Missio's frontman, Matthew, took the time to interact with him, making the night even more special. This small gesture spoke volumes about the band's appreciation for their fans.
Missio's live performance exceeded expectations. The band's stage presence was captivating, and their musical talent was undeniable. From the electrifying energy to the memorable musical moments, this show was a testament to Missio's ability to connect with their audience on a deep level. If you're a fan of their music, seeing them live is an absolute must. You won't be disappointed.
Hamish was freaking awesome, as were all of his supporting players. I also got a chance to meet him after the show, and he's a super nice guy. I must say it was a bit irritated because I think Grace Bowers had to spend more time doing her hair because his hair was so fantastic. 🤣
No, seriously, his hair is almost as good as his guitar playing. And this guitar playing is fabulous.
it was great .. after foot surgery i was afraid I would be standing for hours... luckily i found seating that allowed me to see the whole show unimpeded . West Hollywood and the Troubadour is not an ideal venue. Being a sound engineer the opening acts had terrible mixes but Nico Vega's over all sound was fantastic and allowed me to remove my ear protection. Been a fan for a long time.
Abby was fire at the Troubadour. She sang her new songs and songs going back several years. She was high energy and very interactive with the crowd. She reproduces her sound very well live, and she has a distinctive voice. My only disappointment was she didn't sing "Not in the picture anymore," but she told me after the show she has not recorded that song, and that's why she doesn't have it on the play list. Yes, she stayed after the show for hours to meet everyone hat came to see her! Next level effort by an artist. I would absolutely see her again. I loved the smaller venue, but for her development, I hope next time is in a bigger venue... she deserves it!
The best show I could ever attend to! My plan to get a chance to meet was to see her perform and get picture with her and tell how much I love her. It worked and people said it wouldn’t because I executed it perfectly meaning that I proved them wrong that I could get my chance with her! McKenna is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I’ll never forget that moment I finally met her!
Wonderful end of tour show for this amazing band. One just cannot help but feel uplifted and carefree by their lyrics and music even when the subject matter isn’t. Their earlier albums gave the carefree feel through the use of casual language painting a vacation vibe with dance worthy music accompaniments. The latest album takes the listener on a journey that can be clearly imagined through the evocative lyrics while the music, as with their previous records, spans a range of influences and styles that never fails to keep the listener engaged. A mega talented group.
This was easily one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended, second only to the Renaissance and Age of Pleasure world tours. To those unfamiliar with them, the Boyd siblings may initially seem inaccessible to, but those in the know understand that each member is a uniquely talented powerhouse. And when they come together, the result is greater than the sum of their parts, and we are all the better for it.
I was taken aback by their stage presence and crowd interactions, which created an atmosphere that was simultaneously intimate and larger than life. While it’s been nice having Infinity Song in my pocket as one of the best indie bands you’ve never heard of, if they can continue to replicate the magic we experienced last night, the whole world will know their names.
We saw Livingston last night at the troubadour. What an experience. Old Hollywood memories. The security and staff were friendly and helpful. Livingston himself brought the house down. He is very mature and answered questions at the meet and greet. He is friendly, open and charming. His show was amazing. Definitely my highlight of the year so far. Super talented, I am excited about following his career.
What a great show ! It was interesting people were really mesmerized by the band . People did
Not want to leave when it was over. The were still
Soaking up the vibes . Great rhythm section, double lead guitars, and great vocals from Jesse Sykes. Great dynamics. Go on you tube and watch the live version of “ Tall Grass” from the Troubador show. Really cool .
By far one of the BEST concerts ever! Both of the opening acts were amazing and Hibou was fantastic! It was great to finally get to see him live and was not disappointed at all!!! This venue has always been an amazing place to see concerts - it's so small it feels so personal and close to the artists. Best show!!!
A friend of mine and I flew into LA for the first of three shows that GS were performing. I wish we had stayed for the other two nights! The Troubadour is a great venue to see a show. The bartenders and security were really cool. The cost for drinks was reasonable and the venue is small so not a bad spot to see the show. First set was at an hour ling while the second set was much longer than that. The fellas sounded really really good that night with the first set sounding a tad more country while the second set was more rock-n-roll. I wish I had my wife with me to dance with as it was hard not to move around to the smooth sounds the fellas played for us. No poster for the event but there were some Cassettes for sale along with t-shirts. I Dig this show and look forward to them touring the southwest in 2023.
for one night and only night only. this show was the best concert i have been to, the energy between greta and the crowd was amazing and vice versa everyone was so happy to be there and considering they haven’t done a small venue like this one in a long while, you could tell everyone was so grateful to be there. best show. best group of people. best band.
She without any doubt puts on the best show! Amazing voice and guitar style! She is very down to earth and great with her fans. I go to shows and concerts all the time, I have been for years and Samantha last nite was the best by far! She blew me away! I will catch her show when ever she in town, Love you Samantha!
We had a great time ar this show... although I made a bad call on the upstairs seating... José's push and play on Bill Withers legendary tunes made the whole evening even more fun... and we were ready!
Nate Smith is ALWAYS a triple threat and the entire touring band was FAR beyond par!
This would be my third or fourth time seeing José James live and he NEVER disappoints!
