Barrymore Theatre

ARTIST This was my first time seeing Jesse Cook live, therefore I didn't know what to expect. Jesse and the band far exceeded my expectations. Of course Jesse was incredible, but I have just as much musical respect for the drummer! The second song, La Rumba D'el Jefe, was a solo effort...I feel that (in recorded versions) the strings and percussion GREATLY add to this piece and although I still loved it, something was missing. Also, I would have liked to hear Bogota By Bus. Otherwise, the show was phenomenal and I brought two friends to the concert who were not fans a few days ago, but they certainly are now. Thank you Thank you Thank you! VENUE I love the Barrymore. I wish I could see all of my favorite bands in an intimate setting like this. I know the building is old, but thank you for keep on keepin' on. It's nice the be able to sit during a show. It's nice to have cup holders. It doesn't smell old and unkept. The staff is super friendly. There are no bad seats. Tickets are actually affordable. The acoustics are good. Long live the Barrymore!!

Always a great show. Was not a fan of the opening band, but GS was what we expected and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Brian is one of the most spectacular, talented musicians I have ever had the privilege to see in person. His talent is equaled by his energy, and his band is fantastic. This show did not disappoint!

Amazing show!! Absolutely phenomenal!! Brian, Rishon, Showcase, Eddie, Chris, patches, Ronnie, and Walter killed it! Do not miss them on the trilogy tour! Thanks for coming to Madison!!

We had a great time! We laughed so hard. We have watched all of your TV specials and enjoyed you live in person even better than those. We didn’t know that there would be two other comedians coming on prior to you and they were just as funny as well. Sometimes when there’s beginning acts you just kind of want to get through them to get to the main act, but that wasn’t the case with your show you guys all are fabulous. We left there thinking we are so glad that we already bought tickets to see you again in Green Bay next May before we even got to see you in Madison. We hate carol!

Wow, this was one of the most amazing concerts we have ever attended! To be honest, we hadn't heard of her until Anthony Mason interviewed her for 'CBS Mornings.' I was impressed with her musicianship and perseverance. Thankfully, I checked to see if she was performing locally and found her coming to Madison, WI in just a matter of 4 days. We immediately made reservations and were thrilled to have been part of her Madison premier. We look forward to her coming back to Madison in the future.

Loved every moment of the show. This band is filled with amazing talent supported by a great message. Can’t wait for them to come back to Wisconsin.

The best part was the disdain for, and scolding of the crowd. While some was for sure deserved he probably could have stopped short of saying "I hate this fucking show". Overall decent one man show.

The show and his talent was in rare form. Playing through a phenomenal set from Whiskeytown days to the present. “Romeo and Juliet” was ultra special with his commentary that the song or further songs may have to come with “conceal and carry” warnings. Went into the aisle to sing; “Lovesick Blues”- pure awesomeness. Ryan’s passion for his music and performing for people like me for which it has such a deep meaning and influence on my life - was marred by several incidents of disrespectful reattributes who never should have taken a seat at the show in the first place! Ryan thanks for your spoken tolerance! Legendary music night! See you in Milwaukee this summer. Signed: Pandora’s Box

Great show! Wish Hulvey would have played more! Thanks for putting on this free show! Shame on you if you missed it!

The most enduring and original American fingerstylist he leads the listener across the infinite and the intimate. Always supremely satisfying Leo Kottke is both badass guitarist and smart-assed National Treasure. Were he a native of the United Kingdom we would address this master as Sir Leo Kottke. I’ll just call him my own personal acoustic-Jesus. If I have to tell you any more you wouldn’t understand. Go see. Pay tribute.

Colin Hay was great! It was a really fun show. He was very amiable and talked frequently to the audience, interacting with people. It was a good crowd and he had great energy. I'd go see him again for sure.

Great show, 2 hours, no breaks or encore. Great venue and energy by both the band and the crowd. A bit too much noodling, long solos to fill time, my only complaint.

AMAZING!! He really is amazing super talented and really interacted with the crowd. Definately not going to be the last time I see him. So lets hope he continues to go on tour!

Incredible. Incredible. Incredible. All the stars aligned for the most unfathomably amazing night. The guys were insane. The crowd was all in. The music..... it was Gavin. What can I say? 24 hours later, I'm still riding this high. And I want to say... he gave a shout out to a 9 year old at the show. I looked around and there were so many age groups. It really impressed me that there were children, college kids, adults, grandparents.... there was something for every generation and they were all enjoying it together. I can't think of many performers that can captivate so many age demographics like that. But again, it's Gavin. Simply phenomenal.

when the artist plays an awesome 90 min set and then sits on the stage and signs autographs and takes pictures with everyone who stayed after...that earns a 5 star review in my book! He was amazing!!

Colin Hay was great! It was a really fun show. He was very amiable and talked frequently to the audience, interacting with people. It was a good crowd and he had great energy. I'd go see him again for sure.

These guys are great! I took my wife to the concert and she loved them too. We had a good time and can't wait for the Mavericks to come back into the area soon. Maybe to a casino.

Different vibe from other Mavericks shows I’ve been to…not sure if the “assigned seating” may have had something to do with it as it would. Have been difficult to stand/dance if you chose to enjoy the show that way….and more often than not with the Mavericks most want to do the latter. Overall an excellent show again, I’m never disappointed see these guys play together

Blew past all of my expectations! So happy to say that even after all these years they still got it!!
