Lincoln Hall

Outstanding show! Akriila is a rising star. She has a beautiful voice and a sincere message in her words. Her music is powerfully mesmerizing yet also kind and gentle in her own unique way. It was a memorable performance from the beginning and I’m so fortunate to have attended her Chicago concert. Akriila’s songs are very inspiring and will continue to be a beautiful soundtrack for the summer and a bright light for our future.

CHICAGO - “I don’t do encores.” whispers a soft, very British tone. “Two songs left and I’ll see you in a few years, alright? This song is called ‘Get Back.’” A few acoustic strums, and we’re off into a racing yet somber tune about a wilting relationship and an imminent heartbreak. All the way from London, Samm Henshaw stopped at Lincoln Hall in Chicago on tour for his latest album, It Could Be Worse. If post-concert depression hasn’t hit yet, it’s only because the title feels laughably inaccurate. The show was a masterclass in technical musicianship and heart.

It was a great show overall. They sounded amazing, and being right up by the stage made it even better. You could tell a lot of people were really enjoying it too. I was a really disappointed that they did not play my favorite songs, “One Flesh” or “Nostalgia,” especially since I am not sure I will ever get the chance to see them again.

was lucky enough to catch DOGMA SOCIETY last night on a rainy as f**k night in Chicago, walked in never having listened to them before, walked out of Lincoln Hall a huge fan!!! So much f*****g energy, made this old skool punk feel alive. They can go hard and get thrashy or make you want to jump around to the strong guitar and bass riffs. Made for an absolutely perfect night out, will definitely see them again and again and again!!! Go give these boys your hard earned money, worth it in spades.

I’ve seen Rachel Platten in a couple times in the past, but I’ve never seen her at the Lincoln Hall before, but she really put on an amazing concert! I love her music and she can connect with her fans on stage! I was super close to the stage and had so much fun dancing and singing my heart out to every single song!

Forest Blakk is an incredible artist and overall human. This was my third time seeing him in concert, and i thought this was his best show yet. He brought his A game with his sense of humor, how he related to the audience, and how he worked the stage. Not to mention his beautiful songs and the way only he can tell the story behind each song and sing them with such emotion. He spent time with fans during a VIP before the show and again afterwards. He has vowed to always be the last person to leave a venue so he can meet every single fan!

The show was amazing. I haven't seen M Ward in a while so it was great to have experienced this show. From the venue to the people there it was really quite amazing and has stuck with me since. If you get a chance to see someone you like at Lincoln Hall do it.! Cannot recommend enough, and if you are an M. Ward fan you should see him live as well. The albums are great, but his live shows are truly mesmerizing. This was my fourth or fifth time seeing him, and it was just as good as the first.

barely knew the music and was still one of the best shows i’ve ever been to, super intimate with a bunch of interaction and he led into almost every song with a story or joke, was awesome to see the band just play together + you could tell they were all having fun up there instead of just playing a set

Loved it so much I got nachos after without have s*x!!! Had to pregame that s**t!! But seriously I love seeing these guys and anytime they are in the Midwest I’ll be at the concert. Great price point for the tickets. Making my college experience better by not worrying about the price of the tickets. Great memories were made here.

Ethan was great! The Lincoln Hall venue is intimate. I was not thrilled to see the “full lecture hall mode” setup, in Tasch’s words, but it made for a nice respectful audience. Nobody chattering. The sound was great. After hearing Tasch interview, listening to his body of work and seeing his fun videos, I’ve become an instant fan at age 65. I got to chat with Ethan briefly near the merch table where I purchased socks and bought him a drink. I’ll see him again whenever he comes back to Chicago. I expect next visit will be a much larger venue.

Such an amazing and moving show from such a talented and down-to-earth group. They put their hearts into their music and you could feel it fill the venue. I’m so honored to have been a part of the moment they created. And I can’t wait for the release of their upcoming album ‘Metamorphosis’. I can’t wait to see how far they go! Chicago’s got Mad Love for Infinity Song!

This show felt like the family reunion Sunday after church. Mikes performance w his DJ is unparalleled word can’t describe a mike show w the right crowd. He didn’t even have to do his own lyrics just play the sample , not even the whole beat, and negus would start reciting the lyrics. This might be the pound for pound best concert I’ve ever been to. 10/5

This was our 2nd concert at Lincoln Hall...the first being the other Sierra (Ferrell) last week.... We absolutely loved both shows, and Lincoln Hall is an excellent, very clean and classy venue. The sound system and acoustics are great too. Also, each concert was very easy on the ears---ie-the volume was very tolerable, at least at the two "Americana" oriented shows we saw.... In conclusion, i highly recommend seeing a show there.

I laughed at times, I cried at times. I was left so emotionally vulnerable after Will’s Performance that still, 24 hours later, I haven’t even remotely begun to recover from the sheer rollercoaster of this night. Endless Mike, Matt Pless, and Shayfer James also KILLED IT! Lots of good folk and blues and klezmer music! 9/10 would recommend to a friend and/or colleague.

Loved the show, but it wasn’t perfect. I first bought vip to meet covet, and the email said it was going to start at 6. i got there around 5:50 but they said the vip already happened. i tried to talk to any other staff member but they all directed me back to that same person. aside from that, the bands played great. covet didn’t have their bassist which was kinda disappointing. hikes was my favorite band of the night, they crushed it. just a few things that would have made it great were lacking.

Absolutely awesome show, setlist focused on Panther and In The Passing Light of Day with some favorites from The Perfect Element Pt. 1. Daniel's vocals were fantastic and great to see Johan back in Chicago. A standout moment was Leo taking the solo vocal for "I lost the will...I lost the way...". Absolutely sublime falsetto into a powerful chest voice, it was a jawdropping and unbelievable moment. Can't wait for the new album, love these guys and celebrate the whole discography.

Wish I could give it a gazillion stars 🤩 so happy for the band and especially for Joe; great to see him after his recovery. Haven’t seen them since Coca Cola Roxy! Venue was so intimate and I was a foot away from the stage 😱 it was such a groovy time🧡🍍itching for the new album. I want you to eat me alive 😈

Oh all the amazing things I could say about this Sonreal concert! First off the venue was great. Super small and intimate but you never feel claustrophobic. Met some amazing people, Sonreal has the best fans! He himself was AMAZING live, he sounds just like his records we couldn’t be happier with how the night went! Can’t wait for the next Sonreal concert!!!!!!

I literally met Dallon outside when waiting bc before the show like at 10 AM he came out and saw us there and We had been waiting from 7 AM so he appreciated that a lot. Even tho the way they let you in at the venue was kinda bad because people who got there like 30 mins before the show basically were able to get first row when people who waited outside for hours get back. (I'm the blode haired one :D)

(Long review) Been a fan of SG Lewis for quite some time and I’m happy I got to finally see him live. What an experience! The show was great and I heard a lot of my favorites live. After the show, my sister and I had to get cash from an ATM outside the venue to buy merch. We didn’t get to see the sign that said you can’t re-enter the building without a wristband. Since my sister was under age and didn’t have a wrist band, she had to stay outside while I hurried and purchased merch. While making my purchase, Sam and Tom came up and started greeting everyone. After having a conversation with both of them, we took some photos and they signed my shirt. Then they were so kind enough to send my sister, who was stuck outside, a nice message. That meant more than anything. Thanks again for an amazing show and I will see you all again soon!
