Florida Theatre

Amy Grant is a great example of a Christian woman. She knocked it out of the park yesterday when she performed at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville, Florida. I loved every minute of her performance. She didn’t disappoint ! I have been a fan of hers since she started playing songs and writing music back in the 1980’s. I love, love, love Amy!

This show was an absolute blast! Joey and AJ engaged the crowd throughout the entire show, and it was awesome to see both of them shine individually and see their talent that way. We got to hear all our favorites and then a ton of fun covers to boot. I didn’t sit in my seat once.

Gino has an impeccable voice and sings with depth. He has an unbelievable range and can hit high octaves. He does it all: a composer, musician, vocalist, and overall showman. I haven’t seen an artist to be able to do this ever and I’ve seen many since the 70’s. . He raises the bar along with his outstanding band and no other musical group can compete. He puts so much energy into his show by conducting his other musicians along with many smooth dance moves. Seeing Gino is truly an inspiration.

Frankie Viele, never heard of him before last night. Took my girl to see John Waite. Not a big deal to me. Frankie Friggin Viele, on the other hand. Was like a cross between Cat Steven's and Bob Seger. Catchy hooks and grooved his ass off. Give this guy a drummer and a lead guitarist and he can make some waves! Nice Goin Frankie! 👍

She rocked the house! Terri still has all the charm, charisma, and sass that we all fell in love with originally. She belts it out with no vocal strain easily hitting all the high notes and embracing the growls in her music. It’s been 23 years since I’ve seen her in concert and at one point I just sat there on the 3rd row just beaming proudly, watching her sing to what looked like a dang near sold out venue. I couldn’t sing along even if I tried; I was too busy holding in my tears as it dawned on me that I was truly seeing her in the flesh again and not just singing to my steering wheel. If I could afford it I would be her groupie/hype man and follow her town to town. She is a must see in person dynamo! And gorgeous on top of it all! ❤️

The artists were fantastic. The seating at the Florida Theater was a little cramped for my hubby with long legs. And unfortunately, when folk in front of you get up and dance, you don't get to see the show, but you can hear it. I hope I can find a DVD of their New York PBS performance so I can enjoy it again at home...

I have been a Heart fan for as long as they have been making music. Ann still has the vocals to sing fantastically! I appreciate the face that she is still touring and I hope HEART gets back together for one more tour. I have seen them 7 times and LOVE them. Ann was fantastic!!!

Ignore the tag - we saw Tull at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY on 11/2. It's a hard show to review, thus the three stars despite the fact that we did enjoy it. The band sounded great - the players were all excellent, Ian Anderson's flute is as good as ever, and the mix was spot-on. The first "complaint" is that they went deep, and I mean deep, into obscure tracks. Some I knew and enjoyed (they opened the show with With You There To Help Me and ended the first of two sets with Bouree), but some I'd never heard before. That said, I did enjoy almost all the unknown-to-me songs. If they had played just a couple more recognizable songs (and not necessarily hits - anything off Songs from The Wood or one of the deeper cuts off Aqualung) I'd have been happier. The second complaint, and I knew to expect it, was Anderson's present-day singing style. Just SO over-affected - even more than I recall from seeing Tull 3x in the 90s, it was a distraction from the superb playing. I leaned into my brother at one point and mentioned that if the entire show was instrumental I'd have enjoyed it more. Still, I enjoyed the show. I won't see them again, but I am happy I got to see them one more time.

Absolutely love her voice, she's a great singer/songwriter! Immediately bought her album after her part of the show was over (she opened for Ryan Adams & the Cardinals...another fantastic show!). Her voice is "old school country" to me and her music is catchy and emotive, well-written. I'm hoping she makes it as big as she would like to! The audience at the Florida Theater really loved her as well, which isn't always the case for opening acts- but Ryan Adams knew what he was doing when he invited her along!

Everything about this event was wonderful. Apparently he was savvy enough to play songs that most of us knew. Too many times, aging Rockstars tend to want to try and introduce new material when that's not what we came for . The whole venue was beautiful and the acoustics for even better.

This was an outstanding night! The venue is the best and the sound quality is amazing! Kenny played all the hits and had everyone not wanting the night to end since this is his farewell tour. He is very talented and sounds great! A must see before its too late. We drove from North Alabama to see him and then after the concert booked tickets to see him again in Franklin, Tennessee. We just did not get enough. lol I highly recommend the Florida Theatre and the top notch acts they book. Box office, staff and concessions are all the best of any venue I have visited. Hannah and Wendy are awesome!

I have seen Kenny Loggins perform many times over the past several decades. The show last night at the Florida theater was by far the best performance ever. I loved that he picked hits & other deep track songs not usually played. His band members were the best of the best & back up vocals a perfect complement to Kenny’s voice & style. He started the show rocking it out with his band performing Keep the Fire. It has been many years of concerts I have attended since he performed Keep the Fire & sang it as his opening. Ending with his signature encore “Forever” that always brings tears to my eyes was the perfect ending to one of the greatest nights of my life. My husband & I also bought tickets to see him on his extended tour in Alpharetta GA. & I can’t wait. Kenny never looked or sounded better than he did last night! Love you Kenny

I'm a forever Andy Grammer fan. I will see him live any chance I get. He brings boundless energy and joy to his shows and I always leave his shows feeling happy and who wouldn't want that. He's a great performer and shows his musical chops through his singing and playing various instruments. There aren't many artists that I have on my "permanent concert list," but he's officially one of them. I had a blast dancing with the rest of the crowd, hearing his spoken word pieces, and feeling his songs resonate with me. The world needs more Andy Grammer. We'd all be better for it.

My daughter is a big fan after seeing them often in Gainesville. This was the first time I saw them. Apparently it was a special night for Flipturn since they are from the Jacksonville area and it was the first time they played the Florida Theatre. They were terrific. The songs were great, even the new ones. They were jumping all over the stage really enjoying themselves. Very talented and a joy to watch. Highly recommend.

Very new, vibrant and fresh. Couldn't have enjoyed it more unless Chris had played more. A bit too much of the extras. Make duets that feature is band to allow more time for Chris or feature them in smaller segments in his solos...etc. his "new find" Tracy? that closed the show. Simply WOW!!!!!! Keep Chris in the forefront.

Great music, tons of fun. Awesome play list, and it was great to see such a talented musician and singer. One of the best concerts we've seen in the last few years. Great venue, too. Not too big, pretty intimate for a decent sized venue. Acoustics were good, too.

Great show. Love seeing great bands @ the Florida Theatre. John 5 killed it then Queensryche came on & kick it into full gear with a killer set. That was the last live gig I saw & I couldn’t ask for a better last concert. John 5 & the Ryche. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

The band did really well and the lighting effects were super intricate, I was impressed. Everything was a bit too loud and my ears felt it the following day even though I was really far away in the theater. The vocals were hard to hear as well and the lighting did get a bit too intense in some parts. Overall, a solid show but a tad too intense.

Boney James concert was Fantastic !! He played some old and new. I’m a big fan and this was my first time seeing him. I was impressed with the quality of the music, sounds like the recordings. At the end of the concert he autograph CD’s and took Pictures with Fans. Great evening!!

I’ve always wanted to see The Blaster since before I was a teenager. Phil still sounds amazing and Dave killed it on guitar. We were blown away. Junior Brown and Reverend Horton Heat, with Big Sandie, you guys have some new fans. We will be back for the Hay Ride next year for sure.
