Not sure why it won’t show a full 5-star rating. But it was great to see and hear David Cook and band in person again! Always a delight. The music was great and David engaging as usual. Entertaining performance. The MIM has such great acoustics and love the more intimate venue. It’s been 5 years since David last played at the MIM (pre-covid) so it’s been a long time coming. So happy to see this partnership continue. David Cook and the MIM! See you next time!
Mike is so talented, he's inspiring a new crop of acoustic guitar players, his shows are fun, and he's a great story teller. Mike is a really nice guy, very down to earth and happy to sign autographs & take photos.
MIM is a beautiful venue, just the right size, easy to get to, easy to park, prices are very reasonable.
*** Six Stars if I could! ***
This is an amazing venue and Molly and her band certainly rose to the occassion! They are all fantastic musicians and also seemed to be really enjoing themselves. The sound was awesome, as usual, but at times I felt that the instrument mix overpowered the vocals. They did an awesome mix of ...eclectic songs with a bluegrass spin, traditionals, and originals. The harmonies were spectacular and the picking was phenomenal. Molly came out front for a few songs and told a charming story about her first guitar.
I am super-excited and now I feel very priviliged to be going to see her again! Truly a VSP delivered with a ton of heart by a master songstress and player.
AHHHHHHHHHH Hunter Hayes was absolute AMAZING!!!! The best concert I've ever been too!!!!! He is literally so talented! He performed all the music live and created it right in front of us. He interacted with the audience and was hilarious! It was literally like sitting in a studio session. Hunter Hayes is so incredibly talented and I hope to be able to see him again!!!!
Fantastic shows. They passed around a pen and piece of paper to take in requests at last year show, and did several songs I heard for the first time in the many live shows/streams I attended, based on the suggestions they got. I take credit for "Native America". Great stuff.
This was my first time seeing them in person, and it was an amazing show.! The guys are so talented with their instrument (their voices) and choreography. They also has the audience involved a lot. I would definitely see them again. -Every time they are in town!!!
One of the most incredible concert experiences I’ve ever had. Suzy Bogguss and Kathy Mattea were excellent performers with warm, rich harmonies and poignant lyrics which kept the audience enraptured. I got to sing “ Someday Soon” WITH Suzy (front row seat) and she HEARD ME! ( I was standing up) She LIKED IT! That’s not something you get to do every concert. I loved them both before as performers. After this experience, I love them both as PEOPLE. Don’t miss this spirit lifting duo if you get the chance!
AL was phenomenal as always every time I seen him. The MIM was a very intimate setting with great acoustics and an over all great experience. And being Jersey Italian I had to see my favorite musician of all time. The funny thing is that I was staying in the same hotel as AL's tour manager in Tempe...
We had SUCH a great time at this concert. The entire group was amazing! Still able to bring it after 50 years. I’ve been singing Birdland for the past two days.. The Lewis Family Theater was a super venue. So glad we went
Absolutely amazing!!! ALL of the musicians were incredible. One of the best shows I have ever seen. The venue was the best. Not a bad seat in the house. Morgan's voice gives you chills with how great it is. We can't wait to see her again.
Jon McLaughlin is the real deal - he is. one of the most talented musicians of our time with a flawless voice to back it up. The encore was an experience I didn’t know I was missing. I was hoping for “So Close” but I feel like “Changing” was far better. If you aren’t familiar, look it up on YouTube and you will see what I mean!
I just love everything about last night’s show. I’m now shopping for a piano with hopes to learn some of his songs. ❤️. Can’t wait for his next visit to the MIM!
The theater at MIM is intimate with fantastic acoustics. I’ve been to six of their concerts and as always a great show with great humor. Disappointing that they were not able to bring the campfire & saguaro.
Their last song without microphones on the front of the stage really showed off their harmony & the theater acoustics
Excellent show. The band is a great group of first class musicians. They are extremely versatile in the songs they perform. Looking forward to seeing Carbon Leaf again as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
MIM is a great place to watch a performance.
Such an awesome and entertaining event! Jack Broadbent played a solo set and was incredible throughout the entire show… Played a great mix of his new songs, as well as older tunes and even a couple of great cover songs! If you get a chance to see Jack live, don’t miss it!!
I'd planned on taking my wife Kris after what was hoped to be a successful series of cancer treatments in Atlanta over 3 months. Sadly, they were not successful and she passed early in the morning on the 12th of May. Around midnight that night, when all the friends had left and I was in our home alone, I opened my computer to respond to numerous e-mails and FB messages. There was the reminder. The MIM has been a special place to us (though we live in Tucson almost 2 hours away) and Bruce has been one of our few agreed upon, beloved musicians! I got the ticket.(I somehow feel that my sweetheart had a hand in this!) I went to the concert and it was perfect in every way! He played a number of old, rather obscure songs (Falling Dark, Let Us Go Laughing, Arrows of Light) as well as some more known selections (Wondering Where the Lions Are, Pacing the Cage) and some beautiful new compositions. Always with a story about the circumstances surrounding the writing of a song. It was a very healing night for me and I'll forever be grateful for Bruce's musicianship, poetry and his presence. Plus, I've met him on a number of occasions and he's always been a very gracious man. Thank you Bruce. Your music continues to be a healing force in my life! Blessings.
Such a great show. The MIM was the perfect place to see Ron Pope. His opening act was awesome, and his show was amazing. He is the best singer/songwriter, my absolute favorite, and his acoustic music was perfect in the venue. He is funny and a great storyteller. Worth the 5 hour drive from California to see him. We will definitely be at another show soon!!!!
Matthew Whitaker was phenomenal, his talent and his musical 🎼 skills is just beyond words. He is on the top of our list to follow and see when he comes back to Phoenix, would not dare miss him play. And if you get a chance to see him at the MIM, even better, the acoustics are incredible and the small venue makes for a more intimate setting.
The band was amazing! Brandy’s storytelling fills your heart with memories, pleasure, longing, empowerment and joy! A sweet voice and humble heart she shares with all who enjoy her presence. Such great talent! If you haven’t heard her name, I can assure you have enjoyed her songs. I had been wanting to enjoy her live for years and truly a bucket list item checked off!! ✅ My heart is FULL. :)
Bought tickets as part of Christmas gifts for my family. It was well worth the wait! Paper Wings opened and they were absolutely awesome...great opener choice. Then Avi & his band mates came out and put on a great concert. I have followed Avi with my kiddos since his Pentatonix days and he is a great artist. He has a voice with resounding soul that just resonates to your core. The venue location was perfect as well. The acoustics at Musical Instrument Museum concert hall were absolutely astonishing! All around great concert & we’re all looking forward to seeing Avi again in The Valley. Thank you Paper Wings & Avi Kaplan and band mates for providing us with some wonderful family memories!
One of the best performances I have seen all year and I have seen a lot of performances. His band is fabulous and his voice is so amazing. Thankfully he had time to share some stories with the crowd. One of the best singer songwriters of our time. If you have never seen him you should make it a point to catch him the next time he is in the Valley.
