It was quite a magical evening listening to Julian and Margaret at 4th Presbyterian
Beautiful space, beautiful people, beautiful set, beautiful music.
Let me just say, as a life long Chicagoan, I have never become accustomed to our cold! I missed the first concert I was aware of at Thalia Hall and deeply regretted it. When the Riviera concert happened, I decided that NOTHING would keep me from The JohnnySwim experience again. Not a pandemic and not freezing cold kept me away this time either. Fourth Presbyterian is known for it’s incredible acoustics and it’s gorgeous beauty. Combined with Amanda & Abber, it was an evening full of joy, laughter, spirit, and geand music. Thank you!!!! Hurry back to Chi!!! Consider the Windy City Smokeout or come back to Northerly!!! We love you!!!!
I love Snow Patrol, even though this was an acoustic show with only two band members (Gary and Nathan) and Iain Archer. The music was wonderful, Gary’s voice was the best I’ve ever heard it (this was my third live concert) and I love his banter, and Nathan moves around the stage like he’s enjoying himself. The venue, a very large and beautiful old church, was interesting! I drove several hundred miles to Chicago to see this concert as SP is my favorite group and will do it again whenever they come back to the US. I’ll be a fan forever.
So happy that I was finally able to see this band that I've loved forever. And in a wonderful venue, at that. Very personable performance with lots of audience engagement, but I was rather disappointed that lyrics were forgotten a number of times (in 2-3 songs, in fact). It definitely interrupts the flow of the experience when your front man stops singing mid performance because he forgot a line in his own song. Also, a few choruses were left for the audience to sing by themselves. Like I said, great audience involvement, but I'd rather sing *with* my favorite band than alone while they listened. Still a great experience, but not entirely what I was expecting.
Amazing venue. Great show!
Gary has such a mesmerizing voice… thank you for a memorable night
Amazing. An outright prodigy. Stunning.
This was maybe the most magical talent filled show I have ever had the great pleasure and blessing to see. What a treasure. Madison Cunningham is really something else. And Andrew is obviously an amazing talent too.
