Brenda Russell Tickets

Miss Russell was very good and such a delight to see live in concert !! VThe backup back was very good and energetic .. I would pat to see Miss Russell live again . She's very , talented, beautiful , and humble . A class act !!

Saw Brenda Russell at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA on my birthday on January 14, 2014. Ms. Russell was absolutely amazing!! Her band was phenomenal. It was one of the best birthdays I have ever had and definitely one of the best concerts I have attended. The Birchmere is a great venue - every seat is a perfect seat. The food was fantastic and I met some very beautiful ladies sitting at the table with my husband and I. Great conversation, great food and most importantly great music and a very beautiful, and classy artist. Definitely a night and concert to remember.

Brenda Russell's performance was simply flawless. She is such an amazing and talented artist..she has mellowed with time. I would go to see her again.

Not everyone knows this marvelous song writer and songstress but she is by far one our greatest performers. She has a sprituality that exudes in her music. Her lyrics are gay and lighthearted while being very though provoking at the same time. I just wish the concert had lasted long enough for us to hear every song she's written and performed. She did not get an opportunity to sing "Ideal World", "Catch On" or "The Message" but if you get a chance, listen and learn.

the show was amazing, my lady and I has a wonderful time

I enjoyed the concert. It was a wonderful evening.

I was and am absolutely STUNNED that a Valentine's Day evening that started out so perfectly with the amazing Jonathan Butler -- for whom the sound was absolutely perfect, mind you -- was so completely and utterly destroyed by HEINOUS sound mixing, reverberating feedback and a couple of eyebrow raising performances (completely NOT sound-related) in the acts that followed. Wow. After an incredible show opening set by the incredible and consistent Mr. Butler, the rest of the evening was completely marred by the afore-mentioned BAD sound. Norman Brown came out with great intentions but the only people that could hear his wondrous guitar virtuosity were the people on the stage via their sound monitors. Either that OR they were simply being 'professional' and assuming that their sound people would quickly find the source of the myriad of problems. They did not. Still, 'bad' sound was not the sole reason for this audience member's displeasure. The legendary Brenda Russel seemed to be having an 'off' night vocally AND timing-wise and the ever-gyrating Jesse J -- whose extremely distracting physical movements completely overshadowed and contradicted her sax playing -- were noticeably disappointing even amongst the obvious sound disaster. An extremely beautiful young lady, Jesse J should be able to play her horn without trying to simultaneously imitate a spastic stripper -- and I like beautiful ladies AND the occasional stripper! But she was, as they say, doing WAY too much. Yes, we know that 'sex' sells... but subtlety is far sexier in this type of setting than what we were offered. The lone shining moments in the second set belonged to the one and only Mr. Phil Perry. For two lone songs which he performed the angry 'sound gods' rested and allowed the brilliance to shine through. Personable, passionate and pitch-perfect, Phil Perry demonstrated world-class talent and the ability to communicate WITH the audience in an awe-inspiring performance. And then the bad sound returned.

I did't like going to church at a jazz concert, it was OK for the artis to paly gospel.

We thought all the Artist were great the only problem the air conditioner were turned off at one point and it got really hot in there. The bass players were too loud. I also feel this was a Jazz event why serve liquor if we could not take it inside the theatre.

This concert was excellent. All the entertainers were at the "TOP' of their game. However, Mr. Perry shut it down, he took this experience to another level.
