Jay Farrar Tickets

Always enjoy hearing Jay Farrar and his group and this was no disappointment. Further, the new venue, Delmar Hall, is terrific. Great evening of wonderful music.

It just doesn't get better than watching Jay play this seminal album. Holy grail show IMO!!

What a great show...the end of the tour and who knows if they'll ever tour again...such a great show...the boys rocked it and the crowd loved it...and the Paradise was a perfect venue to see Woody's lyrics brought to life...

Not a great venue. This concert should have been at HOB, at least Band came out at 10:30, after an opening act that was hardly bearable. JF, YY and co were great. Just wrong venue.

Sometimes when individual accomplished musicians come together for a cause or respite from their day job groups, the results are disappointing, the personalities don't mesh. Not here. These four talented musicians really demonstrate what can happen when the sum is must greater than the individual parts. There wasn't a whole lot of conversation with the audience, just a steady, consistently interesting set of music put to dusted off Woody Guthrie lyrics. Great harmonies, soaring guitars to a steady beat. The Webster Theatre is not an easy place for a 60 plus year old music lover - crowded, standing room only environment. But the music made it all feel just right.

A great concert. I'm a fan of Jim James but the audience could have been a little more equinanimous towards Jay, Anders and Will.

not being familiar with the new album i was caught off guard by the lack of folk music at the show. jay fararr is certainly the lead member but the sound guy had different ideas. i have been to shows at this venue before and it was just too loud. when they performed the encore each performer played a solo acoustic piece which was great. then they each featured an electric piece and by the end they played a feedback so loud it had people leaving the room. the sound engineer should have his hearing checked. the room holds 1500 people not 15000. if woody guthrie were there he would have spoken to the audience about some of the pieces he was playing. they never mentioned him. he was america's folk music hero and i'm sure after that show his ears were ringing as were mine.

Giving credence to, while redefining the notion of the sum being greater than its parts is the New Multitudes. Alone, each of these musicians is a creative powerhouse, with voices that compel and instrumental talents that awe. Together, they compose a fortress of such depth that one is left slack-jawed with wonder. This fortress, however, does not exclude. Instead, in covering the songs of Woody Guthrie, these musicians filled Webster Hall with reminders of why we love music. I found myself weeping in one song and dancing uncontrollably in another. Guitars, especially in moments when all four men were playing one of their own, filled the venue, penetrating the air and injecting the spirit, turning a crowd full of strangers into a room of fellow travelers for the night.

Jim James hams it up a little too much for my tastes, although My Morning Jacket has a lovely "Mr. Wonderful" song he sang that everyone knew. The show had a strong "guy" atmosphere to it and unless you are down with male bonding, you may not get as much out of their noise rock as this pretentious music enthusiast. Anders Parker's versatile music talents also make

It was a great show, 4 awesome musicians playing Woody Guthrie songs which they had put to music. I hope they expand the tour or do another project together.
