We saw John Berry for his annual Christmas Concert at The Walker Theatre in Chattanooga, TN. The concert was being filmed for television, therefore it started off rough but overall was Amazing!! We have seen John 4-5 other times for his Christmas concert and have never been disappointed. John’s voice is truly a gift from above. O Holy Night will leave you in AW!
We flew from Louisiana to Chattanooga specifically for this concert and were not disappointed. Best concert I have ever been to - so personable and humble - loved every minute of it!!
John Berry can sing a Christmas song like no other artist. I have seen his Christmas show many times and this one was the best yet! Can't wait till next year.
Starting with the meet & Greet portion if the night, John Berry was so humble, personable, and amazing! He made time to speak to everyone, autograph their photo, and hug their neck & wish them a Merry Christmas. This was not my first time seeing him, but I brought family who was. His voice is still wonderful! No one sings O Holy Night like John!! Loved the evening!!
Wish he would have sang all night! We will be going to more of his concerts!
I have always been a fan of John Berry and he still has the same great tenor voice. The first half of the show was great and he performed a lot of his country hits and new material. The second half of the show was magical. There was no Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Jingle Bells. It was all adult inspirational Christmas songs and John's rendition of O Holy Night was amazing. This really put us in the mood for Christmas. John sat on the edge of the stage and interacted with the audience, during the intermission, and posed for photos after the performance. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
John Berry was great, and we enjoyed the intimacy of the venue and the experience of being included on a concert that will be broadcast. However, with a constant stream of people opening the door to backstage every few minutes and the fact that the stage security guy sitting directly in front of us chewed tobacco and spit into a water bottle the whole time, perhaps the venue was a hair TOO casual. Surely Memorial Auditorium officials can demand better than this of their employees.
John Berry is awesome and the newly renovated Walker Theater was great! It’ felt like having a concert in your living room...not a bad seat in the house!
John Berry is still in amazing voice! He sings as well as he ever has and with his small group of musicians delivered a big sound at the Kalamazoo State Theater. We have been going to his shows there for many years and at the end of the DVD of the concert a few years ago, you can see us crossing the street in the after concert footage. He did a rapid fire performing of several of his hit songs, then offered up some new material from new CDs. And of course when he and his family / band came back to do Christmas...........well, that was just so wonderful it's hard to describe. Again I could listen to him sing Christmas songs for hours if he would. He is a very positive and genuine person which just adds to the experience.
I love going to the State theatre in Kalamazoo mainly because I can pick my seat and all seats are good. I usually pick a single seat so I don't have to get up and down to let people in and out. I have trouble doing that. I only go when they have John Berry there. He has a great voice and I love listening to his stories and his interaction with his band. I have many of his albums and none are bad. I hope he keeps coming back and I am able to always make it there. My only regret was I was not able to purchased his new cds hope they are offered online. It is a great show and fun for all ages and groups of people. I dedicate Blue Christmas (his version) to him and his band. That is what Christmas is like when he doesn't come to town. Elvis was the only one I liked singing that song but now I have 2 favorite versions.
