Kathy Mattea Tickets

One of the things I love about country music (well, mainly "older"country music) is that there is frequently a story to the song, and Kathy Mattea told us the "stories"to so many of her songs. It's what sets country music apart, and it's why I love it, and I appreciate her sharing those stories with us. As she stated at the start of the show, the smaller venue allows us to actually hear the songs being sung (not just noise) and that was true, you could understand every word she sang, even if you didn't know the song. I'm so happy she came to NJ to share her talent with us in person

This was our first time at The Vogel and we really appreciated the intimate setting. Kathy Mattea was as marvelous as I’d hoped and we really enjoyed the set list she selected. The musical experience was terrific. Regarding the venue, we were in the mezzanine and had the 4 seats at DD. It was extraordinary cold upstairs . Most of the guests in the rear of the mezzanine needed their coats to be comfortable. Visibility was also an issue as there was a large man seated at the rail who effectively blocked 1 persons view of the stage completely. Perhaps some offset arrangements could be considered. Overall, we were delighted with the event and look forward to returning to The Vogel!

Love Kathy she was amazing Seating chart was a challenge. Difficult to navigate. The venue didnt show it like we experienced. It was amazing facailty but seating was awful

Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club is a new venue that I had read about in the newspaper, and when I saw a listing for the Kathy Mattea concert, I investigated and bought two tickets. There wasn't much of a decent selection available by the time I made my move, and was unfamiliar with the actual in-person layout of the venue; were we surprised to find that from our seats on a second-floor "balcony", we could not see the stage at all, but had to watch the show from a wall-mounted TV screen! Not at all what we expected, and, from discussions with members of our "remote" audience, our feelings were shared by others. We also planned to have dinner there before the show; here's a tip for future attendees: eat at home or at a nearby restaurant, because the very limited selection of "small plates (not that they were labeled as such) will leave both your stomach and your wallet wanting more. Otherwise, had our seats been in either the "orchestra" or balcony directly in front of the stage, our experience would have been much better. The facility is gorgeous, but we came for the music and the food ... maybe we'll have better luck next time ...

Kathy Mattea isn't exactly jazz, and she isn't exactly blues. But she is a great singer and performer. I am so glad that Jimmy's opened their stage to her. And she did not disappoint. WHat a great show. And now on to Jimmy's. Our first time there, and we will be back, as often as possible (an hour and a half drive+ for us). This has got to be one of the premier music venues in New England. From the first exuberant "Come on in!" greeting at the door to every staff encounter, we felt welcome and well taken care of. Jimmy's has thought of everything, from seat comfort, sight lines, sound system, to little details like the tea light on/off to signal your wait person during the show. The venue is on the 3rd and 4th floor, but the elevator is very conveniently located for those who may need it. I have some minor complaints, but they are so small or personal that this is still a 5 Star rating. Food was great, Louisiana inspired but chef visioned. I have to say, though, that I am not a fan of the small portion/tapas approach. It is difficult to know how to order to create a filling meal. On the other had, we got to try half the menu, everything was good, most were great. The PA system was excellent. You will hear well from anywhere with great sight lines from just about everywhere. Sight lines from the section behind the bar can be partially obstructed due to the renovation incorporating the old brick facade with tall arched windows. But there is a jumbotron on two opposite walls in that section that assures you will see everything. Minor comment for the sound techs. We got lucky with a table right in front of the stage. How can I possibly complain? But this turned out to be a slight dead spot between the speakers. Kathy's voice could have been clearer and crisper, but I think that was due to our positioning between the speakers. This may be less of an issue for an instrumentally driven performance. I'll still take these front table seats in a heartbeat. So those are my small critiques. This is a Five Star venue, suited to the Five Star acts they are bringing in. Welcome, Jimmy's, to New Hampshire. I've been waiting nearly 40 years for you, since we moved to NH.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful the evening was! From the venue , food to the concert, all was perfection. I will be returning soon for the New Orleans style food and Kathy Mattea was thoroughly entertaining from her stories about her career to her music.

Very enjoyable evening, Kathy Mattea was great. The venue was a perfect place for Kathy’s performance, nice place to connect to the audience.

What a fun time. KM's voice is back! Really enjoyed the show like I knew I would.

Kathy Mattea puts on a live performance that can’t be matched. She combines music with stories and a touch of humor. Her voice is so pure, it sounds better in person than it does on her recordings. She is absolute perfection!!

She was so real. I enjoyed every minute of the performance. Her voice is amazing. I cried during “Where Have You Been” and laughed during many stories. I would definitely go again.
