Fabulous Show!
Birchmere - Alexandria
This is the second time I have seen The Ventures in the past year at the Birchmere. I remember their music well from high school. The show was fantastic, the band was personable, the drummer was amazing. Their performance earned a standing ovation and I would definitely go again

The Ventures are the BEST!!
Birchmere - Alexandria
Saw the Ventures about 35 years ago at DC's 9:30 Club. Seen a lot of concerts through the years and have always said that was the best concert I ever went to. Saw they were going to perform at the Birchmere, I purchased tickets and expected to be disappointed but, they were fantastic!! Had such a great time - in the top 3 concerts of all time!

GREAT SHOW!!!!!
Birchmere - Alexandria
Bob Spalding is a MASTER guitarist with a unique sound. This is THE REAL SURF MUSIC. Leon Taylor is THE BEST drummer I have heard in 10 years of going to the Birchmere. It was just an outstanding show; no talk, just wall to wall Surf Music.

It was a hoot !
Birchmere - Alexandria
It was fun. I would recommend seeing them. All instrumental songs but fun songs to play and listen to. They have a lot of classic surf songs that everybody has heard even if they don't realize it.

The Ventures Are The Best Instrumental Ever
B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New York
A wonderful show and, after all these years, they still bring such a high level of energy and excitement, particularly group leader, Don Wilson who is nearly 80 years old! All the great hits were played and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and "I Got a Woman" were standouts. Nokie Edward's with his "finger-pickin "style has to be one of the best rock guitarists on the planet. The audience really appreciated the group's "meet and greet" segment where they signed autographs, album covers etc. The Ventures and their fans have a mutual love for each other. Please bring them back for a longer series of concerts at B.B. Kings.

Opened with Walk Don't Run and closed with Caravan A lot if touching history, personal recollections from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitar players and a fantastic drummer. My son CJ was inspired to play guitar from the likes of Bryan Adams and this band. My older son Ryan plays a good number of their songs on drums. This was a dream to listen live to a group that inspired kids everywhere to pick up an instrument and play. Just Awesome! Hope they keep playing!
