About

BETTER THAN EZRA IN CONCERT:

New Orleans' hometown heroes Better Than Ezra dominated '90s airwaves with a string of ubiquitous, fuzzed-out alt-rock hits like "Good" and "Desperately Wanting." The band's poppy, sing-along anthems came to define the sound of a generation, making each live show something of a reunion for their devoted fans. The elation was palpable at their 2013 shows, and with a new album due out in summer 2014, Better than Ezra will be delivering bigger than ever on their 2014 tour dates.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed by four Louisiana State University students in the late '80s, Better Than Ezra cut its teeth performing at fraternities and house parties before going on to generate buzz with their cassette-only demos. After self-releasing 1993's Deluxe, the band landed a deal with Elektra Records, who reissued the album in 1995. The record was an overnight sensation upon its re-release, spawning hits like "Good" and "Rosealia" and going on to achieve platinum certification from the RIAA. Five more albums of infectious alt-rock would follow, setting the stage for a highly anticipated new album in 2014.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Great show! Ezra never disappoints! They are amazingly talented and have fun performing so that makes it so great!"

"Great show! Perfect blend of old and new, humor and covers...crowd ranged from early 20s to 50s and all seemed to have a great time!"

"BTE does such a fantastic job of providing a unique show... They always have new musicians backing up or guests who make each show unforgettable in its own way."

    Dissapointing night, NOT the band tho!

    by LuLu on 6/13/23Margaritaville Resort Casino - Bossier City

    Overall dissapointing night at Margaritaville. Started w dinner at Dragos: my red beans n rice was delicious, but, i got my meal b4 my salad; my husband found 1 shrimp in Shrimp Eggplant but said it tasted good and we had to flag waitress down twice for tea n water refill!!! Had good seats at concert, off to left; b4 band started it was warm thought because we were under light, well lights went out n it just got warmer!!!! Bout 20 mins into show i felt like i was gona pass out, told husband i had get out there. There were couple other ladies in restroom said same. Would have loved to see whole show, sound wasnt greatest and it was a sauna, but, band was "Spot on"!

    Always awesome!

    by CarolH on 5/9/23House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    BTE never disappoints! From playing their own music, to bringing in something from another band, or mashing up a mixture of songs, they're fun, exciting to watch, and a blast to sing along with. With the energy and enthusiasm they displayed, you'd never know they played the night before in exactly the same spot! They are a must see every time they're in the city.

    Show was oversold

    by Music enthusiast on 5/9/23House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Music was fine. But the experience was disappointing as there were way too many general admission tickets sold. Never able to see the act until the final 2 songs after some people had left. House of Blues charges a premium for everything. That would be OK if you deliver a good experience.

    "GOOD" in so many ways

    by Diane Harper Redlin on 5/8/23House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Best show I've ever been to - and I've been to a lot! The House of Blues staff was amazing and accommodated my obsessive need to be first in to get a spot in front! The band brought energy and passion to this show and it was so much fun to be a part of. And to top all of that, it was a charitable event. As a teacher, I appreciate how important it is to give children the opportunity to experience music through instruments. THANK YOU BTE! See you in August!

    Awesome but oversold

    by Mellie on 5/8/23House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    BTE is one of my favorite bands of all time. They were absolutely lovely, but it was hard to ignore that the number of people in the space seemed unsafe. Either it was oversold, or HoB needs to update their max capacity.

    Great Show

    by BTE on 5/8/23House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Better Than Ezra always delivers! Also, the House of Blues is a great venue to see them! Hope they keep playing Jazz Fest.

    New Arena

    by MellonCollie on 4/23/23BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove - Southaven

    The bands who performed were top notch! I understand this was the first show for this venue in several years, and they still have some kinks to work out. I purchased front row tickets, with the understanding that there was no pit in front of me. The workers did not check tickets, and allowed a large crowd who came down from all areas of the venue to accumulate in front of the stage. I attend dozens of concerts a year and have never been somewhere with a ticketed front row (meaning there is no pit) that this has happened. Hopefully they better train their staff during future events because what is the point of buying those tickets if someone who got a ticket in the very back can come stand in front of you the whole time?

    Great show!

    by Mark B on 4/23/23BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove - Southaven

    Just knows how to have fun with the crowd! A lot of pause in a song to ad lib funny lyrics. Covered some other popular songs, even Elton John. Had a blast.

    Always amazing and worth it!

    by Stacy on 11/13/22House of Blues Houston - Houston

    This was the final show of their Legends of the Fall tour and it did not disappoint. The band is always top notch as performers, high energy, funny, a great mix of old songs, new songs and covers to keep things interesting. The sound was awesome and the overall experience was great, although the Houston crowd left a little room for improvement (watching one guy get pushy/physical with his wife when he didnt get his way with some people, myself included). It was a super fun night and if you're looking for a good night out, definitely go see Better Than Ezra. You'll be smiling the whole night and then some!

    Incredible as always

    by T. V. on 11/9/22The Queen - Wilmington

    The guys were all dressed in skeleton outfits for Halloween. This is about the 7th time or so that I saw them and they remain one of my favorite bands to see live (love the albums as well). Keep on rocking! See you again!

    Best Date Night!

    by TXCampfire on 11/8/22House of Blues Dallas - Dallas

    We were super excited for BTE to be playing close to us again. We have been fans for years and finally got to see them. HOB is a fantastic venue. We could not have asked for a better show.

    Great Show, Not Sound

    by RJB on 11/7/22L'Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge - Baton Rouge

    BTE put on a great show as always and we had a great time. However, the sound could have been much better for them. Overall it was extremely loud in the midrange frequencies. Drums (and keys at times) were way too loud as well. I used to run sound and in my opinion the sound for the opening act (Bones Owens) was SOOOO much better!
