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."

    Grass.

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

    It was a great show. I wish we would have known that the concert was in a field with no seats. This was a date night for my wife and I and we were not dressed for a festival style concert. The tickets had row and seat numbers so nothing led me to believe that this was an outdoor show. Because of this we were not able to stay as long as we would have liked to. Again the show was great and we would go again but would like to know what to expect venue wise.

    They were better than the Ezra of the 90s

    by Gilbilly on 11/5/22Buckhead Theatre - Atlanta

    This band has actually improved on sound quality, energy and even humor. Who says getting old sucks. They were great. Not exactly a spectacle of pyros and video screens but still very fun. Never hurts to have one video screen in the back even if it's just random stuff of nostalgia for just 1 or 2 songs. But overall a four star and worth the ticket price.

    Better Than EVER!!!

    by Laura on 11/5/22Buckhead Theatre - Atlanta

    I have been following BTE for many, many years. I love their music and their vibe. But this show at The Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, Wednesday night November 2nd. was truly one of my top 15 concerts I have seen in my life and I have seen A LOT!!! I know I have never enjoyed these guys more. And again, I have seen BTE several times over the many years. They were not only so very tight and in sync, they were entertaining. The show was so very good and Kevin and the boys rocked it. Engaging and funny and so into Atlanta and the crowd. They appreciated the crowd and the tickets were so very reasonable price wise. Our seats were great. The drinks were cold and the crowd was in to it so much!!! It just was a great show and EVERYONE, if you get the chance, go and see these guys. They really are one of a kind and I LOVED IT!!! Can't wait for the new music to drop and hopefully they will get back out on the road to promote it and PLEASE come back to Atlanta!!! I will have my seat!!!!

    Like being transported back in time, they are AGELESS

    by Jed on 11/2/22The Queen - Wilmington

    Quality of sound was terrific. Lead singer is a real showman. Great apparent chemistry. Fun. Great guitar rifts. Crisp voice. Gorgeous unique venue. Just a wonderful overall experience. Double wrist bands and having to give my name a bit odd, but so what.

    Great live show!

    by Kat on 11/2/22The Queen - Wilmington

    BTE showed up in Halloween costumes, which really set the tone for a fun show! Lots of energy, storytelling, and covers of old favorites. This was my 14th BTE show-10/10 recommend!

    BTE killed it as usual!!!

    by Michele R on 11/1/22Lincoln Theatre - Washington

    Always a great night when you get to experience a BTE show! Lincoln Theater is a great venue but difficult to get there from the burbs and forget about parking - take an Uber.

    Amazing Show

    by Big T on 11/1/22Lincoln Theatre - Washington

    BTE crushed it again at the Lincoln playing all the hits and covering some great tunes from Elton John, James and the Ramones with their usual flair. The Lincoln is a fun venue although it’s in kind of a rough neighborhood. I am always up for a BTE show when they come to town because they rock. AMAZING!

    Doesn't get any better...

    by Our Finest Year on 11/1/22Lincoln Theatre - Washington

    BTE epitomizes the best of 90's bands. No costumes, no pyrotechnics, no aerial stunts. Just good ole playing. Great energy and connection with the audience. Even played songs by other bands (Oasis anyone?). Can't wait until their new album comes out in 2023.

    Such a treat to see BTE live

    by James on 11/1/22Lincoln Theatre - Washington

    Band was great. Such a good time. More than just amazing songs, they bring more entertainment value via some good stories and commentary. 10/10

    Amazing

    by bripic on 11/1/22Lincoln Theatre - Washington

    Band was truly amazing, sound was great in the venue. Had a wonderful time, traveled from Lancaster, PA to see them. I couldn't have asked for a better more engaging performance. Kevin Griffin is very down to earth and I loved his stories. Would love to see them again.

    Awesome Show, Awful Theater Policy

    by Pokertello on 10/30/22Gramercy Theatre - New York

    The show was amazing! The only drawback was we had to throw leftover food in a doggy bag because Gramercy Theater prohibits it. What a waste! We were not going to eat it inside. That was leftover from our dinner before the event, and it had no effect whatsoever on the possibility of us purchasing food or beverage inside the venue.

    Not your typical rock show!

    by LC on 10/24/22

    Went with a friend and wasn’t sure what to expect. Had an amazing time! Not your typical rock show. Jokes and covers between their hits. I hope to catch them again!

    Yes! Legends of the Fall tour

    by Jennifer on 10/24/22House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    Opening act Bones Owens was great. I was so overjoyed to see Better Than Ezra live in person again since 2014. I'm grateful they played some deep cuts from their catalogue of music. The band always put a great show. I was really hoping for a second encore.

    So Juicy!

    by SFPixie on 10/23/22House of Blues Chicago - Chicago

    They have an infectious energy that is always a joy. You feel as if you are watching friends perform. There is a give and take to the experience that is very fulfilling.
