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."

    A Great Band!

    by Ronnie on 5/28/24Margaritaville Resort Casino - Bossier City

    We went to Bossier City to see Better Than Ezra and they put on a helluva show! Their interaction with the crowd was excellent and they played songs from their past as well as current music-all of it well done!! This was my second time to see them perform and it was a fun show that did not disappoint! They played around an hour and forty-five minutes and they are a great live band!! I already want to see them again!! I love their music, their confidence and their solid performance that they give when they’re performing. A very good band to go see!!

    Acoustic Night at the Casino

    by dizzysyd on 5/28/24Margaritaville Resort Casino - Bossier City

    Better Than Ezra shows are known for being entertaining. That’s why I’ve been going to them for 29 years (as of 2024). This was no exception. They were unplugged for this show, which was fun. They played many of their hits, a few covers, and several songs off of their stellar new album “Super Magick”. Go see them if you can. Even after all these years, they’re still killin’ it.

    Sounded Great & A Lot Of Fun

    by NickP on 5/22/24House of Blues Cleveland - Cleveland

    It was great to hear all of the older songs, and the new stuff was pretty good live. They even pulled out some deeper stuff that was not expected. Very entertaining, and the House of Blues is a pretty cool little venue.

    Better Than Ezra is still “Killing It”

    by Crazy Lucky Guy on 5/13/24Uptown Theater - Kansas City

    Better Than Ezra is one of those bands that love to perform live, which was evident in this show. They still have the drive, energy, and talent to put on an amazing performance! Kevin, Tom, Michael, and Jim expertly performed a great mix of new music like “Mystified”, “Live A Little”, and “Killing It”, classic hits like “Good”, “Desperately Wanting”, and “In the Blood”, and cover tunes including INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart”. BTE interacted with the crowd throughout the show and kept us entertained between songs with their stage banter. I feel like we got more than our money’s worth and can’t wait to see them again!
