Ben Rector puts on a great show. Sounds better than the radio. Such a talented musician with a great band. Can’t recommend any higher
The venue way oversold the lawn seats. Only place to sit was on the back side of a hill facing away from the stage. Total waste of time and money. Will never get lawn seats at this venue ever again.
Mat Kearney and Ben Rector were both great performers! First time at the venue, general admission was still great.
Really Great show! Wish Ben had even more stage time!
Ben Rector & Mat Kearney put on a show! Definitely a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend the Salt Shed venue in Chicago.
Similar types of artists. I personally would’ve preferred the milling be switched or a longer Mat Kearney set. Ben Rector has a good stage presence and seems very genuine. I see why he has a strong following. I always say you can judge a great performer by loving a set even though you don’t know any songs. Ben gets a 7/10 on that.
Ben Rector is one of my favorite artists to see live. He’s personable, appreciative of his fans and incredibly talented. I love that his band seems to truly enjoy the show as well, they all seem to be having a great time which makes the overall vibe even better. I would 10/10 recommend Ben (and have been) to family and friends. This show was unique - stories told were hilarious, there was an engagement, the bespoke Chicago tees were special and Ben seemed to truly be enjoying himself as usual! He’s the best!
We had such a great time seeing two of our absolute favorite performers on stage - no less together! It was incredible. The Salt Shed was a great venue for a summer concert - easy to get in/out, good food/drinks, could use more seating, but it was overall a great experience. But I'd stand on one foot in a hail storm for three hours if it meant I got to see Ben and Mat. Each has such a unique performance, but coming together for their song at the end lived up to the hype I had been anticipating for months. So grateful to get this opportunity. Love you Ben and Mat!!
Guys. Ben is so good. He gets some of the best musicians to vibe with him, and he really cares about sharing the best experience with us. Not only is he vocally and lyrically talented, he is authentic, funny, and just generally crowd pleasing. He really does give credit where he thinks the credit’s due. Ben and his band make you feel like you’re enjoying a jam sesh in their living room. (Except it’s the best jam sesh ever played, with the most legit solos and a suuuuper great set list). I could go on and on… This was my second BR concert, and I don’t plan to stop myself from the pleasure of going again and again.
Ben Rector was awesome, as always. His music is great on its own - but how he relates to the audience with such openness and vulnerability is what draws people in. The sound at The Paramount was atrocious - and haven't spent most of my life in the music industry I like to think I know what I'm talking about. The drum mix was bad - the kick drum was so overpowering. It constantly conflicted with the bass player and overpowered everything else. The mix for the opening act was even worse. I've seen Sting with a full rock band at The Paramount and the sound was great. I'm not sure what was going on for this concert, but it needs to be better.
This was my wife and I’s 3rd time seeing Ben Rector in Concert and his show in Seattle Friday night, 6/6/2025 was without question one of the BEST concerts we’ve ever been to!
The Ben Rector concert was nothing short of incredible! From the first note, it was clear we were in for an awesome night. Ben's voice is as powerful live as it is on his albums. The entire band was equally impressive, showcasing exceptional talent and energy that elevated every song. I love that he takes the time to uplift his band. What really stood out to me was Ben himself. He radiates authenticity and joy - mixing humor with heartfelt moments. He feels like the kind of person I’d love to grab coffee with. He seems genuine, kind, and completely down-to-earth. The lyrics of his songs resonate deeply with me. They are the kind that make you reflect, smile, and even tear up a little (Richest Man in the World). The crowd was singing along, and everyone was stoked to be there. The atmosphere felt more like a giant, joyful gathering than just a concert. One of the highlights of the night for me was sharing it with my 14-year-old daughter. Watching her sing, dance, and light up with joy reminded me why live music is so magical. It was a night we’ll both remember for a long time.
Show was great! Opening act (the national parks) was amazing and would go see them on their own. Ben rector and his band are so talented. They play multiple instruments and just love what they do. 90 min set from Ben and was enough but would’ve def loved more.
Love this artist! Seeing him in smaller venues is always a treat. The standing room only is a bit hard for 3+ hours of show (preshow band The National Parks was great), but still an enjoyable evening.
This is my second time seeing Ben Rector live. the first time was during his Magic Tour in 2019 when he came to Phoenix AZ, where my family lives. Given that he has not been back since and he has stated that this is his last tour with a band for a while, we knew we had to travel to go see him and take our three children with us since they love his music and were too little to attend the last show in AZ. The House of Blues was a great, intimate venue and a wonderful place to see Ben play. The set list was phenomenal, Ben played all of our favorites and a couple of new songs. My 8 year old son was so excited that his favorite song was played last. We also brought my mom with us to the show. She is a new Ben Rector fan, only started listening to him in December after we got tickets to the show, but she loved the concert! She said his songs were so meaningful that she was in tears most of the show. Ben Rector is an amazing artist and this show is a must see for anyone who love good quality music!
This is my 4th Ben Rector show and he never disappoints! The National Parks opened for him and they are wonderfully talented and energetic. I upgraded at the last minute and I am glad that I did. Kookie was our server and she was great! Katie was my bartender inside the Foundation Room and she was so welcoming. The venue was absolutely energetic, especially with Ben Rector going through his fun catalog. This concert was worth every penny and the merch was perfect! Ben and his band are so interactive with the audience and there is not a dull moment throughout the show!
What an incredible night! The National Parks opened with a fantastic set—so much energy and talent. Then Ben Rector took the stage and absolutely filled my cup. His music was extraordinary, and he was, as always, fun, genuine, and so interactive with the fans. It felt like we were all part of something special. I’d stand packed like a sardine any night just to experience that again. Truly a night to remember.
Great music selection. Symphony was outstanding. Wouldn’t have changed anything about the performance!!
This was our first concert featuring the symphony and it was fantastic. The music with the added symphony was awesome, venue was outstanding and the show was just a little different than a standard concert but was very light and fun. The artists seemed to really enjoy this type of show and I cannot recommend this enough.
Was a fantastic pairing of these musicians! A great show
