    Interesting but Disappointing

    by DDV2011 on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    When artists have a new album & music, they play a few songs from it, not majority of the album. Instead of hearing the older songs we’ve come to know & love that stoke up memories, and finally be in the presence of Bruce, we got the opposite. Bruce is amazingly talented, but sadly the concert was a disappointment. We held on as long as we could but left at 10pm after hearing only 3 hit songs. Kudos to the weird album, but it’s not for us. Yes, all are talented musicians, but it was not enjoyable music to our ears. Sorry.

    Never as good as the first time

    by AnaH on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    Sadly, Bruce’s energy was low, and lowered further by his orchestral accompaniment. I understand that he’s a musician who experiments and grows, and loves jazzy, but I wish I’d stayed home. I have loved and followed him since his first album and have seen him three times before—last time in 2012-ish in Saratoga, CA. Now I have to remember past his Des Moines concert, which bums me out. Plus, a volunteer passed on to a friend of mine that Bruce said Hoyt Sherman Auditorium should be raised and leveled. Wha says that? Hope it’s a rumor.

    Wish I could get my money back

    by FunGuyIA on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    Only heard 2 of the songs that resembled the hits that made him rich and famous, and they were not good enough to make any money as played. Mr. Hornsby brought a sextet that played with him and without him. I'm sure that they might be accomplished individually on their own however together they did not sound like they were playing the same, some song at the same time. We took a 15-year-old grandson, and this was his 1st concert, I was so embarrassed. I hope that we did not put him off of live performances for life. We decided that it was not going to get any better and could not take any more of this abuse of our senses so all 4 of us left before the end of the show. Mr. Hornsby if you read this, I came to hear you perform your songs that made you, and that I listen to everyday. I wish I could get my money back.!

    Disappointed

    by Lisa on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    We were so excited to see Bruce for the first time and have our son and his wife join us- music is a huge part of our family and our love for all kinds of genres has definitely rubbed off on our kids. Sadly we were so disappointed in the concert, expecting to hear the version of Bruce’s classics that we know and loved. This concert was not marketed as a new venture for him with a totally different sound. This was not our cup of tea and such a bummer to all of us. Many of the songs we have loved for years were played in totally different rhythm and just so disappointing. The venue continues to be an amazing place to attend a concert, but it was so sad to not hear what we expected.

    Not good at all

    by Laura on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    This tour/show is really not for the typical Bruce Hornsby fan. Maybe you saw and loved him with the Dead? Or loved his Old Valley Road era? You will get nothing like that. Playing with yMusic - an eclectic NY based 6piece orchestra- each of his classic songs takes on a new life in which you need to struggle to find pieces of the original. Melodies are not even the same. It was horrible. The new songs with BH and yMusic suck. Its like listening to childrens songs and a combo of NPR. Rediculous lyrics and arrangements.

    A disappointment

    by Cory on 3/15/24Hoyt Sherman Place - Des Moines

    I walked away from the Des Moines performance feeling major disappointment. I was aware that he was going to be performing as much or more of his new material as he would his older songs. His support ensemble played very well, it just wasn't my cup of tea. The part of the performance that I didn't care for was when he played his old songs he didn't put any energy into them. It appeared as though he was doing the old material because he was obligated to include it. There were a couple times he put some energy and magic into the old material, and you could feel the crowd reacting, and then he would shut it down. As far as his new material, I'm not a fan. And that's fine, he can go wherever his urges take him. It just would have been nice if he had put some effort into the material that made him who he is.

    Mesmerizing night with Bruce Hornsby!

    by Jan on 12/18/23Lillian S. Wells Hall at The Parker - Ft Lauderdale

    The venue was our favorite & Bruce commented he loved it & their piano. Promised to return! Played many requests from audience & ones written before hand Improvised & introduced us to new & obscure composers which he worked into songs. He blew us away! As we exited we were given free 25th anniversary tour CD set! I’m loving it!! Thanks for a magical night✨

    Absolutely fantastic

    by Brenda on 12/11/23Lillian S. Wells Hall at The Parker - Ft Lauderdale

    A man and his piano. WOW he's a great musician. Got to hear variations of his popular songs as well as classical renditions that he wrote. A one man show I could go to again.

    Bruce Hornsby

    by IMB on 12/11/23Lillian S. Wells Hall at The Parker - Ft Lauderdale

    Excellent show. Great venue. Talented Pianist. The only thing missing was some of his older music which everyone has enjoyed over the years. Still excellent show.
