Charles Esten Tickets

Charles Esten, aka Deacon, sounded pretty good for the most part. He did a real good job on the slow love ballad type songs. Where he fell down was when he tried to cover some songs from Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, etc. Those covers were kinda hard to listen to. I enjoyed his energy. The crowd turnout was very dismal. They had the stage set up way, way, way out at 2nd base. Even if you had front row seats, you needed binoculars to even tell it was him. My wife loves the show Nashville and especially Deacon. She loved it all . . . so it was well worth it all things considered. Another thing about it was that the $25 ticket ended up costing over $36 with all the added on fees. I was under the impression that I had to buy the tickets via the internet, but when I arrived at the ticket window to pick up my tickets, I realized I could have bought them for $29 cash. I was not happy with that.

Disappointed to find out after two hour drive that Claire Bowen would be a no show. Sister act were putting my to sleep,made me regret I forgot my earphones or didn't buy any before going in. Esten was pretty, lively and entertaining. If it wasn't for his show, this review would have earned no stars. To make matters worse, two of my three seats were plastic lawn chairs!!!! $60 for freaking lawn chains!!!

The performers were awesome! Clare Bowen was originally slated to perform with Charles Esten, but she got sick, which was disappointing, however having the Stella Sisters there in her place was very exciting! Unfortunately, the sound was TERRIBLE!!! If you didn't know the words to a song there was NO WAY you could understand what they were singing! Granted, the venue is not conducive to great acoustics, but we have been to several concerts at the Del Mar Fairgrounds & this was only the second time there were sound issues. Not sure if the individual band's equipment plays a part in it but I would imagine the weather definitely plays a part in it. At any rate, would love to see them at a more intimate venue because they are all extremely talented & have amazing voices!

The show was well presented and the opening act Lennon & Maisy sounded great with their harmonies. Charles Esten backed by a great band came off very utilitarian. The acts shared one song each in their sets and personally I think the show would have been improved had they done more together. Claire Bowen cancelled and Lennon and Maisy stepped in with only a day's warning, so for all-in-all I give the show a decent rating and if you like the TV show Nashville I believe you will like this show.

Although Clare Bowen was unable to appear at the concert with Charles (Chip) Esten, Lennon & Maisy certainly stepped up. The two sisters are very talented singers and seemed at ease with the audience. I was pleased that they were asked to fill in for Clare, because they're two of my favorites on "Nashville". Chip Esten is a real entertainer. He is so far from the character of Deacon on the show, which is a great thing! He really enjoys performing in front of an audience and does are really admirable job. The only bummer was at the very end when Chip invited the sisters to come out for the last song, and an audience member fell ill. Because there was very little time left to finish the song, the performers ended the show (gracefully and professionally) out of respect to the ill woman (and was fine after all). All in all, I am so glad I didn't get a refund just because Clare Bowen wasn't there!

At first I was disappointed to learn that Claire Bowen dropped out last minute. But when I heard Lennon and Maisy were filling in, I was excited...love them on Nashville. Charles Esten...Deacon... Is a fabulous entertainer. I loved his high energy, upbeat music. The man can sing! I loved the concert. So happy I had the opportunity to give this feedback.

At first we were disappointed after coming all the way from Vegas to see Chip & Clare Bowen, to hear @ the last minute she had to cancel. Lennon & Maisey more than made up for that disappointment. Those girls brought the house down!!!!!! Chip Esten & his band were as great as we thought they would be. Their energy & love of music was evident in every song they sang.

Charles Esten was over the top with his playlist. I would definitely see him again! So awesome. Lennon and Maisey were just as entertaining and seem to me will be if not already powerful singers. So awesome. Great show!

Chip Esten is always phenomenal live! He is an amazing performer and an incredible person. As fans, we truly appreciate how he takes the time after a show to meet and greet his fans. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was also great to see how much his hometown adores him. We aren't from the Alexandria area, but we were surrounded by people that were, and they all had the kindest and most wonderful things to say about him. Very nice to hear!

Full disclosure - Charles Esten's (Deacon Claybourne on "Nashville") performance at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA was a homecoming. He grew up in Alexandria and was surrounded by many members of his family and friends in the audience. He was clearly so excited to be playing in the historic venue. He played tunes from "Nashville" and some well-known songs, but the real surprise was his songwriting. Several of his own songs will stay with me for a long time. He was backed by a wonderful band (who has also played on "Nashville") including a fantastic female singer/fiddler. He played for over two hours and stayed to sign autographs until the Birchmere closed - being generous with his time with everyone who waited in line. I hope he comes back soon and I would recommend his concert to any music lover.

Charles Esten (Deacon on Nashville ABC) is an incredible live performer. This was my third time seeing him live, but first time all on his own, and he did not disappoint. The band was so skilled (Sixwire) and Chip offered a perfect blend of high-energy songs and soulful country ballads, while also balancing music from the show, lots of his own great music, and a handful of covers. He told stories about songwriting between performances, giving insights into how each song came about. This was a very special event as it was his first at The Birchmere in the town where he grew up. It was clear that at least half the audience were people who knew him or his family. I truly hope he releases an album of his own music soon. Favorite songs/performances were This Town is Ours Tonight, When Trouble Comes (duet with the incredible Kenzie Wetz), Undermine (duet with daughter, Taylor) Home by Suppertime, He Ain't Me, and It's the Same Damn Road. Chip is a humble, open, inviting, funny, and engaging performer. It is clear he loves the music and his energy is infectious.

SO GLAD y'all booked him. Have enjoyed his talent going back to the 80's and was so thrilled that he "came home" to sing for us!! Such an awesome talent!

Awesome!! Amazing!! Best ever!! My husband and I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the Charles Esten concert at the Birchmere on Thanksgiving Eve. He is a wonderful songwriter, singer, and all around performer! He and his band from Nashville played one great song after another for two and a half hours without a break. Charles has a rich, soulful voice and he delivers each word of the lyrics from deep in his heart. We especially enjoyed the songs he wrote and performed from the TV show "Nashville!" After the concert, he stayed and greeted each member of the audience with smiles, pictures and autographs for over two hours!!!! (He even autographed an extra photo for my sister in PA who is battling rheumatoid arthritis and couldn't be there---he is definitely sincere, genuine, and compassionate). Really enjoyed meeting his wonderful family--so kind and warm!

Chip is the real deal. He's not only an outstanding songwriter with a first-class voice, but he's also a fantastic entertainer. Chip really excels in the live performance setting, starting out strong and getting even better as the night goes on. Chip's band, Sixwire, is chock full of top-shelf Nashville session players, and a great match for a performer of his talent and quality.

Chip was wonderful, surrounded by family and old friends. He loves what he does and loves the fans. He really puts all of himself into his music. Stayed around to take photos and sign autographs....love him.

Great show! Great energy! Nice mix of songs from Nashville and original work.

I loved the show! They put on a great show. I was unhappy when the concert ended. I hope they are in the area again.

The show was totally amazing. This group of young musicians/artists have SO much talent. We especially liked that no one person hogged the stage. It was nice to see each artist perform a song then go introduce the next. The duos were awesome. Claire Bowen's voice is just as smooth and powerful in person as you hear on the show. The finale with all the artists was an added touch.

It was good to see these people live. The mix was good, with them switching off after every song or two. It was good to have Will Chase there, with the others scheduled to perform.

Loved the Nashville concert! The only thing that could have made it better would be to have "Rayna" and "Juliette" on the tour. Still, "Scarlett's" rendition of "Black Roses" alone was worth the price of admission, and the Tower holds lots of fond memories. Great show!
