Charlie Musselwhite Tickets

The show was fantastic, from start to finish: soul-and-body-grabbing blues. The lead guitar was thrilling, the band tight, and Charlie iconic! The casino was gracious about letting the more adventurous of us dance in the aisles, but the sold-out audience was mostly stuffed into small, tight chairs with no room to breathe. The venue was bad - a dance floor is necessary for this kind of music.

I've seen Charlie Musselwhite a couple of times, always a great performer and great musician. Unlike many performers he seems pleased to interact with the audience and seems to be having as good a time as we are. The North Mississippi Allstars were an added bonus, fantastic musicianship!

The sound man was MIA for the first two thirds of the show. Way too loud murky sound from two musicians (two-fifths of the North Mississippi All Stars) trying to sound like a whole band was over amplified, muddy, and poorly mixed. The stage seemed to be set for a similarly mishandled upcoming set by Charlie Musselwhite. And even after Charlie's set was underway the sound stayed muddy, unbalanced and too loud. But thankfully within a few songs the sound board guy, or SOMEONE in the building, figured out the adjustments that needed to be made and, for the last 40 minutes of Charlie Musselwhite's performance, there was magic. Charlie has a sweet frail honest genuine bluesman presence on stage - and in life - that is a pleasure to behold. Thankfully we were able to experience that before the evening ended in disaster at the hands of the sound system.

Blues at it best! Want to call it Chicago Blues...not sure if that is the technical name. Brought me back to memories of the Old Fillmore and Paul Butterflied.. The band stayed after to sign CDs. Very personal.

Charlie was amazing as usual and the North Mississippi Allstars had great stage presence. My biggest complaint was that there was no place to dance. Blues band without dancing? Isn't that a sin? Also - I couldn't understand the lead singer to the Allstars - not sure if that was just him or the mic.

A first time for me seeing Charlie Musselwhite and was so impressed by this mans talent! Loved the "opening act", North Mississippi Allstars, and everything just flowed. Wish we could of danced though! Love the Uptown Theater in Napa

We have seen Charlie Musselwhite five times and we swear he gets better every time. How is that possible in that he is today's icon for a bluesman! Professional, tight and exploding with energy; Charlie and the boys just blasted the crowd with THE BLUES!!!!!!

The act with all three guys was great, especially John Hammond. The reason for the 3 star review was the venue

I went specifically to see John Hammond and was pleased by the mix between him, James Cotton, and Charlie Musselwhite playing together and solo. The Tralf is a great venue, practically no bad seats. Feeling really old though. The first time I saw John Hammond in concert he was 20.

Band members were good. The show was only One hour and and fifteen minutes very disappointed.

Wow! He's better then he was 40 years ago. His lead guitar player is so tight it's unbelievable. I had to get up and dance - my body just couldn't help itself! Don't miss this one.

Great show. Nice to see two acts on the same stage. Charlie played most of his new CD. Awesome! Matt Stubbs (Guitar) is a real talent. Only wish the show could last longer.

Went with hubby, who was already a big fan, I wasn't sure what to expect or who we were really seeing. Must say, I was thrilled with the sound of his Blues harmonica playing! His group was fabulous, especially Matt Stubbs on guitar, and would love to see them all again. I am now as big a fan as hubby1

As if Coco Montoya's great guitar work and strong voice, followed by Charlie Musselwhite's mesmerizing harmonica weren't enough to satisfy a Blue craving, there was also the stand-out performance by Charlie's guitar man, Matt Stubbs -- a dose of fret board magic that took it over the top.

This was my second time seeing Charlie Musselwhite in concert, and I'm looking forward to attending more shows. His harmonica playing and musicianship is superb, and his songs have a wonderful sound and feel to them. His band is tight and talented, especially Matt Stubbs, the guitarist. Wow, what a talented person! The concert was a bit short, but that's to be expected given the venue was a casino (they don't like their customers away from the tables too long).

Great show. Charlie sounds fantastic. He's a living legend and a must see for any blues fan!

Charlie Musselwhite is a great stage presence and all-time top blues harpist. Brought a smile to everyone's face.

It was an enjoyable evening. Charlie was great. Lots of different harmonicas. Ladies sitting behind us were a little too loud. yelling during the middle of songs. John Hammond was a little too subdued for me.

It was wonderful to see and hear Charlie again. I am a big fan of his. I am so happy that he keeps coming up to Portland to see us :-) Charlie is so unpretensious that he sets up his own case sets a mellow vibe from the start. Once the show started it was blues rock hopping. Young buck Stubbs on the guitar was awesome. Charlie and his harmonica and smooth voice made the evening perfect.

Charlie and his band were SMOKIN' on Halloween at the Aladdin. Of course he's THE MAN on the harp and his voice was in fine fettle. All in all, one of the best blues concerts I've been to in a very long time. I hope he won't wait too long to return!!
