I go to many concerts. I have not been to a more satisfying show in years: the talent and the warmth of the performers shine through.
I have wanted to see the Prarie Home Companion show for years. When I found out David Rawlings and Gillian Welch were going to be on Saturdays show at the Rhyman, I had to go! What a show Chris Thile put on! My wife and I were both just blown away with the whole show. I have always enjoyed listening to the show but to actually experience 'Live from here' was awesome, and even more being in the Rhyman! Look forward to the next time!
No words to describe the talent level and musicianship going on...a truly moving experience.
Brad and Chris is a match made in heaven. This concert has easily become one of my favorites I've ever attended, and The Town Hall has the perfect atmosphere and acoustics to go along with it. Would definitely attend a show of this duo. Would highly recommend seeing your favorite artists at The Town Hall if they happen to play there.
Two master musicians get together in the parlor, roll back the rug, and decide to make some good music. A few stories are shared. A few riffs are stolen from J.S. Bach, Charlie Parker, Bill Monroe, and Bud Powell. There is virtuosic give and take. Somehow you and a friend are lucky to share a couch and witness this. Two hours later you wonder where the time went, yet time paradoxically seemed to slow down. A better world was possible, a place for speaking thoughtfully, listening to one's fellow, having a sense of humor and playfulness, and striving to be one's best self. Town Hall mimics this experience and no two people could have filled it more fully than Mehldau and Thile. No gimmicks, no special effects, just two guys enjoying themselves and an appreciative audience.
Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau were amazing! Master musicians.
I knew well Chris Thile's work with Nickel Creek and The Punch Brothers but was not familiar with Brad Mahldau, Together these two virtuoso performers, Chris on mandolin and Brad on piano were magical together, blending elements of classical, jazz, bluegrass and rock into a spectacular amalgram of music. Will definitely be buying tickets for Chris Thile's Prairie Home Companion shows in in December at Town Hall.
Two musicians, both of whom who are the very best of their craft, blending two decidedly different genres to create an undefinable new one. Thile and Mehldau have pulled off an absolute magic trick and left the audience with their jaws dropped.
This was an extraordinary concert. With just two musicians I was as enthralled and entertained as I have ever been in the forty plus years I have been attending concerts. I had been an admirer of the work of Chris Thile as a member of Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers, but this was far and away a musical experience I will never forget. And Bela Fleck is the consummate banjo virtuoso. I can't believe I have lived this long and not been more exposed to his work.
Incredible! Delightful music, great interaction with audience.
These two musical masters made magic Sunday night at the Southern Theater. They left me both satisfied and wanting more. It was an intense musical experience, and I am so grateful I was there.
The talent in just one of them is truly unbelievable... but to have both on one stage... ridiculous!! So good
Stunning, brilliant virtuosic. The two best of their age blazing the stage.
These two bring the musicianship & comeraderie in volumes rarely findable in midical groups of size - AMAZING!!!
Awesome show! Both are great artists on their own, even better when hearing them together!
I bought tickets for my fiancee, who is an avid Chris Thile fanboy. We were not disappointed. Both Bela Fleck and Chris Thile are among the most if not the most talented banjo and mandolin players in the world, and they did not disappoint. There was also lots of wittiness and jokes to round out the show!
We listen to A Prairie Home Companion on Sundays, so this was the best way to enjoy the show. Chris Thile is the best new host they could find!!!!!
A perfect evening. The musicians were amazing. Comedy was fresh and clever and fun. The show has changed a bit but lost none of the talent and originality. A treasure!
First time at the Ryman and it didn't disappoint! This was the second time I saw Chris and I'm amazed at his energy.
I was curious concerning the show as I was not familiar with musical guests. They were all very good
