Dan Bern Tickets

There aren’t adequate superlatives to describe this show. Dan Bern was as incredible as ever. I have been following his journey since I first had the great fortune to see him in the 1990s after the release of Fifty Eggs. He grabbed my attention from the opening notes of his first song and I was so taken that I stayed for the second show that night. It was evident that we were witnessing a special artist at work! This recent appearance was much like that first one. Only this time, I had the pleasure to introduce Dan’s live performance to a friend who saw him for the first time that night. While she occasionally had heard me singing along with his songs, she had not had the opportunity to attend a show. I cannot adequately describe the look of happiness on her face as she followed along and sometimes recognized a song that she had previously heard with me. We were “all in” from the first notes and would have stayed for as long as Dan was able to play. It’s hard to put it into words, but suffice to say that he still entertains, amazes, and immediately makes one realize that they are receiving a special gift presented by a unique and gifted artist. Dan has been a positive influence and I have enjoyed each time that I have been able to sit, watch and listen to him play and sing. It has been 27 song-filled to this point and attending his performances and having the ability to share his music with friends will remain an essential part of my life as I move forward. As for my friend, she enjoyed it so much that she had me accompany her to another one of Dan’s shows just days later. In short, this show did not disappoint. And it my experience, Dan Bern has never disappointed. If you get a chance, attend one of his shows. I’m certain that when it’s over, you’ll be glad that you did.

Dan never disappoints brilliant as always! Hope this tour continues in the spring with Gaines too was a great night !

I’ve seen him multiple times in multiple cities. Whether solo or with a band he’s always great. I feel lucky to know about his music.

Dan Bern is an incredible musician, a poet and hilarious. I've been a big fan for a large number of years, but his angry and impatient personality distances the fans/audience that love him. It was initially interesting to see him knock heads with his sound guy, but it was impossible at any point to relax and enjoy the concert since anticipation of his next outburst was constant. Again, he's a wonderful talent, but I've seen many wonderful talents and have never seen any performer repeatedly stop in the middle of a song to express his frustration and work with the sound system. The Ark is informal but it wasn't a practice session.

Dan Bern has witty lyrics, deftly handling deep topics in fun ways. His guitar work was great and he can handle many styles. He has a great catalog of covers he adds to the show and I can't wait to see him again.

Dan always puts on a great show, and this was no exception! He's talented and funny, and his songs run the gamut from serious and poignant to hilarious. This was a nice, intimate show--The Ark is a great venue for that! Lots of audience participation and singalongs, and lots of laughter. I can't wait until he comes back by!
