Hal Ketchum Tickets

He is an amazing singer and seems like an amazing man. So happy to have been able to see him again!

Good to see him again. He has been through alot and his voice and songs were just as good this time as before. Susy was great too.

Love her personality, music, engaging show. Suzy has a wonderful repertoire of songs and a beautiful beautiful voice. Her musicians are very talented and she always puts on an A++ show. We see her every time she appears at the Birchmere. Hal Ketchum was very entertaining, but he talked too much. He had a wonderful voice and very good music. The show was excellent. Would have liked them to sing a song or two together since both a very talented artists.

Another unforgettable night with Hal and Kenny - as always he is so easy to listen to - he makes you feel like a friend with his personal introductions to his songs - just a relaxing evening. My husband and I look forward to our night at the Birchmere every six months, enjoying a good meal and good music.

As always, Hal and Kenny were beautiful! Hal has the voice of an angel, we are never disappointed when we see him play!

I have long wanted to see Hal Ketchum and although he comes to town somewhat regularly it just hasn't happened. My fiance took me for my birthday and we loved every minute of it. The Birchmere is a great venue with a nice menu. We were fortunate to get seats fairly close to the stage so we had a great view. Having seen several artists from the 80's/90's I was hoping that Hal would have retained some of the magic of his voice. We were both pleasantly surprised to find that he hasn't lost a single beautiful note. He chatted about overcoming adversity and battling MS, all that could have affected his voice - and yet he sounds almost unchanged from the height of his career. I recorded part of one song on my iPhone and the next day we compared it with the original. Almost no difference! Both Hal and Kenny Grimes kept the audience laughing, clapping and singing with their excellent performance.

We are long time fans of Hal Ketchum and attended many of his Va shows thru the years. We have attended 3 Hal Ketchum shows at the Birchmere over the last year: the first was last Jan for his debut show here in Va since his serious and debilitating complications from MS and his long personal struggle to overcome awesome odds to return to song writing and performing while trying to manage the ongoing pain. The shows were last Jan, last Aug, and last weekend. The improvements each time have been dramatic and he was back to his awesome self Sat night. He sat on stage playing his acoustic guitar and singing beautifully for over 1:30 straight with Kenny Grimes, an awesome acoustic guitar player, accompanying Hal. No band music to drown out that incredibly talented voice as he sang so many of the ballads he has written. We will go to every show Hal puts on at the Birchmere in the future even though we drive up from Williamsburg to do so. As for the Birchmere, we love the venue! Fabulous sound system, great dinners before the shows and such friendly and attentive wait staff. Small enough that all the tables are good; all shows general admission so you pick your table in order of arrival. I watch their extensive calendar of shows and love to attend there whenever we can. I believe this year is their 50th anniversary- what a music treasure in Alexandria Va!

his voice is as good as ever, his dialogue with the audience is very entertaining

Went to see Hal Ketchum Saturday night. He was engaging, his voice and songs are still great. My only "criticism" ( and I use quotes because it's pretty minor) is that he was kind of low energy. I'd definitely see him again, though.

Once again, Hal Ketchum and the Birchmere provided an excellent concert event!! Worth every penny! The service staff of the Birchmere were very polite and attentive.

The show was great. Hal seems so relaxed and comfortable and is a great story teller. Kenny Grimes is an excellent guitarist and the two together were phenomenal. Highly recommend!

This show was amazing! I have been a fan of Hal Ketchum for years and have attended many of his concerts. I have missed him over the years that he has been gone and was go glad to hear that he sounds as good as ever! His voice is as clear and strong...and beautiful...as it ever was. This was a very intimate show - he told stories and jokes and played music for over two hours, just him and another guitarist. One of the best shows I've ever seen! Welcome back, Hal - can't wait to see you again!

Hal Ketchum is better than ever!!!! Saw him at The Coach House last Friday night and went back for more on Sunday at The Canyon. I cannot get enough of this man and his music!! His talent is beyond measure and it deeply touches my heart and soul! Counting the days until he's back in Southern Cal again......

Hal Ketchum captures hearts with beautiful song-writing and a voice of an angel!

I went to see Hal Ketchum at the Birchmere last Saturday. This was gift to my mom for her birthday. I had heard a couple of songs of his but he was not someone I would have seen on my own. So now found out hes writes and he played a couple of his new songs which were good and he was very funny too. All in all i had a great time which i always do at the birchmere and i probably would see him again.

The Birchmere is a great venue. It's an intimate room, with not a bad seat in the house. The acoustics are amazing. Hal Ketchum still has one of the great voices in country music, although his songs are often closer to folk or pop than country. He is a gifted songwriter, with a smooth, honest voice. He peppered the songs, old and new, with stories about the songs. My only critism is that I would like to have had a few more songs and a few less stories.

Hal Ketchum is getting better with age. He was significantly stronger than when he was here in January, and that was a very good show. Kenny Grimes, playing lead guitar with Hal, was incredible. They make a very enjoyable team. And, as always, the Birchmere is the best place to see a show.

Hal Ketchum was already past the typical pop star age when he signed his first record deal at age 38, and he's faced some challenges since then- but he's mastered the music more than I ever expected. I came to the concert hoping to hear some old favorites, and to see how he's recovered after some rough times. His personal story is inspiring, but that's not what blew me away. I expected his greatest hits, and I'd forgotten how many of them there were until I started hearing people shout out requests. I must've had a dozen "Oh, yeah, that one's really great!" moments. Hal also gave us a sneak preview of his new CD, due out in October. I am already looking forward to the new CD, and I very much hope that the radio stations and the public rediscover how very much they miss Hal Ketchum, just the way I did. An exceptional connection, the kind of thing that only happens at the Birchmere- a young lady came up to Hal and told him that he had been her very first concert, back when she was 5. The concert was her birthday present for turning 24, and she told him that she'd been a fan for all that time. He was gracious and kind, deeply touched by her- and he dedicated "Hearts are Gonna Roll" to her.

This show was even better than the last - his voice was great - he sang right away setting the mood for a wonderful evening of music - the stories were funny and just enough to entertain but not bore - he makes you feel comfortable in his presence with the info he shares - the main focus was on his singing which is what I came for - it was nice to hear some new songs that will be on his upcoming CD. I look forward to his next visit to VA.

It is wonderful to see Hal Ketchum back at the top of his game after all the medical & personal challenges he conquered to make it back from being paralyzed, in horrible pain, and having totally forgotten how to play his guitar or read/write music. So happy for him. And what a fabulous concert. No opening act. No band to drown out the sound of his incredible voice. Just one backup very talented guitar player and himself. Sitting on stools, telling short stories about the new songs he has written for his new CD being released in October, fantastic guitar playing and that indescribably beautiful soulful voice filling the room at the Birchmere. The audience was silent as he sang, erupting into applause and yells of approvals at the end of every song. We live in Williamsburg and are willing to fight the I64/295/95/395 snarly stop and crawl traffic to attend every show by Hal Ketchum and other favorites that perform at the Birchmere. The Birchmere is a wonderful venue - great sound system, very good food and service, nice bar and waiting area until the doors open into the concert room with tables of every size - all with a good view of the stage and the performer the audience came to hear. We've been to many shows at the Birchmere and it never lets us down.
