First time at the Newport-Great Venue. Jake was amazing and I did not realize what a great guitarist he was
I have been obsessed with Jake Bugg for the last year. He is without a doubt the best new artist I've seen in a loong time. His concert was amazing, he is such a great musician and really connects to the crowd. I had a wonderful time :-)
I absolutely loved the Newport! My brother has been telling me about it since the early 90's and I finally got to go. Jake Bugg was Unforgetable!!!
Jake Bugg sounded amazing. The venue was great. I would definitely see him in concert again.
Enjoyed every minute of Jake Bugg's show. His unique voice, strong guitar playing, and passionate lyrics drove the show. It was nice to see a show where every song was awesome. He even threw in a Neil Young song that got the crowd going. If you can, see him! Also, I kind of liked that Bugg plays straight through and doesn't take a bunch of breaks.
Such a young man with a crazy talented old soul! He reminds me of a young Johnny Cash.
Jake Bugg put on an amazing show. It's rare these days to find an artist who sounds 10x better live than on his record.
The concert was absolutely amazing! Of course, I am a Jake Bugg fanatic! The sound was great, the venue was great. I want to add that being a handicapped person, I was so grateful for the seating area, I would have not been able to attend if it weren't for the seating and I thank them for that!
From rocking to borderline country twang to emotional ballads every song was great. This youngster is the real deal.
Great show at my favorite venue, Variety Playhouse!
I had never been to Variety Playhouse before, and it was a little hard to find. Parking was ok. The facility itself was old and a little run down, but the drink and food prices were reasonable by comparison to other venues. Seating was decent. Sound was excellent. Silver Palms did a nice job opening. Jake Bugg was insanely good! He played about an hour and a half, and was outstanding. He has a commanding presence even at such at young age. His sounds was cd quality, although he varied the speed and style of some of his songs. He is a brilliant up and coming star. If you get a chance to see him, don't pass it up.
If you are familiar with Jake Bugg's work, you will know that he is extremely talented and writes amazing songs at such a very young age. All of that talent was definitely on display during his concert in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse. One word of warning: don't expect him to interact pretty much at all with the audience. He did not say too much during the concert and really just focused on playing. Just keep that in mind so you aren't disappointed if that is what you're expecting! Regardless of that he played an incredible show and his voice sounded just as good, or maybe even better, than it sounds on his records.
Jake Bugg is extremely talented and his guitar talents really stand out. His show is so pure and simple with him standing alone in the middle of the stage with the drummer and bass player on opposite sides. All six people in my party were blown away by him.
Jake Bugg is a throw back to classic rock & roll. His music is stripped down, bare bones & bad ass. If someone told me that Bugg was actually a contemporary if Dylan, Donovan, Cash & Young, I'd have believed it. I wasn't planning on going, but after my Atlanta concert I'm now heading to Asheville to see him again.
Amazing show! This guy is incredible, such a talented singer/songwriter/musician. Catch a show while he is still playing smaller venues, won't be this way for much longer. What is so cool as well is the kinds of people there, across the board, young to old, didn't matter. 10/10 for this guy - simply terrific!
Awesome sound and show for a crappy venue. Jake Bugg was amazing! Better than the album.
I heard about Jake after his second album was produced by Rick Rubin. I knew I had to check him out because Rick doesn't waste his time. I wasn't disappointed.....Jake was great live, and I was thoroughly impressed. He can pull off power punk, and then hit you with an acoustic power ballad that has the entire room singing. I still find myself waking up singing his songs......
I was pleasantly surprised by the very young and talented opening acts. They did great. Had never heard of either one but enjoyed all their music instantly. Jake Bugg was just wonderful. I hadn't heard his music much and was worried about whether I'd enjoy it but the entire set list was great and I'm a new fan in the biggest way now. The Ryman isn't too big so no one is really far from the stage.
What more can you ask for then seeing a show at the Ryman? How about seeing a truly talented artist. Although Jake Bugg's stage presence needs a little work, his sound doesn't, which is incredible given his youth. The few times Jake Bugg addressed the audience, or broke into a rare smile, the audience responded with enthusiasm. Hopefully as he matures and tours more, he will become more comfortable on stage. The upside is the entire show is jammed packed with well written, beautifully performed songs. I am thrilled to have had an opportunity to see this young artist (for the third time) live at the beginning of his career. I hope whatever it is that is inside of him that inspires his songwriting stays there for a long time.
I bought tickets for me teen daughters for Christmas and while i had listened to Jake Bugg's first album, I was not really "into" him. I came with an open mind, thinking my daughter's would at least enjoy the show. The Ryman is always special and this was no exception. He was absolutely amazing. such unique voice that is strong and haunting sometimes. His guitar playing was very surprising, since he is so young. His sets were very tight, and while he did not really speak a lot, he did not need to. Great show. See him if and when you can. Our seats were great, but the people who had to keep being reminded to sit down in the center aisle first row pew were very distracting. You know who you are, and you are terrible dancers ala' Elaine from Seinfeld.
