Javier definitely earned my respect as a musician, songwriter, and especially a SINGER! He was very entertaining to the audience as well.
I've been a fan of Javier since his debut in 2003. His voice is still amazing and his set list was good. His stage presence and setup was good for the intimate setting and his vocal delivery was peerless. I would have loved to hear some of his earlier work as he mostly focused on his recent release. Overall, a very good show and I recommend it for any true music lover.
great concert! best singer I have ever heard! His set list was perfect, good mixture of his and covers.
I've been to lots of big name concerts ( Alicia Keys, Maxwell, etc) and this was easily to best concert that I've been to. His voice was amazing and I liked that he kept it simple (band was not overpowering and he did several songs with acoutics guitar only) so that you could appreciate his voice and music. His original songs were great as well as his remake of some of the popular songs. I never saw the season of the Voice that he won but I am definitely a fan and would go see him again and again. I also like the variety of his music ( rock, alternative, R+B to country).
I admit I watched "The Voice" with my wife last year and thought that this guy Javier was going to be good. When I saw that he was going to be at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta on Valentine's Day, I thought that it would be a great place to take my wife so she could see him. Well I was right and she enjoyed the show. What I was wrong about was thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it that much. Javier was truly amazing and will be a huge, huge name in music for a long long time. He played songs from his album as well as a few covers including one that will be in my Favorite Moment section along with Michael Jackson, Coldplay, and Bill Withers. The place was packed and you can just tell when he sings, there is emotion and pride in what he is doing. GO JAVIER and keep it up so that one day we can always say we saw that guy in this little venue and look at him now.
Javier rocks! Highly recommend going to see him at earliest opportunity!
This concert by far exceeded my expectations! I was a an before, but seeing Javier live turned me into a super fan. He kicked off the show with an acoustic version of "I Will Always Love You" by the late Whitney Houston. It was a beautiful tribute. He did several songs from his latest album. But the covers were why made the night unforgettable for me. Javier Colon has the amazing gift of taking a great song and making it spectacular. His incredible range and mind blowing vocal runs really pushed the songs to another level. He covered James Taylor, Peter Gabriel, Coldplay, Adele, and Michael Jackson. I would have paid triple the price to see this show. The venue was small an intimate. Perfect for a show like this. Best Valentine's Day ever!
Javier did a great job as a concert performer and entertainer. The warm up/opening act was also very good. Javier sang some of his stuff, but also a lot of well-known songs, so the audience stayed engaged. We even got to do a little bit of audience participation. The venue was great, too. 1st time there, and I was pleased at how close we got to the performance. Prices for refreshments were great, too.
I go to 10+ concerts a year, and this was by far one of the best I've seen in some time. Variety Playhouse makes for an ulta personal experience, and JC was amazing.
Javier Colon was absolutely amazing. He performed a bunch of original music both from his new album "Come Through For You" and from his earlier albums, as well as music that he was well known for on NBC's The Voice (Time After Time, Fix You, Man in the Mirror). His band was great, but his voice was even more powerful and amazing than I remembered from the show. All of the riffs were spot on, his range was unbelievable, and overall the entire concert was awesome. Plus, the two people I went with and I ended up moving from 1 row away from the back to the 14th row because the show wasn't even sold out and the ushers at the Keswick Theatre allowed us to. They were awesome, Javier was awesome, and I will definitely be seeing him again!
This show turned out to be even more amazing than I anticipated! Javier of course did not disappoint. He did original songs off of his new album, as well as covers that he performed on The Voice. He interacted a lot with the crowd and his band, which made it even more of an intimate feeling. The two artists that opened the show, Kevin Daniel and Ernie Halter, were both amazing. They both performed acoustically and without a doubt gained a lot of fans that night. I would without a doubt go to see all three of these guys again!!
My girlfriend and I couldn't have been happier with the performance, from the opening act to the very end of Javier's performance. All the performers had fun with the crowd and when it came down to singing they made it worth our hour plus drive to the Keswick Theatre. It was great listening to the guys tell stories between songs and interacting with the crowd, it was nice to see such humble guys up there having fun, it was obvious they were having the time of their lives.
As everyone already knows, Javier possesses remarkable talent much of which we haven't seen yet. In watching his performance you realize that he is so good and that he still has a lot more music inside to give. I walked away inspired and with a new appreciation for music's future. Beyond all of that he seems like a genuinely good individual that stays within the lines... a true class act, and one of my favorite newer artists.
I'm still excited and the show was two nights ago. This guy should be playing in front of bigger crowds. He's got so much talent that it seems like just a matter of time before he is. The guy's voice is so powerful it just blows you away. He played a cover about one out of every four songs which was cool because even if you didn't know his material already you were familiar plenty of the songs he was performing. I have to tell you that his own material was terrific. Lyrics told stories with surprise endings and composition was truly unique. His stage presence was excellent as well. He is very charismatic and was directly responsive to the crowd in conversation. Bottom line ... go see him. You won't be sorry.
Javier was amazing!! Very genuine nice guy and so talented! Thank you for introducing us to Ernie Halter. What a talent! I am getting his cd's. You can tell how old I am. I still buy cd's!! Thanks for a great night!
Javier is world class, and every member of his band and opening acts are crazy-talented, funny, and seem like really cool people. I am so happy I got the chance to see this concert in a small venue.
We got to be part of the meet and great and Javier was so humble and honest about himself. He was so personable and made you feel like he really cared that you would want to meet him. It was great to get a signed EP too!
Entertaining, fun, talented, down to earth, AMAZING!!
Such a great concert! Small venue so it felt like a private event. One of the best voices I've ever heard. Can't wait til he comes back to Philly.
The show was wonderful. Javier was right on as usual, even rocking out and showing his smooth soul style. The openers were amazing and really surprised me right from the start.
