Jay Farrar Tickets

Wonderful show! So glad I saw these great artists come together.

New Multitudes Tour was great. Each artist did a solo song from their own band and really brought life to their Woody Guthrie album as a whole. The harmonies the guys played together were incredible. Very glad I went!

have not ben to a show that I didnt know ANY of the music & was blown away - such great vocals on all parts!

This concert was an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Jay Farrar and Yim Yames are amazing together. All of the performers are unbelievably talented and creative without any kind of soulless electronic sweetening and pitch intervention. In the tradition of Woody Guthrie -- real honest music from the heart.

My wife and I were so excited for this show. we showed up at 7:30 to wait for the doors to open. The webpage for the event led us to believe that the show would start at around 8:00 pm, but they didn't start until 10:10 pm! We had a babysitter for our daughter and had to leave at 10:30 pm to pick her up at 11:00 pm. We were glad to see the first 3 songs, but had to leave way too early. They sounded great. It was almost worth waiting 2 1/2 hours for 3 songs. Who was the opener again?

Don't miss out on this show if you have a chance to see it!

I consider myself a fan of excellent, serious music and when I first learned of this collaboration of what I considered a dream of Jim James (Yim Yames) and Jay Farrar I was so excited. I knew there was no way I was going to miss out on seeing these guys perform together. You do not want to miss seeing them! Especially musicians of this caliber and the fact that they have kept ticket prices so reasonable. I was front and center at the stage. They played through the album and then each played a solo song (with the others backing them up) and then they each played a song from their individual band. I'm a huge Jim James and Jay Farrar fan and now I have become an Anders Parker fan and a Will Johnson fan! Jim played bass the majority of the time. Will and Anders each played drums on the songs when they weren't performing their own songs and I tell you they ALL can shred and sing! The harmonies were simply incredible. The interpretations of Woody Guthrie's lyrics were awesome and the songs sounded contemporary but like each performers style -- which was very cool! It was fun to see their individual personalities too! They obviously respected each other and enjoyed playing together. Jim was the most outgoing in his usual style -- talking to the audience and being funny and exuberant. Then I had the good fortune of seeing them perform in-store at the Amoeba the next day! So Amazing! I have such respect for each of these musicians and I personally feel that I have now seen and heard the best --

I had a great time at this show. The Mayan is a cool and intimate venue. The band sounded great. They played the record from front to back, with little deviation. The encore allowed each of the four to come out and play one of their own tunes.

I walked away from the show, thinking "why did it have to end". The quality of performace was top notch, but the thing that really stuck was the energy and connection between the band. They looked to be very happy and greatful for where they were, it was contagious.

Great show. Very CSNY-ish. Not a huge fan of Son Volt or Uncle Tupelo but Jay Farrar is a monster. Jim James stole the show for me though.

Great show at a great venue. Jay was accompanied by Gary hunt on violin and electric guitar. Methamphetamine, Windall, Out of the Picture, Tear Stained Eye were highlights in my humble opinion.

Jay Farrar was playing with Gary Hart at the Turf Club on 11/5/10 and Gary brought a real nashville sound to Jay's music. His guitar playing was more country sounding than any sideman I have ever heard playing with Jay. Gary's fiddle and mandolin skills added a different texture to the songs too. If you are a fan of Jay, go see him on this tour. He takes his songs farther south than they have ever been.

Jay Farrar is always amazing - he is such a talented artist, musician and vocalist. His accompaniment (I'm blanking on the name, but I think he's part of Son Volt, and he did all the other instrumentation at the concert and was back-up vocal) was also great. I had heard the opening act, Allison Moorer, before, and she is very pleasant to listen to. But she provided a very nice surprise, which I won't reveal...

Having seen Jay Farrar many times over the years, I am convinced that he ages like a fine wine. His shows continue to amaze me and are even more enjoyable in a place like the Birchmere. Jay's performance was tremendous and his songs took on even more meaning when performed live. Mark Spencer proves over and over to be the perfect musician to accompany Jay on tour. As always, Jay pulled out an interesting cover in playing Buck Owens' "Girl Made In Japan" as an encore. AWESOME show!!!

I have seen Jay and Co. several times. I am always very impressed with Mark Spencer and this time was no different. Ben Gibbard was great! He is very upbeat and stays positive in spite of Jay's absent persona. The music was good. The drummer and bass were also quite good. After seeing this show I am more of a Ben Gibbard fan and I'm becoming less of a Jay Farrar fan.

Before going to the show, I was a little worried that Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar each wouldn't compliment the other's vocals very well. It worked out way better than I ever could have expected. The lyrics felt very truthful and I loved that it was inspired by Jack Kerouac. It was also a very nice surprise to see Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie on bass, along with two others new to me, Mark Spencer and Jon Wurster.

I have never been to a show at the Varsity before, and I was extremely impressed. It is a beautiful venue with tons of character, and small enough so that no matter where you stood, you got a great view of the stage. I will definitely be back for another concert there soon!! Jay and Ben were amazing. Every time Ben Gibbard opened his mouth I got chills. His voice is so amazing, and I couldn't believe I was actually seeing him live!! Jay's harmonica/blues songs were so cool...it was really neat to see how these two different musicians with two different styles collaborated to come up with something so original and beautiful. Awesome, awesome show.

I was disappointed with this concert. I was led to believe that it would be an indie concert in the Death Cab for Cutie-style (after all, it was Ben Gibbard!), However, I was greeted with a strong country sound and a dead-pan Jay Farrar playing an eardrum-splitting harmonica. While some of the songs weren't that bad--mostly those led by Gibbard--and there were some interesting ornamental instruments played by an older gentleman--electric guitar, synthesizer, and the colorful Hawaiian steel guitar--the concert was just not what I was expecting.

This was a great show! They played every song from their album in addition to some classics from Son Volt.

Great Show. Loved the steel guitar. Would see them again.
