There was a taste of several styles, from comedy to sweet melancholy in songs of his own creation. He's a talented songwriter who really knows how to entertain and connect with the audience, a solid musical talent. This is a must-see.
The show had everything - talent, humor & heart. Jeff's down-to-earth manner was very refreshing. His original songs ranged from hysterical to poignant. Each of the musicians had the opportunity to display their talent. Jeff's daughter-in-law has the voice of an angel. The crowd's enthusiasm was palpable from the moment Jeff walked onstage. What a treat!
Jeff Daniels & The Ben Daniels Band was a great evening, and in a new venue for us. The repertoire was similar to other shows we’ve heard at The Purple Rose Theater, but several new tunes and guest artists added to the enjoyable show. Very talented musicians, and great vocalists. A good way to lead into the 2017 holiday season.
Jeff Daniels is of the most entertaining and talented artist you will ever encounter. Funny, sensitive, creative, exceptional guitar player, local and cool. His songs, his son and the talent musicians he plays with, his approach to life apparent in all of them can be funny, or as sensitive as a tear. My only regret is I wish he played around town more often. But then his giant acting career might object :) If you get the chance don’t miss a performance.
This was a wonderful show, musically masterful, vocally sublime. Jeff Daniels is similar to Harry Chapin and James Taylor in that he is a story teller who adds real quality music to inhance the story in sometimes comical and in other emotionally moving ways. The Ben Daniels Band is solid, complete and not over shadowed by Jeff but enhanced. Excellent night.
Didn’t know what to suspect when we went to hear Jeff Daniels during Thanksgiving weekend. He was great as was his band. Folksy but updated. Real entertainment!
fun to watch mouse run across the stage as part of his song
We really enjoyed this show. The music was bluesy/country, a good mixture of humor and emotion. All the musicians were stellar and the sound was awesome! It is rare to go to a concert and be able to hear each part clearly throughout the whole show. Well worth the price and time.
we have seen Jeff and the Ben Daniels band several times. Always a good evening out. Excellent music, very entertaining. A good night out with friends.
Seriously, we did not know what to expect when we bought our tickets. I am a fan of Jeff Daniels so we decided to check it out. So glad we did, had a great time. The music was great, he shared interesting stories and we had a lot of great laughs.
Daniels is so talented, clever, thoughtful & funny! My third time seeing him. Invited friends who were wanting tix to his next show during his first number!s/w
Great evening with a great man and his family - his entourage is talented and entertaining... highly recommend you take the time out to see Jeff Daniels
But Jeff was just waaaay too relaxed (sloppy). The kids were great. I prefer a show where it's just John and his guitar, but his son's group really brought the entertainment value Jeff was lacking that night.
Great entertainment. Really enjoyed the show. Good music and lots of fun. Great date night.
Very professional and entertaining from start to finish. Fab guitar work and great vocals. The only drawback was the reverb for the base guitar was way too loud and distorted.
Great show but his performance 2 years ago was much better in my opinion! Would have loved to have heard "Michigan, My Michigan."
Did not suck. Perfect sound:! Great bars with Tibbs on tap.
Jeff Daniels is the consummate entertainer and storyteller. He puts his heart and soul into every song, and along with his son's band his shows have expanded into an evening full of every emotion. Thank you Jeff and Ben Daniels.
Seeing Jeff Daniels in person has been on my bucket list for some time, and his concert this past Sunday did not disappoint. In fact, how could it? He has so many rich experiences to share, and he does it with such a great sense of humor. Of course his songs were wonderful--he is truly a gifted musician and songwriter. His son's band was loaded with talent, and even though it was definitely a family affair, with his (new) daughter-in-law) as the lead female vocalist, it wasn't too schmaltzy. In fact, the Michigan audience loved every minute of it.
When that name is brought up, indeed many people think of the movie made with Jim Carrey. But, those who have followed Jeff's career know that his talents run much much deeper. Most of his movie roles have been comedy but if you recently caught "The Martian", his part was more dramatic as the NASA administrator. His musical ability is top notch, as a musician, singer, songwriter and all around great entertainer. He puts on a show that is nothing but original works and tells stories that are equally entertaining. His son Ben backs him with an equally talented group of musician and his new daughter-in-law sings back-up with a very sweet soprano. Any one that has not seem him in concert, needs to do themselves a favor and do that the next time he comes to your town. It is a great show, a good time, and you do not need earplugs even in the first few rows! Sadly though, this was the last stop, in his home state of Michigan and at the Kalamazoo State Theatre, so it may be a while before he does this again -- as for me, I can't wait for him to return.
