This was our first time seeing Jeff's solo act. He's a great story teller and his songs are fun. I love the Michigan tilt to his show. The whole show was very entertaining from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show.
Jeff Daniels is as entertaining, funny and creative as you could imagine. His songs portray moments in his life, like the Alan Parkway Lodge song, in a humorous and engaging manner. He creates a dialog with the audience that involves you by using such vivid detail that you can almost imagine the moment that created the inspiration for the song. And to go along with an awesome, creative songwriting style is a voice that can more than carry a note. I was a fan of Jeff Daniels because of his amanzing acting career and range of roles but I am now a super fan (the non-stocking type) that will look forward to the next time that my wife and I can spend a few hours listening, watching and laughing. PS. He sang a song about his wife being beautiful, You still got it goin' on, well during the show a tall attractive woman quietly settled into a lone seat and it was his wife Kathleen. She is indeed beautiful and though she did not make any indication who she was, it was even more fun seeing her reactions to her husbands act. After the show, my wife and I quietly approached her to thank her and her husband for such a great show and she was amazingly gracious and incredibly humble. Wonderful experience. Wonderful couple.
Jeff Daniels was funny and a good musician. Connected with the audience well and seemed to enjoy what himself as well.
Jeff Daniels puts on a wonderful show. Excellent guitar playing, story telling and singing. Oh, and did I mention he is Hilarious!
Loved the show....highly recommend to everyone....especially if you live in Michigan!!!!
Great show. Truely the definition of a one man entertainer. Great stories and he can really sing and play the guitar. Nothing overly political or slanted in one way or another. Just a fun, happy performance
This man is something else. It's like hanging out with a great storyteller and friend. Why does he do this???! Because he is so f-ing cool and down to earth. Very funny! Plus he's a home-grown Michigan man. He gets it.
Jeff Daniels makes us even more proud to be Michiganians. We had never seen him perform like this before and he blew us away with his guitar playing, singing, and story telling. Even though we live in the Mt. Pleasant area where he has frequently performed, we drove through blizzard conditions over 150 miles both ways to see him in Kalamazoo's State Theatre. He definitely made the hazardous trip worthwhile. We would do that again for sure.
This was my third opportunity to see Jeff Daniels and was by far the best. Jeff is a wonderful storyteller, musician and ambassador for Michigan. Many throw-back-your-head-and-laugh moments!
There wasn't much publicity about Jeff's appearance in Ft. Lauderdale this past Friday night. Only saw the advertisement on the Ticketmaster website a few days before his appearance. Like many others, I didn't realize that Jeff had talent beyond his many movie roles so I looked up the Tickemaster reviews and found that almost everyone gave him 4 stars. The tickets were only about $30 a piece so we decided to take a gamble. Its a shame that the lack of publicity only filled about two-thirds of the theater. It turned out that the gamble paid off big time. It turned into a fun night listening to Jeff spin tales and songs. He even got the audience involved in a few numbers and everyone left the theater with a smile on their face. He stayed pretty much on target with stories and songs posted by previous reviewers. All in all a very pleasant surprise.
From the beginning, Jeff demonstrates why it is that people are mesmerized by his stories and music. He engaged the small crowd with colorful memories of his marriage, his travels, and his film credits. And he amused us with stories of being on the road, both funny and in times so sincere with special memories. His guitar prowess was extraordinary, with deft movements through the ballads, and downright power in the blues.
My husband and I have long been fans of Jeff Daniels the actor. However, we were introduced to Daniels the musician, song writer and storyteller when he performed at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC. Oct. 27. Daniels was very engaging and interacted with the audience as he spun his hilarious tales of Hollywood and home, intermixed with catchy tunes about life as a celebrity - "The Dirty Harry Blues,' and "Are You as Excited About Me as I Am" - to teaching his daughter to drive, and taking the family on a road trip in "Recreational Vehicle." His songs are often humorous and sometimes poignant as they reveal aspects of life as Daniels sees it. What impressed us the most, however, (in addition to his persona as a regular guy) is his talent as a guitarist and vocalist. He is quite good, and can sing and play the blues with the best of them. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to catch Daniels' one-man show. It's top-notch entertainment that will make you feel good long after the evening has ended.
Jeff Daniels' show is not to be missed. He is an extremely talented musician, singer and songwriter - and a great showman! The audience was so entertained by his "stories told through song", on the edge of our seats throughout the show. His lyrics (and his music) are so original - touching, humorous, and universal. Songs are wickedly hilarious, then heart-stoppingly poignant. Found myself on the verge of tears, then laughing with him at the ridiculousness of some of his real-life situations, many that we have all experienced. This is a very personal show, and he shares himself, his life force, and his heart so very generously with those who are fortunate enough to be there. We have seen many singer-songwriter shows with quite a number of world-famous artists in the last several years, and his show is most definitely at the top of our list.
The music was wonderful, the lyrics hilarious, the evening unforgettable! I enjoyed every minute and laughed til my diaphragm hurt! I didn't want the concert to end.
For almost 2 hours, Jeff Daniels engages his audience in a quietly humorous way, sharing his funny life moments with clever and uncomplicated lyrics, while artfully and beautifully playing his guitar. We expected to enjoy the performance, but we ended up loving his style! We are now very much fans of the Live-Performance Jeff Daniels.
I did not know any more about jeff daniels than that he was an actor. When I saw the notice of the show in the paper, I was curious and immediately got tickets. Daniels's witty and touching performance provided a glimpse into the person and his life. He comes across as a very talented, down-to-earth person whom I admire.
Jeff Daniels was a delight. He's really quite talented as a musician which is surprising given that most of us know about him from his excellent acting. His songs tell great stories and his performance is welcoming.
I have a lot of admiration for people who don't "jump ship" when the weather gets rough. Michigan is going through really tough times and Jeff delivered a show that made us feel proud and hopeful to be Michiganders. Thank you for reminding us that we don't live on the Titanic...at least for one night :)
There are rare moments in life when an individual performer enters the stage, humbly engages the audience and the delivers a combination of heartfelt content, humor, and shares the stage with an eclectic set of "friends" - entertainers professional and amateur that provide that same experience. This was the character of this show - terrific, spirit lifting in an era of chaos and economic woe that engulfs us. After the show we were joyful, optimistic, and just plain feeling really good.
After seeing Jeff Daniels speak about his show on a local T.V. station I bought tickets and my husband and I had a great time. The musicians were all very talented and entertaining, as was Jeff . We were extremely pleased with the production. It was really nice to see Michigan talent showcased. We plan on attending again next year.
