Jeff Daniels Tickets

I love Jeff Daniels and I love Michigan so the two together are great. However, the show was a little scatterbrained, which is part of its charm, but overall, it was ok. I went to the show to see Shout Sister Shout and was sad that they only played 4 songs. We left after a couple of minutes into the second set. I would recommend the show to my friends if Shout Sister Shout and Steppin' in it were on the bill.

The show was really wonderful. The only problem was......it was difficult to understand the singers.....it would have been nice knowing what they were singing about. Jeff is such a wonderful entertainer and a great supporter of Michigan !!!!!

Actor, playwright, and sometimes musician, Jeff Daniels gave a great show last Saturday evening. His simple one man and a guitar style makes you feel like you are in his living room with several hundred other people, and you are just chatting and singing away. He gives you personal views into several amusing events in his life with this wife and three children, making you feel like old friends. He is proud to be from Michigan and says so in several of his songs. But the good feelings don't just stop with Jeff. This event is about inviting other musicians and performers from around our great state to show their stuff and wow the crowd with their distinct talents. From the outstanding harmonica and horn sounds and jazzy vocals of Shout Sister Shout; to the Klezmer sounds of Red Sea Pedestrians; to the poetry slam-jam of Community High graduate Paul (I'm sorry I forgot his last name). The instruments drowned out the vocals of Ben Daniels, the eldest of the children, so I can't say much about that set; Matt Watroba set me to tears with a one-song, special appearance with his "They used to play baseball here" tribute to Tiger Stadium. Beautiful.

loved the show. Very good variety. Rock band were very good musicians & Jeff's son seemed to have a nice voice, but everything was so loud it blurred into noise. Great choice of comedy, music etc. Especially loved the lady with the saxaphone & the harmonica player. I believe I have seen them before at a Madcat show.

Jeff Daniels does it well! He put together a variety of performances and between acts, he entertained the audience with his own songs that sometimes tell a story . . . and sometimes were just for fun. And fun it was!

He represents Michigan at its best. Guests were awesome!

I HAD BEEN WAITING ALONG TIME TO SEE JEFF DANIELS AND HE WAS GREAT ,SAT IN THE FRONT ROW WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR I AM GLAD HE IS OUR MICHIGAN SPOKES PERSON AND HE IS VERY TALENTED AND FUNNY GLAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE .I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MENTION HIS FREINDS SO MUCH TALENT HERE IN MICHIGAN THAT'S WHERE IT IS AT. VERY HAPPY AND IT BROUGHT MANY SMILES AND LAUGHTER IN THE HOUSE

All the artists were very talented and the acts seemed well put together. Jeff Daniels was very funny and a suprisingly good guitarist!!

Interesting and fun variety of music from Michigan artists!

Great show. Jeff Daniels surprised me with his musical talents of singing and telling stories. The Scottsville Clown Band kicked off the show and brought a lot of energy and excitement to the crowd. The other bands from MI were talented as well.

Very inspirational and fun! A terrific evening out.

This was a spectacular night, start to finish, but the standout was The Red Sea Pedestrians, a high-energy world roots music band from Kalamazoo. Some Klezmer, some folk music, some contemporary sounds mixed in make this one of the most fun bands I've seen in a long, long time. I look forward to their show at the Arc January 12th! Jeff Daniels has to be one of the nicest celebs to come out of Michigan-and one with the most affection for his home state. All these Michigan acts were terrific. Bravo, Jeff. And thanks for a great night.

Generally excellent. Jeff Daniels segments were terrific, with an accent on Michigan life and humor. Other acts were also based in Michigan (Shout Sister Shout + Red Sea Pedestrians + Scottville Clown Band) and that was a nice mix of styles. However, the Ben Daniels Band (Ben is son of Jeff) were just very loud and nothing else. I probably will go again next year if there is a 5th Jeff Daniels and Friends.

Expected a "pleasant night out" and was surprisingly entertained and moved. Sincere thanks to Mr. Daniels for all he does for Michigan. I was hooting and hollering for Michigan Ave., Detroit, and all the other references to the "Michigan in me". Special yays for Paul Princen, Matt Watroba, and the Red Sea Pedestrians!

This show was an incredible experience, sort of a modern version of the Grand 'Ole Opry in its format with a much beloved star moderator using his influence to showcase other talented acts. Jeff said he wanted to make us smile, and from the start he did that. Having heard JD's Cd's and seing him on TV, we knew that he was a talented singer /songwriter & accomplished guitarist. What we were unprepared for was his incredible abilty to fingerstyle pick out rhythms,& melodies automatically, that extended for up to 10 minutes while he sang and told his stories that were funny and heart warming. While the supporting acts were all fantastic in their own right, it was Jeff that we went to see and his special messages to us Michiganders were heartfelt and personally recieved. We attended with two other couples who we socialize and play music with occasionally and it was a special time for us too.

I looked forward to seeing this show. Especially with great 3rd row seats. It would have been much better with more Jeff and less friends. Having seen and heard Jeff many times on Letterman and Bob & Tom radio shows, I know how clever, funny and talented he can be. That was not on full display at this show. One of the "Friends" acts was very good. (Shout Sister Shout) Especially the lead singer and the harmonica player. The big Clown Band was mildly entertaining. The totally lame insertion of his son Bens pseudo reggae rock band was as painful to watch as it was to listen to. As well as as his other son the roadie. I understand the pressure that must exist for him to include family, but it didn't work for me! I definately would not drop another $150.00 to see this again.

this was our second year...both years the selection of acts was excellent. Liked the variety. It's good to trust Jeff's judgement.

Very entertaining especially getting to see Michigan talent.

Jeff Daniels exhibited once again not only his breadth of talent but the rich warmth of a nice guy from Michigan. Watching him perform, I was brought to tears not only by his deep and meaningful support of our State of Michigan and our institutions and peoples, but watching the joy and pride he gets interacting with his children and the other performers (and the audience). And I am always brought to tears of joy, laughing at the same material he performs, with his ability to make it all seem new and like the "first time" I have ever heard it. We have seen Jeff in the movies, on Broadway, and in concert and he never fails to amaze.

Personal, regional, international, a skilled musician, talent scout ,musician, balladeer,...like a cross between Garrison Keillor, Arlo Guthrie, and Victor Borge. This man rules the stage and ....the delivery...
