Johnny Reid on Tour
When Johnny Reid introduces a song, his natural Scottish burr is plain as day, but as soon as the Canadian country star — who moved to Canada as a kid — starts to sing, the North American spirit inhabits him. Reid's voice is full of classic country twang, but at the same time it bears a gruff brand of soulfulness that can sometimes make him sound like a country version of Bruce Springsteen. The band pumping away behind him sports a similar mixture of musical flavors, bringing a dash of rock 'n' roll and soul to Reid's countrified tunes. Never one to put on airs, Reid brings a guy-next-door vibe to his performances, no matter how big the venue, and even when he's got the crowd singing along in an arms-aloft anthem, he still has a way of maintaining an intimate connection with his audience on every song.
Johnny Reid in Concert
When Johnny Reid was a child in the small Scottish town of Lanark, it would have seemed incredibly unlikely that he would grow up to become a Canadian country music star — but that's exactly what he did. Reid was 13 when he and his family made the move to Canada, and it didn't take long for him to soak up the North American vibe that would one day guide his career. In 1997 Reid released his debut album, Another Day, Another Dime. It wasn't until his third album, 2005's Born to Roll, that things really began to take off for Reid; the single "Gypsy Soul" hit No. 12 on the Canadian country charts, and the album eventually went platinum in Canada. Solidly on the path to stardom, Reid went on to score a long string of hits in the years to come. In the process, he also managed to rack up an astonishing number of honors, including multiple Juno awards, and a towering heap of awards from the Canadian Country Music Association.

I love his music, this is my second time seeing him live in concert. I really enjoyed the show!! Great job to everyone that was involved to make this event happen!! Will go again if the opportunity arises. Hope to see you again Johnny Ried!!
An amazing evening where interaction was pure and intimate, funny, yet sincere. Love how Johnny truly cares about his audience always giving an outstanding performance!
Words cannot describe what an amazing performance filled with laughter, tears and a sense of peace! The venue was perfect and they were very accommodating ! Definitely, a night to remember! ❤️
The show was fantastic! Johnny is a true entertainer all around. This was my first time seeing him live and it won't be my last. My only recommendation would be for the sound crew to bring up the backup vocals a little. Much of the time we couldn't hear them. I know you don't want to over-power Johnny but they do need to complement him. Turn up the background vocals a wee bit please. Was a most ebjoyable evening and the three of us were so happy to have attended!
Johnny Reid was amazing. His voice and show were nothing short of beautiful. Great and intimate venue as well!
Loved the concert !! He can sing to me any day . Only thing I would complain about is the seating which is too tight . I know that can’t be changed but still so uncomfortable
The event was great we really enjoywd ourself just the seating was confined and not really made for plus sized people my sister could barely fit in the seats but otherwise was a great concert
I know Johnny is trying new music and myself(and other followers) love it when Johnny travels the stage. I missed his old music and when he did sing the older stuff I could tell the audience completely loved it! During these last two years and all the changes we’ve gone through it felt so good to hear older stuff. Love the show and I love Johnny Reid!
Fantastic show. Wish band was there as well. JR is simply amazing
As always, Johnny Reid was personable, fun, and very, very good! Getting in to see him, however, was another story. We did as Ticketmaster recommended and downloaded our tickets to our Apple Wallet. The Grey Eagle Event Centre unfortunately had no "reader" to scan our tickets and we were therefore directed to open them in our Ticketmaster App. Long story short, MANY, MANY people were unable to gain access to the venue for a variety of reasons (couldn't remember their Ticketmaster password, purchased tickets in more than one episode and could only access the most recent, etc.) After waiting in a long line for a long time we, among others, were directed back to the Box Office to receive printed tickets and then had to start all over. So very frustrating.
Amazing evening start to finish. First time to casino and so impressed with how friendly and efficient staff were. Food service was so busy but very efficient and food was great Beautiful space and very impressive Concert was fabulous and so much energy and fun. Johnny and band were so engaging from the beginning right through. Throughly enjoyed the evening* and look forward to another event. Thank you
Loved the songs, but was very disappointed with the sound quality. Found the words sung were lost in the loudness of the instruments. Need to check sound better so the voice comes thru
I bought tickets as my mother wanted to see Mr. Reid. Thank you for the great night !!!
My second time seeing Johnny Reid, he was amazing, I love how full of energy he is and interactive he is with his audience.
No matter if your into gus music or not, it is undeniable that Johnny puts on a great show everytime. He intetacts with his fans, especially the kids. He knows how to fill a stage with his presence. He tells stories and is just a spectacylat artist to watch. Im not a huge gan of all hus music, but I makr sure to see him everytime he comes to Calgary!
He is an amazing singer and performer! Fifth time we have seen him and can't wait to see him again!
Full of energy. Amazing voice. Awesome band. Johnny Reid has an infectious smile and Elvis’ dance moves. 🕺
Johnny Reid is the BEST person in the industry! Show was perfect. Parking was easy. Floor seats are way to squished! The whole row had to sit sideways, or hold their arms in front. Not comfortable for 3 hours. Staff all very nice.
I've been attending Johnny Reid's concerts since 2010 and have always thoroughly enjoyed the shows. The energy he gives and creates is second to none. This year though, I was disappointed how loud the music was which made it difficult to actually enjoy John's incredible voice. What a special moment when his daughter joined him for Fa la la la la! Dads and daughters are magic.
