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.
Awesome show best one ever. Will definitely go back to see Johnny. He is very funny and the band is amazing. The surprise show with Katie was awesome.
Johnny was amazing. He really kept the crowd happy and engaged the entire time. We loved his jokes and stories that had us all in a great mood and spirit. Hopefully he comes back
Very warm, friendly, liked the audience participation,
Johnny Reid has a voice unlike any other. He and his band are entertaining and spectacular! Definitely returning to his show next year .
Thoroughly enjoyed the music and multi talented musicians during Johnny Reid's Christmas Show. The original songs, mixed with some timeless classics, blended nicely. Johnnys energy on stage was matched by all his back up musicians. And his featured guest Katie Kadan blew us away with her vocals! The only constructive comment I would make about the show was that it was monochromatic with the exception of Johnny's glittering silver jacket and Katie's beautiful sequined red dress. It would have been nice to have more colour on stage. It seemed little dark at times. Over all I loved the show and look forward to Johnny's next tour!
Johnny always gives a spectacular performance! His storytelling throughout the show with his Scottish accent is something I could listen to all day. His high energy encourages the audience to sing along. Can’t wait until Johnny returns to Windsor again
The show was amazing as always. He is a fantastic singer and his band is also amazing as well. Will go and see him again any time.
Many great helpers to guide you every step of the way. Thanks Olg Stage was impressive Mobile tickets do not work for everyone! Many people don’t own a cell phone or couldn’t get connected to Wi-Fi. With help from the box office, we finally got into our seats. We need an option to print our tickets!
The Johnny Reed concert was amazing. He has so much energy. Keeps the house alive. Keep doing what you're doing, John. The tickets were a Christmas present for my mother, which is 78 years old. She loves Johnny Reid, she almost cried.
We have seen Johnny Reid a few times and his Christmas shows are always amazing. His shows never disappoint. He is quite the storyteller and each story touches your heart and sometimes will bring tears to your eyes. His wonderful voice and entertaining skills are fantastic. He gets the audience involved for some of the songs he sings. The variety of Christmas songs were great. He sang each song very well and they were done with heart. He acknowledges his band members during the concert. All in all, a fantastic show to get you into the Christmas spirit. Can't wait to see him again.
Amazing as always. You have come a long way from your nights at the Lion Pub in Lennoxville. Still have your moves!!!
Fantastic show….. Johnny is such a genuine gentleman and entertainer . Enjoyed hearing the many familiar Christmas songs. All musicians were very talented…and especially the piano player! Great musical entertainment!
It was an amazing show and performance! Such a personable entertainer.
Performance was great as always Event was well organized
Great show. What a talent. Issue with security. Have cough. One security person(english a issue) threw cough lasanges directly in garbage without explanation.Very rude to say the least. once through screening person with hand held screener let me keep 3 cough suppresants I had in my pocket. Not impressed with this particular abusive nature.
The show was great ! Loved the entertaining stories/lots of humour!
We were pleasantly surprised with Katie Kadan, the opening entertainer. She has such a great and powerful voice, hopefully we get to see her again! Johnny Reed's show was greatly entertaining as always.
But couldn’t it say somewhere on the ticket: “ bring your own chair” My ticket read row and seat number so I assumed there was seating arrangements. Not so! Big surprise for this old grandma .
What a fantastic entertainer. The man is a machine. His band was very impressive and we enjoyed him including them and their respective talents individually. Would go again anytime. Thanks Johnny & company! Val
