Jonathan Coulton Tickets

Coulton is and was AMAZING! If you have the chance to see him...do it!!!! Scarface singing Skullcrusher Mountain was a fantastic treat!! GO SEE!!!

I so wish i could live on Jonatan Coulton's planet full time. Even his henchman thinks I'm crazy!

As always, JC entertains no matter what happens onstage. The energy the orchestra brings is invigorating. Happy to have gone again.

Seeing him live was super-fun! I had a really great time. He played all my faves!

After seeing Jonathan Coulton open for They Might Be Giants in March, I had to see JoCo again! John Roderick opened with some really cool folk/rock tunes. I had only seen him in the duet Nemeses with Coulton and I was impressed with his presence and his voice. He has a great sense of humor, too. All in all, a great set! Coulton had a great show, too! The only problem was the audience. They're such hardcore fans that they sing all the words out loud. I came to see Coulton sing, not some IT guy from Somerville. It was still fun and entertaining! My favorites were Roderick and Coulton doing Nemeses and Coulton's I Crush Everything which he did solo with just an acoustic guitar. Really pretty. I would like to have heard I'm Your Moon, but you can't have everything. A fantastic show! Such a winning personality, too!

The cover of Bad Company's "Feel like Makin' Love" was timely and sensitive.

I have been a fan of Jonathan's for a couple of years now and can't believe that this is the first time I'm seeing him! The concert was great. Starting with John Roderick opening (Not moving to Portland was a highlight) the night was great. The crowd at the concert was excited happy and not at all like the rock club patrons I was used to. Everyone sang along and got into the music (some maybe a little too much). Besides not playing Ikea and a few other favorites the night was perfect! I can't wait to see him again.

A wonderful show in every way. Great setlist, and the songs work beautifully live - hadn't had this much fun in ages.

JoCo never disappoints, and with a full set, we were enthralled for almost four hours and would have been for an hour more. If you like nerd rock / pop / folk, this is your man.

The opening act was dreadful. There was no seating. Everyone stood around on concrete floors with concrete walls and the worst acoustics you have ever heard. It was loud, distorted, and absolutely a dreadful event venue. Having said that, JoCo is great. I love his music. And at the Paradise I can now say I'm a fan of his drummer, too. If I didn't already know the songs I would not have been able to understand any of the distorted lyrics. This was the sound system from hell. But people enjoyed "listening" to or at least hanging out with JoCo for a bit. Only a die hard fan would put up with it.

I've seen JoCo at the Birchmere three times previous and it's always been acoustic. I wasn't sure how I'd enjoy a show with a full band, but it was phenomenal! He still threw in small talk/banter in between songs, his bandmates were fantastic musicians with great energy, and John Roderick made the perfect opening act. I would buy tickets to another show like this in a heartbeat!

This is the fourth year in a row that I've seen Jonathan Coulton play the Birchmere, and he never disappoints. His songs are great, and the venue caters perfectly to his style. The only downside to this show was that Paul & Storm (comedy musical duo) didn't open for him; instead, it was an indy/emo singer/guitar player. And while he wasn't bad, he wasn't as entertaining as Paul & Storm always are. My only other minor complaint is that the food and drink selection at the Birchmere is pretty limited and expensive. Anyone wishing to avoid carbs should eat beforehand, and water is $2 a bottle (with tap water not being served).

Very entertaining. Had a very enjoyable night, worth the 4 hour drive.

This was my 5th trip to see JoCo, 3rd at the Birchmere. This is the first time I've seen his "band", with drummer and bassist, and I have to say the sound sucked like the speaker at a fast food drive-thru. Musicians all were excellent, but the main point with JoCo is the words to the songs, and at least half the songs were unintelligible. I guess the sound board guys thought they had to crank up JoCo's mike to stand out over the music, but it just turned it to mush. The only electric song that could be clearly understood was SkullCrusher Mountain sung by "Scarface", an apparent roadie whom I suppose JoCo insiders are supposed to know and recognize. Also, both he and John Roderick, the "opening act", spent a lot of time tuning guitars. I thought by now they could have afforded extra guitars and have the roadies tune them like real bands do.

Johathan Coulton, his orchestra (including Ringo & mandolin/bass player,) AND John Rocerick (who seems to have been having a spot of trouble w/ the Hilton,) were PRIMO!!! Oh yes, and let's not overlook Scarface with his angelic voice.... Fantastic! Great fun, such drollness, so much that went over my head... alas. Still, all made for a memorable outing with my daughter who even scored a picture (taken with our Hot Pink Aldi's special camera,) with the Yale man himself. Code Monkey likes you, A LOT, and so do we. Thanks!

this time with a full (and electric) band, but still great. as was John Roderick, the opener.

JoCo performed a mix of some of his most popular songs and songs on his new album, "Artificial Heart". His sense of humor, voice, and playing were all on target. His assistant, who he introduced as "Scarface", sang "Skullcrusher Mountain", and did very well with it.

I wasn't sure I'd like Jonathan Coulton with a band, but, boy, what an enhancement! The drummer and bass player really know how to put on a show. Much personality here! His opener, John Roderick, is also someone I definitely want to see again. The chemistry between them made for a fun evening.

I saw the opening concert of the Artificial Heart tour. As a parent and the driver for my teenage son and his friends, I was expecting an OK show. The show was very fun to watch. I had a surprisingly good time and enjoyed the show thoroughly. It says alot about the performer when the people in the audience that don't know the music so well have a great time.

Paul and Storm were amazing, as always. Getting to hear Jonathan Coulton with the band was different - it is very loud, like a rock show - but he also did some acoustic and some with the ZenDrum.
