We recently saw Mac McAnally at the Birchmere and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. He put on a terrific one man show. Both the music and his comments between numbers were so much fun. We enjoy this venue for lots of reasons: you can sit up close and easily both see and hear the whole performance, the food is very good and even when it’s full, it’s not so crowded that you can’t get in and out without long lines.
My husband & I wasn't sure what to expect but we absolutely loved this concert.
The intimate venue of Cactus Petes Gala Showroom was the perfect backdrop for an evening of songs from the master song writer. It was amazing to hear how the rural background of the young man from Belmont Mississippi has placed his stamp on the performances of Kenny Chesney, Sawyer Brown and Jimmy Buffet (to name a few). The relatability and likeable personality of Mac and Micheal was contagious. Then you combine this over the top skill with a guitar (Mac) with the percussion work of Michael Darken (also of the Coral Reefers) and the music was simply perfect. There was not a song that you did not recognise. But to be so close to the performance as compared to a full Buffet concert made this an experience that everyone should hear. That you Mr. McAnally and Mr. Darden for the perfect concert.
Mac McAnally didn't disappoint.. He put on a wonderful and very personable show. It's obvious why he wins Musician of the Year over and over! It's unbelievable to watch what he can do... Amazing!
I would definitely see Mac again. Warm, charming, great story teller and obviously amazing song writer, singer and musician.
What an amazing show, super cool venue (very organized) and overall wonderful night. Food and drink prices were very high but it was a special night out. Mac McAnally far exceded my hopes. Humble, funny and talented! Classy guy.
Wasn’t sure what to expect of Buffett’s sidekick except that he is a known master musician and songwriter His performance was that and more - the intimate venue and his music, storytelling and spirit made for a spectacular evening. See him solo if you can!
Second time seeing Mac at the Birchmere. Great show and venue. HOWEVER! The way they do their ticketing leaves much to be desired.
Mac was awesome. Great show. He is such a good story teller and the music is fabulous. He held a meet and greet for all after the show. The venue (The Birchmere) is cool. I don't think there are any bad seats. Food is okay but a bit expensive for what you get. Overall, Mac gets five stars and the venue gets four stars. A great night!
Mac McAnally knocks it out of the park! Fabulous musician, great story teller, and wonderful lyricist. I hope he comes back to the Birchmere soon!
Mac put on a phenomenal show. Eric was great too! The sound was wonderful and I felt as I was sitting in a friend's living room watching and listening to him sing!
First time seeing Mac. Besides a fabulous musician, what a wonderful storyteller! Loved hearing how songs came to be written.
Mac displayed his broad range of musical talents by singing songs from ballads, country, rock, past favorites. He also displayed his talents on many different types of guitars, mandolins, and piano, the venue was intimate and he had many conversations with audience. This was a delightful evening.
Mac McAnally is a great musician, songwriter and storyteller. The first half of the show was just him playing guitar or keyboards, the second half was with a drummer. He was very entertaining with his stories, and his playing and singing are first-rate.
Mac McAnally is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter with a lot of great stories. He has worked with Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffett so he has a number of great songs you are sure to recognize.
Of course we expected to enjoy Mac's show, or we wouldn't have been there. But we have to say that he exceeded our expectations. He's a great musician, told great stories, enjoyed the audience, and it was nice to be able to talk with him for a few minutes after the show. If you're on fence about whether to go to a Mac show, I'd recommend you go!
Mac mcanally is the bearded red haired giant who stands next to jimmy buffer in the coral reefer band. But his song writing talents go way beyond his summer/daytime job. We got to hear songs on solo acoustic guitar, electric guitar and piano. Along with the music Mac has written the crowd got to sing along with 3 favorite parrothead songs. Near the end of the show was an electric guitar version of heard it through the grapevine with Mac playing guitar and piano at the same time.
Mac surprised my wife and I with just how funny he is. Between songs he was telling jokes, funny stories about growing up and then some serious stories behind the songs that he has written and performed during the show. He engaged the audience throughout the show and came out to the lobby to greet everyone individually for autographs and pictures. He is very down to earth and a great guitarist and throws some piano time in as well - as a tribute to his mom. It was a great show and we would absolutely see him again.
This is the first time we've seen Mac perform solo and while we knew he was talented, he was over the top GREAT as a soloist. A few of the Coral Reefers and the SMU orchestra complimented his talents both as a singer, musician and songwriter but it was Mac who took the audience and us to another level............. and all for a good cause - EXTRA TABLE. Thanks for the evening Mac!
I've seen Mac only with Buffett... I can't wait to see him in a feature role again. He is a most incredibly talented individual, fantastic voice.
