About
The hip hop self-starters Macklemore & Ryan have gone far in a short time: they brought thrift stores to the masses with breakout No. 1 single “Thrift Shop,” released their debut album Heist to a No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200, and came out in support of same-sex marriage with gay rights anthem “Same Love.” Combining Macklemore’s thoughtful, funny verses and Lewis’ expertly crafted productions, their unique take on hip hop has struck a major chord with audiences, but what ultimately makes the duo a success has been their ability to write some of the year’s catchiest hooks. As a performer, Macklemore radiates positive energy and delivers his rapid-fire lyrics with crystal clear precision – Lewis takes a supporting role, cueing the beats, hyping the crowd, and engaging in the occasional crowd surf. The pair are on tour in 2013 in support of their debut album, and tickets are in high demand thanks to their reputation for dynamic, must-see live shows.
The Seattle-based duo first joined forces in 2006 when Lewis became Macklemore’s promo photographer, but the focus quickly shifted to music with the release of The VS. series, which included The VS. EP in 2009 and The VS. Redux in 2010. Their 2013 debut The Heist took three years to write and record, and it shows – from the extensive list of collaborators to the appearance of the Seattle Rock Orchestra, the record oozes originality and craftsmanship. In addition to producing, recording, and mixing all of their recordings, Lewis also directs their music videos, including the video for No. 1 single “Can’t Hold Us,” an epic seven-minute-long mini-film that earned them an MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video. As for the music’s point of view, Macklemore isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo of his chosen genre – from questioning the materialism of hip hop culture in “Thrift Shop” to lamenting homophobia among rappers in “Same Love,” these are songs that embrace diversity and endorse keeping an open mind.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Party all night long
by Jaicherry on 6/3/16Veterans Memorial Coliseum - PortlandFrom beginning to end, it was a concert all night long. Macklemore's commentary was funny and witty as he introduced each song. I didn't care for both of this opening acts which went too long in my opinion. I don't recall the names of the opening acts but I can appreciate that M&RL gave them a shot because apparently, they have been longtime friends from Seattle. Macklemore can deliver live which is difficult for a rapper but he manages to do so easily. Their band is super talented as well, my favorite is the trumpet player!

Rating: 5 out of 5 M&RL Killed it again!
by SoberBro on 6/1/16Veterans Memorial Coliseum - PortlandFrom the opening song "Light Tunnels", to the finale "Downtown", Macklemore a & Ryan Lewis presented what Hip-Hop can be when you take corporate interest out of the artistry. The genuine humility that Macklemore expressed was evident throughout the show, and I left feeling like I got my money's worth. I'm a fan for life!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Are Spectacular
by 381531F on 5/31/16Bill Graham Civic Auditorium - San FranciscoI attended the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis concert Saturday, May 28. It was the greatest. They are two great entertainers. Their lyrics, light show and performance was outstanding. They are both always making sure that their crowd is having a good time. Macklemore gives you the feeling that you are watching a friend perform.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were OFF THE HOOK
by musicmust on 5/31/16Bill Graham Civic Auditorium - San FranciscoMacklemore and Ryan Lewis put on the most amazing show I have seen in years! They brought every ounce of energy in their being to the stage and wasted themselves singing their hearts out and connecting to the incredibly appreciative crowd the entire night. We sat outside for 10hrs before the show - to get that kind of payoff, I would do it every day of the week!! Thank you MRL:)
