Mason Jennings Tickets

I flew into Minneapolis to check out the town and to see Mr Jennings put on a 2 night run at the legendary First Ave. Both shows had the same format but differed with some songs being played. He came out and asked for requests, which the crowd had no problem yelling out almost to a deafening level. After doing the solo acoustic thing for a few songs he invited two of his friend on stage. One played bass the other was on the electric guitar, Mason stayed with an acoustic electric for the night except when he jumped on a piano for a few songs. Towards the end of the show his friends left the stage and he invited one of his brothers up to play a few songs with him. After playing a few songs from early in their collaboration, Mr Jennings (as in Masons' dad) came out to play with them. Mason brought back his buddies to plat bass and guitar to finish out the show. For the encore(s) depending which night you went to see him since he did one encore the first night but played more songs or the second night which was a tighter sounding set but not as long so he did 2 encores. Both encores where roughly the same but when he brought out Sarah Harmer to cover a John Prime Christmas song, man oh man that rendition tugged at my heart. The crowds were almost completely different from the 2 shows. The first night was way more talkative and almost hard to hear during the more quiet songs, while the second night you could hear a pin drop, but mind you they were both into the show and hearing everyone sing his songs with Mason just put the biggest smile on my face plus I also sang along. The big difference between the two nights were a piano version of Blood of the Man, more song requests, some sound issues with the mic on the piano and sound levels but didn't really effect the feel of the songs, and a meet and greet after the first night. Second night he covered a Lady Gaga song on piano, like I said earlier the set was tighter and no sound problems, and played a second encore with his brother and his band mates (the song was about riding your bike while your drunk at night) which was cracking everyone up in the audience. He was also more talkative the second night but not by much. In all it was a memorable good time and am so glad I got to see him in his hometown. First Ave is a cool place to see a show and to see Mason play there (who was having fun and on point) along with some of his family, Sarah Harmer and his band mates was a killer ***king show. It was a moving, sing out blast of live music fun. Thank you Mason and will never forget it.

Mason is so good in concert. I had only heard his album work, but every song is completely transformed live. He puts so much life into the music, can't recommend it enough.

Great Xmas Show! Mason delivers a great hometown show. Crowd was great, not to packed.

Mason always delivers, this time even moreso. I have enjoyed every single concert I have seen him at, and he just gets better and better with age.

Mason Jennings was awesome! He took requests from the audience, so there was a lot of old and new stuff played! He also brought his family on stage and Sara Harmer who was really good! Really good concert!

He provides such a great atmosphere and is such a real guy. His music is fantastic live and his light hearted loving attitude leaves me wanting more!

This show put me in the holiday spirit. Even though no christmas songs where performed, the stage was decorated very festive.

This show was absolutely phenomenal. I've seen quite of few of Mason's performances, and this one topped the chart. From taking requests from the crowd, to his (more than usual) banter between songs, he showed his love of the MN fans. Having his brother and dad there to join for a few songs was such a great addition.

Loved the entire night, from the opening act (Sarah Harmer has a great voice), the set list (including acoustic version of butterfly), and playing with his little brother and dad. The duet that he and his brother performed as a sort of ode to their father was beautiful. Highlight of the night was definitely a John Prine cover during his encore, where he performed "Christmas in Prison". Overall, great show.

Mason Jennings was AMAZING. His music was absolutely wonderful to listen to. His opening act Sarah Harmer was a great addition!

The concert was fantastic! A really laid back atmosphere and a perfect venue as always at First Ave. Mason brought some talented people with him including his dad and brother for a few songs. The performance was great. It's always fun to have an artist get on the stage and say, "So, what should I play?" Great feeling of trust between the audience and Mason. We showed up to the concert a bit early so we got pretty good spots near the front and things were going well and everyone around us were super nice and relaxed until 3 obnoxiously drunk girls came elbowing their way up to the front. They were mashing into people trying to sway and dance to really mellow music. I couldn't understand it. Some of the most rude people I have ever encountered. They didn't care about anyone around them and it really put a damper on the evening. Everyone around them was completely annoyed and some were on the verge of fighting them. I wish people could be more courteous.

Was one of the best Mason Jennings concerts I've been too. Real treat to see him perform with Matt and his father. Would highly recommend seeing him if you get a chance.

Mason Jennings is just a talented artist. Every song gets to you because of his passion! He is just the greatest!!

Excellent music........... Excellent venue................

Cloud Cult should have been the final band - they were fantastic. Mason Jennings was good and played some older stuff, but too slow to be at the end and keep my enthusiasm up. Venue was not the greatest...strange to be in a small city block.

Why doesn't whoever is responsible (the musician, setup staff, soundboard techs) get the sound level set so the vocals can be heard with the music? It seems the attendees can choose to see the performers and have their eardrums blasted out of their heads, or stand a block away and listen at a tolerable level. Half the people around me were wearing plugs, and the rest of us wished we were. It was terrible! It doesn't need to be so loud. Only Cloud Cult struck a good balance.

What an amazing night! This was the 1st time we saw both of these bands live and we were impressed. We could feel the emotion in Cloud Cults music. The night was beautiful, the crowd was just the right size and polite. We are going again next year!

It was a great day!!!!! The lign up was perfect. Bands like tapes and tapes could have used a little more play time. I could have listened to Cloud Cult all night. Next time if you can figure out how to keep this in park it would be perfect, or at least have more bathrooms.

Mason Jennings, Could Cult and Peter Wolf Crier were amazing. Too many drunks who didn't appreciate the music, though.

Cloud Cult was amazing as usual! Fans seem to really enjoy it. The entire listening area was packed, and people were having a great time!
