Michael Franks Tickets

The energy and excitement of the fans, the intimacy of the House of Blues setting, and the music and talent of Michael Franks made for a spectacular evening! I don't remember when I have had such an upbeat, wonderful time at a musical event! The crowd was into every note, every beat. I will certainly go again the next time Michael plays that venue, and I will certainly take in more concerts at House of Blues! What a cool place to hear music!

WENT TO CONCERT WITH MY WIFE AND TWO OTHER COUPLES. ONE OF THE COUPLES HAD NEVER HEARD OF HIM. THEY AS WE TRULY ENJOYED THE SHOW. IT WAS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

I LOVE THE SHOW, IT WAS MY FIRST M.F. CONCERT. THE AMBIENCE, THE MUSIC, THE VENUE WAS SO GREAT.

Great concert! Michael Franks has so much control over his smooth, silky voice. And, his choice of songs was wonderful! Loved them all. The crowd let him know how much they enjoyed it, which is always good. If Mike comes to your neck of the woods, be sure and catch him. I've been a fan since Skin Dive and was a real treat to finally get to see him in person. Got to say "Hey" before the concert, too, when he walked by to get in to the House of Blues. Just a great 'Rainy Night in New Orleans'. Oh, and check out Phillip Manuel, too. He was great! Wonderful singer and even better personality! He's got a new cd, PM. Check it out.

The show was great, and the opening act was great as well. I like the fact that you get to meet the artist and get autographs while purchasing their music. Great venue for this genre of music.

Finally scored tickets to see my fave Jazz artist Michael Franks & it was indescribable and phenomenal. Between the talented musicians which accompanied him & the sound quality I was swepted away!! I was literally inches from him & the speakers & nothing was distorted or loud. Michael Franks sounded as good if not better in person as he does on his many recordings. And I can't stop raving about THE BIRCHMERE!!! That place is a dream!! The pictures on the website does not do it justice at all!!! Everything was pristine, cool & dreamy. And even though I had dinner before going in (which I regret) all I tried was a desert & I was floored at how wonderful everything tasted & how the service was great!!! I will go again and again!!! THE BIRCHMERE ROCKS!!!

The show was nice!.....Michael Franks sounds good, and gave a warm performance. I enjoyed the show

Michael Franks is like a fine wine...he just gets better with time. He is a phenomenal story teller with his music. He put on a remarkable show. It was just the perfect mix of the old classics and the newer stuff. I hope he comes back soon. I'll be there when he does.

Michael was excellent. Performed most requested songs.

In one word "EXCELLENT" Michael Franks shows are always good

I have been listening to Michael Franks since I was 16 years old. I'm 42 now and am so grateful to be able to see him in concert. I've gone to 5 of his shows in 3 years and he always plays my favorite songs. This year was even better...his band was great and he let the more jazzy side of his songs come to life! I will always be a fan!!!

Get Michael Franks back here as soon as possible. Michael is still as smooth as he ever was and his music is ageless!

Michael Franks was great as usual!!! This was my 5th time seeing him. He never disappoints. I will try to see when ever he comes to this area.

I loved the Michael Franks show at the Birchmere; it was awesome! I've been listening to his music for over 20 years, and he seems to get better with age. He sang all of the favorites and he was so smooth. If you haven't seen him in concert, you are truly missing out on a great show.

Michael Franks' performance was very soothing! I would recommend people to see his peformance.

On June 11, 2009, I saw Michael Franks at the Birchmere but first let’s talk about Lili Anel, the open act. She appeared on stage with just her guitar and a base player. Quite a presence; a rubenesque, funny, lively Latina whose songs are musical translations of her experiences, many of them having to do with her personal relationships. She gets great sound and momentum from her two piece group. Well worth seeing. I’ve been a fan of Michael Franks since my freshman year in college, 1979 when I stumbled across his album Tiger in the Rain in the record store. From that point on I was hooked. Michael turned me on to Charles Burchfield, Mate Tea, Jardin Botanico, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and the Yellow House. Michael’s slow, methodic almost talking way singing pulls you in to his musical world. The music is the canvas and his lyrics the paint that he combines to create musical pictures filled with thoughts, places, feelings and humor. He sang many favorites like, Eggplant, Popsicle Toes, The Lady Wants to Know, In The Eye Of The Storm, B'wana - He No Home, Rainy Night In Tokyo, Now Love Has No End and Scatsville. The band is made up of very competent members; a sax man who also plays the flute, a base player, drummer, keyboardist and accompanying vocalist. Listening to Michael Franks is always enjoyable and an adventure through the arts.

Been listening to Michael Franks since college (30 years ago), and wife and I have been seeing him live for the past 10 years in a variety of large and small venues. He seems to do best in smaller venues like the Birchmere (and Ram's Head in Annapolis), and his June 11 show at the Birchmere was no exception. He was in good voice, this tour's band was really good (he made a major upgrade to his horn player), and Veronica Nunn was thankfully with him as well for backing vocals. His set list includes the expected hits ("Popsicle Toes", "Rain Night in Tokyo"), as well as nice mixture of older and newer material. Our first time at the Birchmere - a functional (its former warehouse/flex space) but workable venue with decent food and drink and acceptable sound. Its open seating, so get there early. We'd see Michael Franks there again.

His voice is still the same after 30 years. He played some of the favorites but would have needed an extra 90 minutes to include everything. I had never seen him live before and would see him again in a heartbeat. The band was fantastic and a very talented group of musicians. You have to see him live to appreciate how the intonations in his voice occur. Classics from Eggplant to the whimsical Popsicle Toes. His blending of music and lyrics is truly unique!!!

He was as smooth as his music, and his live music was better then the CDs. It was a great night, one I'll never forget.

Michael Franks onstage at the Birchmere was outstanding. Often a singer's recordings and the real event are inconsistent. Michael Franks was the real deal. We enjoyed the entire show. Michael appears to be a down-to-earth kind of guy as well as an accomplished performer. His female accompanist had a great voice and worked well with him. You could tell by the audience (a packed house) response that his fans were loving every minute. We give the show a big five stars.
