Natalie Merchant Tickets

Natalie's show was the best! Her new music is awesome, but when she came out for 3 encores and did her old stuff from Tigerlily and Ophelia, that was the most amazing part! Natalie, you have been my favorite artist for many years, I hope you return to do more concerts in NY soon!

Natalie Merchant is a great singer. Her voice is phenomenal. Her stage persona is wonderful. She's friendly, chatty and exudes warmth. She seems to be an all around nice person. Her latest CD is all poems by or about children written in the late 1800s and early to mid 1900s, set to music she wrote. The music is beautiful. The poems themselves are wonderful. Many of the poets are not well known, so she's introduced us to poetry we're not likely to have read before. It's just marvelous. I saw Natalie Merchant for the first time in March and that performance prompted me to see her again. That should say it all. If you ever have the opportunity to see Natalie Merchant in concert, I'd jump at the chance.

Voice is so delicately perfect - band is so talented. Loved the balance of the new music and some old favorites. Great evening of music....

The show last night was spectacular. I hadn't listened to any of her new songs on her new album, and while sometimes that can be a bummer because you don't know the music, Natalie was so engaging with the audience and had an abundance of information about the poetry that she based the music on....it was quite entertaining. The highlight for me was that she came back on stage after an hour and forty five minutes of playing only new music, and then went into some of her oldies. Her voice, her energy, the grounding presence she carries.....all of it made for a fabulous evening.

Walked out as did some others, not expecting an entire new album of poetry, wish i new prior. Love Natalie, saw many times but had to leave after 8-9 songs.

My husband and I went to the concert and we had a great time! Towards the end of the concert, Natalie jumped off the stage and started dancing with the audience! We really love her! Hopefully she will have more concerts in New York!

Natalie creates an ambiance unlike any other musician I've encountered. To listen to her live... you feel the warmth of her music flowing over and enveloping you like water. You can't help but feel the deeper emotions conveyed in the lyrics welling up from within. This is artistry at its most exquisite.

The second show as brilliant, fun and enlightening as the first, finding myself thankful for Natalie's presence in my life for 22 years. To hear the poet's history and natalie's labor of love in researching their lives then listening to the wonderful, dramatic and delightful way in which she interpreted the poet's words amazes me. Although the night was dedicated to Natalie's new double album, i was pleasantly suprised to hear two songs from The House Carpenter's Daughter, in particular "Owensboro", a favorite of mine, such a powerful song. Completely satisfied with the night then Natalie returns for what seemed like another show with her bandmates and she performed and looked like she was in her 30s again, dancing, with grooving, soulful songs from albums past. Incredible!

Poet'simages cast on stage in black and white, but luminous and seemingly alive this night as dear Natalie brough their words to life with music, interpreting these incredible, yet mostly unknown today, poet's works (shamefully admit i knew of only two), Natalie and the band performed wonderfully, with such positive energy and in usual Miss Merchant form, educated, entertained and enlivened the audience. The venue "The Concert Hall" absolutely beautiful and intimate, perfect place for her powerful yet soft voice to emanate beautifully.

maybe the best concert i ever saw! natalies transformation of 19th century poetry to original music was totally unique and amazing. everyone likes to hear stories and she regaled the audience with 12 or so stories of the poets, their lives, and her connection with them. the array of instruments and the talent of all the musicians kept the audience captivated and riveted from beginning to end thank you natalie

After such a long musical dried up, Natalie brings a, literally, piece of art!!! Her performance was magnificense, I love the stories, pictures and of course the poems becoming lyrics in songs with such a diversity of rythms that it is just overwhelming. I bought the double album right at the spot, strongly recommendable, thanks Natalie, great music and performance.

To hear her wonderful voice fill a church venue was amazing! Had heard some of the songs a few years ago when she was still experimenting with them. Loved the finished product.

The concert was just unforgettable, the band exquisite,songs thoughtful and inspiring, I have just so loved everything from the first moment the show has started. Natalie is one of the few people that can get you into the mood and pool you in immediately, she creates a music niche you just jump into. Every song was so different but still part of the whole. Connecting the centuries via poems and today's music was so nice. It is so rare that you can connect immediately with the songs you didn't hear before. And what great stories and lives behind all the poems, so grateful that Natalie shared some of the stories with us. The venue is great for these intimate concerts, you really feel like you are part of the music. And, I do have to mention that I was relieved to hear that I felt right about banishing "avatar" from my dictionary. I can't wait to get the CD!

Natalie Merchant is an artist that will continue to raise the bar for any musician or artist. Her music was gorgeous and presented a mystical and telling link to many poets whose own inspiring and thoughtful work has been lost in the cultural chaos of today. Every song had a melodic root that will only inspire my children to think deeper. Thanks Natalie and all who collaborated!!!

Well, one thing is for sure, Natalie's voice is as incredible and unique as it ever was. I love this woman, I've been seeing her live way back in the days of 10,000 maniacs. I have to be honest though, while I like a good deal of her poem/songs, I wish the concert was a little more balanced of her new/old stuff. I also noticed her energy level was not quite the same as in the past, less intense stage dancing, and as far as her vocals, she didn't get crazy into carnival and use that wicked range in most of her songs as she has in the past. All in all, you can't go wrong with seeing her show, she's very personable and I love that she danced with the audience, very cool Natalie. You're still my fave.

Natalie's concert of her new album was so real and beautiful. The songs are true to her heart and soul. She is dramatic as usual and that is so addictive. She is honest and sincere. Her voice is heard and not buried by instruments. The accompaniements were beautiful. She put a lot of time and effort into learning as much as she could about the poets and writers of the original literary scholars. I just love Natalie and her talent. I could listen to her forever and never tire of hearing her beauty.

The show was amazing! Then again, Natalie could sing the phone book and I would attend. Since she left the Maniacs in 1993, Natalie has truly grown as an artist and been able to collaborate with so many diverse talents around the world. Her latest project "Leave Your Sleep" is six long and hard years spent on her behalf that are so worth it on her fans' end! Wow. She is brilliant and creative beyond her years. It's nice to have a success like Natalie who is able to introduce and teach her fans new genres of music and other worldly ideas. She is pure talent...and that word seems to be missing "these days" (ha ha) from 90 percent of the artists on tv and radio. I have honestly seen her live about 30 times over the years, and she only gets better! And...what a voice!

The opposite of commercial, Natalie Merchant's voice has an ability to wrap itself around the soul. This new collection of poem songs has obviously been a labor of love. Natalie you are wonderful. Thank you for a perfect night.

Having no idea what the new album consisted of, we were pleasantly surprised at the overall experience of the concert, even beyond the music. Natalie's voice is so great to listen to and setting it to poetry with interesting music and arrangements felt as much a literary journey as a musical one. We all loved it. And it looked like Natalie loved every moment of it too!

THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL; HOW BEAUTIFULLY SHE HAS WOVEN CLASSIC, ALMOST UNKNOWN POETRY TO MODERN MUSIC. A TRUE VISIONARY.
