Ralph Stanley Tickets

Totally awesome concert with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. Ralph still rocks it at 86 years old! All band members were so over the top great. Ralph's son and grandson were so cool and very talented also. So glad that they are taking such good care of Ralph. Ralph still has the voice and gets those bluegrass songs belted out there. The show was so great. They did about an hour and 15 mins, then did autographs for 20 mins or so, and then back again for another hour plus of music. And they did more autographs after the show. It was a truly awesome experience and we are so glad that we got to see this show.

Saw him and the Clinch Mountain Boys at the Met Theater in Morgantown, WV. Wonderful venue and awesome show. At his age, there probably won't be a lot more opportunities to see him, so it was great to get the chance. Truly an icon in his genre.

any one who loves bluegrass music must go see ralph he is old but still got it sounded great band was great played to the crowd with lots of request all your favorites

Ralph Stanley has aged gracefully. His frailty and memory were apparent, but his singing did not falter. I got goosebumps when he sang "O Death"! The Clinch Mountain Boys were solid. Most of the second half, they simply took requests. There seemed to be no end to their repertoire.

This was our first event at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. Very intimate venue. I though the seats were nice. There seemed to be a little sound issue with several songs, but overall the experience was good.

I loved seeing Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. They were down-home, easy, laid back and fabulous. I could see this show every weekend. Love Ralph Stanley and the gang.

Ralph Stanley, once again, had an excellent program. It's great to see someone going strong after 84 years.

I would gladly listen to Ralph Stanley as long as the Lord lets him be here with us . However, May 19's concert in Durham was a big disappointment. None of it was Ralph's fault. The show was titled "Ralph Stanley" but really featured his grandson Nathan Stanley, living proof that musical ability is not passed along in one's genes. The first half of the concert was Nathan with many electric instruments. This would have been a dreary set in the best of circumstances but the Carolina Theatre's sound engineering was probably the worst I have ever heard in any concert venue. Overall too loud. Lyrics unintelligible. Dreadful fuzzy distorted feedback from the electric bass. I would have walked out but I came to hear Ralph, who did not perform in the first half. The second half gave us Ralph Stanley and an acoustic bluegrass group using standing mikes. Sound was fine. Ralph was great.

We had such a good time and enjoyed the show. We also enjoyed Cooter from Dukes of Hazard as well.

Venue was intimate and band members were gracious. Nice to have such a legend be so approachable.

Ralph Stanley is a national treasure. Unfortunately, we didn't really get Ralph Stanley, or didn't get him for very long. In what was an outrageous bait and switch, the audience was subjected to at least an hour and a half of his grandson, Nathan, singing in an amateurish venture at being a sparkly country singer, complete with electrified instruments. He also appeared to be dressed as an Elvis imitator, which was exceedingly odd. This was at an ear splitting volume to a half empty house (did anyone do a sound check based on ticket sales?). I will add that most of the audience appeared to feel the same. Applause was half hearted and one many was so upset about the sound quality that he went to speak to the management. When Ralph Stanley did appear, he was wonderful and we would have cheerfully paid the same money for just the 30 minutes or so he sang. We wouldn't have felt cheated at all. Instead, we did feel we'd been made fools of. He is very old and a short concert is something folks would understand. I admire his family solidarity, trying to establish his grandson, but he is tarnishing his own name in promoting Nathan. The tour organizers ought to be challenged about their billing it as a concert by "Ralph Stanley," with" Nathan Stanley" in tiny letters, suggesting he has a support or ancillary role. The Clinch Mountain Boys (the non-electric) musicians were terrific. So were the electric ones, for that matter.

I went to see Dr. Ralph Stanley as the websites all read. Nathan, his grandson, took over more than half of the show. It felt like a bait and switch. Nathan's claim to fame will be having the last name Stanley. The piano player came out to the crowd and talked about Nathan for a while and then a band appeared with drums and electric bass (that's a whole other topic,) and threw down a breakdown which had the audience thumping. Then, "without further adieu" here comes a guy wearing black jeans, a sequened blazer and sporting Elvis' worst hair day who sang song after song. Not only could he not sing well but they used the sound to drown him out, he would holler during solos, and always announce the key of the next song, as if he can sing in more than one key. Cooter from Dukes of Hazzard made an appearance next and actually sang really well. That was a nice treat. Finally, after an intermission... the great Ralph Stanley came on stage and tore the little house down. It was a pleasure and a joy to see this classic still perform with such energy. We were even lucky enough to get to see him play some banjo! Next time you consider seeing Ralph Stanley, just be sure that it's a Ralph and the Clinch Mountain Boys on the bill...

A unique and incomparable artist. He preformed non stop for at least 20 minutes in the same clear and forceful minor keyed voice of his youth. It was a rare and very special performance. He even played the banjo a bit. I felt honored in his presence. I guess I didn't realize that it wasn't his show but his grandson, Nathan's show. Nathan at 19 has a wonderful voice and he did a good job covering songs from the 50's and early 60's. Cooter from Dukes of Hazzard performed in the middle 20 minutes and I must say he is a powerful singer and performer. He has a great stage presence and we so enjoyed him. The last third of the show was Ralph. And as I said, he was just so on and so special. I think Nathan is going to be a great singer. I think i would have enjoyed him more if his part had been acoustic and with, perhaps a smaller support band. All in all - a very enjoyable evening.

My oldest son and I saw him for the first time. Still sings with a lot of soul. Very competent accompanying band. His grandson was a guitarist the whole evening and his son made a stage appearance for a couple songs. I would have liked the music a bit louder but the venue is good. Only disappointment for me was he did not perform Poor Rambler.

Ralph is still bringing it to us. He has made some compensation because of his age and I have read some critical reviews about this but Ralph concentrates on what he can do. Even at his age, few singers have the singing range that he has. For many this is a chance to say I went to a Ralph Stanley live concert. I have been listening to Ralph music for over 60 years but for younger folks this is a chance to see and hear the Legend.

Dr. Ralf Sanley was wondeful. I would go seehim again at the Birchmere anytime.

The Birchmere is a great place to see shows. Ralph Stanley always puts on a great show there. They did alot of the classic songs that has made Ralph a great legend of Bluegrass. He took request and did a fine job on doing them. He came back two times for encores.

Outstanding show! Entertaining and full of enjoyment!

Loved the concert. Impressed with friendly group and friendly audience. Had a great time. Perfect experience (except for the long wait for any Birchmere concert to start!) Good food and good service. Love being so close to the performer.

I didn't go due to a work conflict, but my Aunt who is a bluegrass fan went with my cousin and said she thoroughly enjoyed it.
