SHENANDOAH IN CONCERT:
Grammy-winning country outfit Shenandoah has been depicting small-town life with their moving lyrics and soulful sound for more than three decades, and their live shows remain fun as ever under the continued leadership of founding frontman Marty Raybon. In concert the band's gospel and bluegrass influences shine bright as Raybon fills the venue with his warm voice and deft acoustic fingerpicking, treating fans to an uplifting experience brimming with the tones and tales of life in the South. Soaring harmonies have always been the group's sonic calling card, and Shenandoah doesn't disappoint in concert, nailing their lush multi-part vocals with a precision that has only gotten more impressive with time. As pioneers of the new traditionalist country movement the band puts musicianship first and foremost, and seeing them perform favorites like "Two Dozen Roses" and "The Church on Cumberland Road" in the flesh leaves no doubt that they remain at the height of their playing powers.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Shenandoah formed as a house band in Muscle Shoals, AL in 1984 and cut their teeth performing to a nightly bar crowd of neighborhood locals. After sending their demos to Columbia Records the label suggested the name Shenandoah, and in 1987 the band released their self-titled debut album under the moniker. The record failed to chart, but their 1989 follow-up The Road Not Taken cracked the Top 10 on country charts in both the US and Canada thanks to three No. 1 singles including "Sunday in the South". After a whirlwind tour that saw the band play 300 shows in 1989 alone, Shenandoah continued to enjoy success in the '90s with a string of Top 40 albums that included Long Time Comin' (1992) and Under the Kudzu (1993). In 1995 they won a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for their song "Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart," a duet with bluegrass sweetheart Allison Krauss. Despite the success, lead vocalist Marty Raybon left the group in 1997 to pursue a solo career, but he got the band back together in 2000 with a new lineup and released the album Shenandoah 2000. They've been back at it ever since with founding members Raybon and drummer Mike McGuire performing with a rotating roster of players who always live up to the band's sterling reputation.
The band is better than it ever was, and Marty Raybon still has a great voice and is a great entertainer. I like their popular songs most of the other songs they did, but they need to add more songs to their agenda. I would love to see them again when the opportunity arises.
Shenandoah put on a wonderful show filled with good music
Great band, sound was good, energy was excellent. Recommend to Country music lovers…👍👍
This was the second Shenandoah concert I've attended. They always put on a great concert. Marty is a genuinely a nice person.
I liked the fact that they sang popular hits that everyone knew and enjoyed. I enjoyed him talking because he did not spend a lot of time talking vs singing. Some musicians will talk more than they sing. When the concert ended it felt like it had just started
Been waiting a long time to see Shenandoah and they were worth everything. Marty and the band sounded great. Awesome crowd involvement
Shenandoah put on an awesome show. I went in with little to no expectations and they blew me away with how good they still are!
Great show in Atlanta! Worked hard for the crowd, did all their hits, plus a great medley of old time country and rock songs from The Swampers of Muscle Shoals. Lead guitarist is phenomenal!
Marty with Shenandoah put on a fabulous show! He was engaged with the crowd and got everyone up rocking with him! It was a great performance. Music was great!
Shenandoah Wade Hayes and Billy Dean put on a great show. They all still have it. Great 90s country music
Concert was great except for all the talking in the audience.They seem to think it was a family reunion.They weren't talking,they would holler over the music and you couldn't here the band when they were talking.
Shenandoah did AMAZING!! The venue itself needs more space or just less chairs. It was way too close and heavier set people couldn't even get to their seats because it was to tight for them to walk past people.
Shenandoah puts on an excellent show. Love all of their songs. Took us back in time! Their new song “Revival” is awesome. Besides being a great singer, Marty is a Christian. We had a great time.
Great show!!! 3rd row seats were a plus. Everyone was great, kept the crowd involved the whole show!!! Ready to see them again!
Great music and our seats were fabulous. Everyone was wonderful.

Nothing is better than listening to older country music. The artists were great
OMG what a great concert it was incredible. Loved everything about the concert extremely talented group and they are wonderful with the audience. Always been one of my favorite groups. Thank you you guys are still great keep it going. Can't wait to see you again.
Great show! Yesterdays singers beat anything artists put out today. Love the stories they tell between songs. If they come to Vegas or Laughlin again, we will buy tickets again.
