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.
Venue was great with a up close and overall great view of the entire band. Please tell Harrah’s to bring them back!!! Marty Raybon has an amazing voice and is very personable with his fans...and his band is incredible
Passionate, powerful and engaging music was shared. It was a pleasure to have this experience in light of everything happening in our world. Thank you Shenandoah. Thumbs up as always!
What a wonderful show. My husband not a big country fan, really enjoyed it too. What a tight band of musicians. Songs great and nice banter with crowd. Swag very affordable. Would see them again.
Great band played all their hits and put on a great show, I would love to see them again.
Loved the intimate setting...Marty still sounds like he did in 1990 & the rest of the band sounded great also!! Glad I made the trip from Michigan to listen to one of my all-time favorite country bands!!
This is an excellent venue. The whole place was excellent. There is construction going on around the concert hall, right now. So when the construction of the new restaurant and camp ground is finished, this place will be phenomenal. The whole band of Shenandoah is fantastic. They are such an excellent band, and Marty's voice is awesome, can go from high to low, just amazing to hear. I love his dedication to God. Charlotte
Awesome concert! Intimate venue! You felt like you were part of the show! Loved it!!!
Kind of in the middle of nowhere, but we found it without any problems. The time change made the start time confusing. Wish they sold alcohol! Overall, we had a great time and everyone was very friendly!
Great show. Not a bad seat in the house. Show was almost 2 hrs long.
My wife and I attended Shenandoah at the Deadwood Grand. She sang along to almost every tune, not sure where I was in the 1980's but happy wife, happy life.
The lead singer, Marty Rayborn, was the only person on stage to ever speak or act alive. The other band members never got involved. I kept hoping they would beef up the crowd and excitement but unfortunately it never happened. It was just OK at best. The Tivoli is nice and well maintained but to charge $7.00 for a single beer is nothing but robbery. Shame on them.
Marty Ramon really got the audience involved in the show. All their great songs and a good warm-up gospel group before hand.
While I was surprised by the opening act, I didn't know who was scheduled and had never heard of them, their music quality was quite good. But wasn't prepared for a gospel group out of the blue... But the moment that Shenandoah took the stage, magic just started to happen. Marty Raybon and the boys sounded fantastic, had a great stage show, interacted with the crowd (even let a man sing the second verse of a song, and he did good too!) but more importantly, reminded me of why I loved their music in the 80s and 90s. Can't wait to hear the new studio album - loved the new single they performed! The music was just incredible. Hated for the concert to end.
Great show, but sound was kind of muddy. Hard to hear the vocals.
The first headliner I’ve ever seen at the Tivoli sign autographs and take pics with everyone in the lobby. First class person and sounded great
Not a bad seat in the place. Shenandoah was amazing. Sounds like 20 years ago!!!
They put on a great show - they played none stop. I would go see again
My mom and I really enjoyed the show. Both bands sounded great! It was fun and very entertaining. Not thrilled about the uncomfortable folding chairs, which were placed too close together.
It had comedy energy and all around good feeling! very entertaining and personal! I love the smaller venues and they played new music older favorites and cover songs from both rock and country. I would definitely go again!
Shenandoah puts on an excellent show. I would definitely go see them again if I get the opportunity.
