Music was wonderful but some of the group and band were unkept; shoes not shined, sloppy clothing, etc. Lights frequently shined directly into audience blinding us.
absolutely fabulous!
by tsb6212 on 12/11/11Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5A few technical difficulties were distracting but the boys were perfect! Can't wait until next year. Check out their new CD!
Holiday tradition.
by Stella2012 on 12/11/11Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5Very fun and enjoyable. Many of the expected song titles but with a mix of new. My guess is there was a favorite song missing (All Dressed Up) for most. We plan on attending again next year.
The Blenders were great the seats were not.
by daprincipal on 12/19/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 4 out of 5My wife and i totaly enjoyed the entertainment the Blenders had to provide. I would go back and see them again and know I would get a great show. I was not impressed with the view from our seats and even though we enjoyed the show we didn't get to see as much as I would like. If you get the chance to go see the Blenders do not hesitate. Even though the seats weren't great, the music was outstanding.
Very Enjoyable!!
by BlenderFans on 12/19/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 4 out of 5We really enjoyed the more personal setting of Hoyt Sherman for the Blender concert . We thoroughly enjoyed the music but would have liked to have heard more of their Christmas songs. We sure missed hearing some of our favorites. The one downside was that the rows of seats are very close together and do not leave any leg room for us "taller" folks. By the end of the concert we were quite uncomfortable. The guys are very entertaining and their harmony is excellent. We also enjoyed the addition of the band this year. We have heard them several times and it is a great way to spend a holiday evening.

Went with the expectation of hearing CHRISTMAS music. Seemed as though very little was performed. Maybe I just had my hopes up a little to high.
Totally awesome show!
by iatoy02 on 12/17/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5My husband and I were fully entertained for over 2 hours. We first saw The Blenders years ago, bought a couple of their CDs, but hadn't seen them in person for many years. They were as wonderful as we remembered. Thanks, guys, for sharing part of your Christmas with us. Gail from Iowa
Loud, loud, loud.
by Anonymous on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 1 out of 5Was looking forward to an evening of the soft voices and Christmas music. The band, and the drummer in general, forced the mikes to be turned up to a distored volume and the beautiful sound of the Blenders was lost.

Our 11th year seeing the Blenders at Christmas time and loved it once again! They are just such fun and talented people ... their show always gets us in the Christmas mood! This year they seemed to play fewer holiday songs and I wasn't a big fan of the band because I love just focusing on their voices, but we love seeing the Blenders no matter what they're singing or who's backing them up! Great show - highly recommend - and already looking forward to next year again!

The Blenders are always a great show, and Hoyt Sherman is an ideal venue for their type of program.
The Blenders keep getting better!
by pbhb on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5I have been going to see The Blenders since the early '90s, and they have gotten better each time I have seen them! They keep improving their style and their stage presence. They are a class act! I would recommend them to anyone of any age.
Blenders Make it an 'Official" Christmas
by ThomasThomas on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5The Blenders brought a couple of guitarrs, drums and keyboard this year. It was great; but I absolutely love their accapella sounds. Their "blend" is unique and fantastic on the Christmas Song harmonies. I'll look forward to seeing them to celebrate Christmas 2011. Their biographical intorductory video and later family video were wonderful.
The Blenders put it all together!
by Jarvin on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5The concert was fantastic! It's a great way to kick off the holiday season!
Still amazing after 20 years!
by mo2g on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5As always . . . an amazing show!!! The Blenders NEVER disappoint. Their 20 year anniversary show was the best yet and the addition of the band was great! I look forward to 20 more years of wonderful shows!!! My two girls (8 & 5) have also become huge fans and we can no longer go to a concert without them!
The Blenders are Awesome
by Dkayw on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5We have watched these four remarkable men for 20 years and we are always amazed at their showmanship, talent and energy. We will plan to go to their preformance whenever they are close to our area.

Great show, it was very entertaining, beautiful venue.
AMAZING ENTERTAINING SHOW!!!
by SadieG3 on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5What an amzing group of guys! This was a great holiday show with a little something for everyone. For their fans from back in the day, they busted out a few oldies but goodies. This was mixed in with wonderful holiday music, both sentimental and serious and some just plain funny! They have a way of connecting with the audience that is so special, it keeps fans coming back year after year! For anyone one the fence about these guys, take a chance and see what they've got. I know you're going to love them.
Another Awesome Show
by pbrad on 12/16/10HOYT SHERMAN PLACE - Des MoinesRating: 5 out of 5I loved the Blenders - once again it was a terrific show. I thought I was not going to like it as well when I saw the band but I was mistaken. Do miss the "Swell Sisters".
A Little Disappointed
by ALittleDisappointed18 on 12/8/10Pantages Theatre - MinneapolisRating: 3 out of 5I was really excited to see them in concert (this was my first show) after hearing glowing reviews. However I was not all that happy about the concert. I was surprised they had a band. But after thinking about it, should have guessed that it wouldn't be just them singing for 2 hours. And the band was SO LOUD! About 90% of the time they sang with the band I couldn't hear the words. Someone should let the sound people know to turn it down. I LOVED when they sang without the band and the one song the band's volume was softer and were background music. They really have phenominal voices!!! This would have been an EXCELLENT concert if the band's sound had been dialed down.
