Was 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.
I 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.
The 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 concert was fantastic! It's a great way to kick off the holiday season!
As 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!
We 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.
What 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.
I 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".
I 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.
The concert was good.........Years in the past they put more into it. Now they have the Band which we love but .......No Trees......NO Santa........No......Bling......They just plain didn't go the full 9 yards.......Our 7 th year..........Next year we may change it up with a different choice........????? We do love the Pantages Theatre..........So quaint and cozy.........enjoy a glass of wine during the performance; )
it was a wonderful venue, we had great seats and the Blenders sounded excellent. This was our first Blenders concert and we will definately be back. Thanks for a great show.
What incredible talent! The PERFECT Christmas concert! It's so refreshing to hear truly gifted singers (not studio digitized)! This concert had it all: awesome music, comedy, Christmas spirit! It was also really terrific to see people of all ages enjoying this great style of music. We look forward to many more years enjoying The Blenders' Christmas concert!
Glad to hear them announce they will continue for another 20 years!!! Did miss Santa
Myself and my family have been going to see the Blenders for 18 years- saw them first in college in 1992, just two years after they formed. As a poor college student, I shelled out $17 for their "Totally Whipped" album in our student center- I've been a fan since. The "blend" of musical style and choices along with showmanship make their holiday concert a real treat. The live band added a few years ago is a great addition and they delight with some of their "special guests" like the Folkers and the velvet lounge singer. They keep telling the audience that as long as we keep going they will keep playing, I cant see that ending anytime soon.
The music and sounds that the Blenders produce is amazing. The video that was played outlining their history was very interesting to see. I sensed that there was a larger number of children that attended and it was disappointing that Santa wasn't a part of the show.
Have seen the Blenders three times over the past several years and this was one of their best shows. They really set up the holiday season for us. Congrats for the past 20 years and wish them at least 20 more singing together!
It was too loud and I think the Blenders are much better without a band behind them, it takes away from their singing.
