this is our first time jumpers concert, so we didn't know what to expect. We heard that Vince Gill was now with the band, so we gave it a try. Glad we did. The whole band is great, some of the best from Nashville, and Vince Gill did not disappoint. Will go again.
The night got off to a terrible start with technical issues stopping the Birchmere in its tracks...their computer system was completely offline. A very long, cold wait outside for will call tickets formed a terrible first impression. The lack of consideration for its patrons left standing in the cold (when a large, warm interior space was sitting empty) seemed particularly unnecessary. When we finally got inside, the wait staff did its best to overcome the poorly managed delay and eventually served the crowd. I found it off putting to learn that water was only available by purchasing an individual bottle. Thankfully the Time Jumpers were of such an exceptional quality of musicianship that the awful start faded away as they charmed the crowd with humor and talent. The Time Jumpers played to an adoring audience and did not dissapoint. Tight harmonies and flawless execution were the order of the night. The variety of song choices and the give and take between musicians was outstanding.
It was wonderful to watch such talented musicians perform in such a small venue. They seemed to really enjoy themselves as they performed.
No words can describe how awesome this show was. Everyone should see this amazing group of artists. There was sooo much talent on the stage, the best of the best of Nashville. Of course Vince Gill is the best of the best, but the big name musicians in Nashville are part of this group as well. Last, but not least, the amazing "Dawn Sears". What a voice of an Angel. I've been a fan of Dawn's for many years. This is one entertainer that the country music industry over looked many years ago. But Vince didn't, that's why she's been singing in his band for 20 years, he knew what a gift she has. All I can say is WOW, what a show. If you are a fan of good Texas Swing and good hard core country music, you have to see this show. Trust me, you will love it!
OUTSTANDING musical talent! Spectacular! Dawn Sears voice is unbelievably GREAT!
A most enjoyable evening. I am new to western swing and what a band to hear! Show wasn't too long or to short. Lexington Opera House sounds great.
The whole show was upbeat, uplifting, and pretty flawless! Plenty of spotlight devoted to the individual musicians comprising this all-star band.
If you are a fan of 'true' country music or swing music from the 50's - 60's this was the show for you. I have been a fan of the group for several years, this is the style of music my parents used to listen too and give that 'special' smile to each other when it came on the radio. And after seeing the Jumpers live I know why. It is infectious! Toe tapping, finger snapping, good music. And the band themselves are some of Nashvilles hottest session players. Vince Gill was in good form as was Dawn Sears so the vocals were top notch. An all around great show. Even my 14 year old (Beiberite) daughter loved it!!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this concert, but OH MY GOODNESS!! There is so much "music" out there that is just noise. These musicians are truly that - musicians. They made everything seem effortless and they were playing some amazing music. Vince Gill was so gracious, not drawing attention to himself, just playing along with a great group of musicians who were having a whole lot of fun playing together. They played for two hours and never took a break. I would definitely go back and see them again!
I have long been a Time Jumpers fan since first seeing them on a recorded show broadcast as part of a public television fundraising drive. For starters, I am big fan of authentic country music and there's not much of it left in our world. If you can imagine 11 of Nashville's finest studio/side musicians assembled on one stage playing honest-to-goodness country music, you can envision the Time Jumpers. As a musician, I admire not only the complexity of their 'simple' arrangements, but the seeminly effortless way they play. Geez. Twin guitar leads, triple fiddles, piercing pedal steel. Whoa. Vince Gill has proven to be a nice addition (2010) to the group and Dawn Sears is, in my mind, the most amazing "girl singer" in Nashville. Though a bit under-the-weather for this show, she still managed to raise the roof. Wow. Having only dreamed of traveling to Nashville for one of their Monday night shows, I jumped on the opportunity to catch their Lexington Opera House performance. A dream concert for sure.
This is by far the best concert I have ever attended. These people are true musicians and you can tell by watching them, they enjoy every minute on stage. If you have not seen them YOU ARE MISSING OUT!
This was my first trip to the Opera House and my first opportunity to see The Time Jumpers live. It was an awesome experience! Every single one of the band members were multi-talented. My husband and I are true classic country fans and they filled us up to the brim with everything we like and more. We only wish we lived closer to Nashville so we could enjoy them more! Looking forward to more from them in the Kentucky area and more from The Opera House!!
We went into the evening not knowing what to expect from the group but we left extremely happy that we went. The group just showed amazing skill in their playing throughout the evening. Each of them could sing well and the music selection certainly highlighted all their talents. The performances by Dawn Sears -- undergoing treatment for lung cancer -- were out of this world. She has an incredible voice and it was on full display. The Lexington Opera House was a perfect venue for this group.
