About

TOM ODELL IN CONCERT:

Acclaimed British singer-songwriter Tom Odell isn't much concerned with musical trends. While many of his contemporaries have started dressing up their tunes with elements borrowed from dance music and hip hop, Odell has stuck to his indie pop guns, favoring simple, piano-based arrangements that let his heart-rending voice and confessional lyrics shine. In concert he performs seated at the piano, conjuring up evocative chords and melodies while his band adds gentle guitar, glacial glockenspiel, and haunting vocal oohs and ahhs to the mix. Odell wears his heart on his sleeve, and seeing him perform deeply personal songs like "Real Love" and "Magnetised" in the flesh only heightens their emotional impact. He wowed fans in 2016 with his sophomore album Wrong Crowd, and followed up with powerfully emotional sets on tour that treated ticket buyers to the full range of his awe-inspiring talents.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Chichester, England-born Tom Odell studied classical piano as a child and started writing songs at age 13. After high school he abandoned plans to attend university and instead focused on music, performing at open mic nights around the Liverpool area. He enrolled in the Brighton Institute of Modern Music shortly after and started the band Tom and the Tides, but ultimately decided to go solo. He got a break in the early '10s when British pop sensation Lilly Allen saw one of his London performances and signed him to her label, resulting in his 2012 debut EP Songs from Another Love. He followed up in 2013 with his first album Long Way Down, a No. 1 smash on the UK Albums Chart that produced a string of popular singles including the Top 10 hit "Another Love." A slew of accolades followed, including the BRITs Critics' Choice Award and a nomination for the prestigious BBC Sound of 2013 poll. Odell spent the next few years touring, and in 2016 he released his sophomore album Wrong Crowd, a No. 2 hit on the UK Albums Chart that he supported on the No Bad Days Tour.

    Tom Odell = Heaven on Earth

    by LBKenny123 on 10/10/16Howard Theatre - Washington

    I was blown away by this concert. Tom Odell is an amazing performer. He sounds amazing live and was very polite--he thanked us multiple times for coming to see him play, and he seemed very humble.

    Odell Rocks Live

    by skyguy29 on 5/8/16Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    Tom Odell is one of those acts I stumbled across on Spotify a year ago, and fell in love with. His writing and singing are top notch, and his first album (which I own on vinyl) is enjoyable from start to finish. I've kept an eye out waiting for him to tour in the US, and was thrilled when I saw that his sold-out show at the Mercury Lounge was moving to the Williamsburg Music Hall so that I could snag ticket My roommate and I got there early and sat upstairs, and had a great view of the stage and the audience below. The crowd in Brooklyn was fairly low energy at first (late weeknight), but as the show continued Tom connected with everyone and the house started to rock. I really enjoyed the more plugged-in, drum driven style of his live show - his band are great and I was moving along to the music with each song. I had a wonderful night and would recommend Tom Odell to anyone who enjoys folk/rock.

    Tom Odell was incredible

    by Anonymous on 5/8/16Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    Tom Odell's performance was utterly amazing! I was blown away by his fantastic talent, as well as his highly energetic band. The sound quality and lights were very well done. However, the crowd was rather rude and talked a lot during softer songs or breaks between songs.

    Tom Odell was so great live. The show started a little late which I wasn't too happy about but it was definitely worth the wait.

    Tom Odell Concert

    by Alysse90 on 10/16/13El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    Tom Odell is a legend. He's not as big in America as he should be. Quality performer. Great live. Fantastic pianist. So worth it. Looking forward to his next concert in LA, whenever that might be.

    Awesome performance but ....

    by Palsmith on 10/14/13El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    Tom O'Dell gives 200% to his performance and so glad we got to see him perform but waiting until 10pm from an 8pm door opening was frustrating and unneccesary. At $13 for a beer we couldn't really afford to enjoy a couple of drinks either

    Great concert! Great venue!

    by Anaqah on 10/13/13El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles

    This was my second time seeing Tom Odell in concert this year. Really like this guy - he will be a big star this year. So it was great getting to see him in a smaller venue before you have to pay big bucks to see him at the mega venues. He is really fun to see live, knows how to rock the house. And his music is awesome. I also LOVED the opening band, Vance Joy. They are a relatively new band from Australia and have really fresh music with intriguing rhythms. I will definitely go see them again when they come back to LA. This was my first time going to the El Rey. It, like the Avalon, is one of best smaller venues for live music. There is plenty of room and you can position yourself where you can easily see the band without being in the crush on the floor. And their wine is better than most of the other venues.

    Tom is the best at putting on a show. He has this energy and light to him. I am so very glad I was able to see him. Hope he comes back to Cali soon!

    Piano Player Pulsates

    by Gayracer on 9/24/13Irving Plaza powered by Klipsch - New York

    It seemed I was the oldest person on the room. I knew I was going to be. Sometimes it's okay to feel old after a show. I can't take many more of these "long nights on my feet" concerts anymore, but I came to see the Piano Player. I saw him in the Bowery earlier this year, and I knew I had to follow this Brit. He can get a crowd into a frenzy if he wanted; it's hard to believe this dude can be so good while being so young. And I'm talking about his piano playing. His voice is a mixture of the late Jim Carroll and David Bowie, with a little of Tom Odell thrown in. He is so mature in his lyrics, his working a song, it's hard to remember he is so young, even compared to me.

    So great

    by Travelall14 on 8/8/13House of Blues San Diego - San Diego

    I cannot believe the circumstances in which we were able to see Tom Odell. It was $10 at the House of Blues in San Diego. The event was intimate and awesome. He is so passionate live. I prefer the live versions to his EP but we still listen to the studio versions. Seriously, see him live. You'll be glad you did! I saw him at SXSW in Austin and loved him there as well. I hope he comes back soon!

    Keep your eye on Tom - he's going to be BIG!

    by VJS1957 on 5/15/13Media Club - Vancouver

    I have been a fan of Tom Odell for a few months now, and seeing him at the Media Club in Vancouver was awesome, such an intimate venue, so close up. He is such an amazing and talented young man. Met him before the show and he was lovely, very unassuming and sweet. He should go far!
