Paxton dominated this dual concert of best of songs. They played together rather than sequentially. Ian was subdued, but easily outshone Paxton in her ability to convey the emotion of her songs and in her picking. Paxton played his normal set, heavy on the child oriented songs. Bullock was an asset through both filling out the sound with quality accompaniment and providing a few exquisite instrumental breaks.
Tom Paxton was wonderful, as always. The Ark is an amazing space for acoustic music.
The Kennedy's are wonderful. Who else but Pete Kennedy could play Rhapsody in Blue on a ukelelee. Maura's voice is delightful, as is her smile. They have played with Paxton many times and could easily be the headliner rather than the opening act. Anyone who has never seen Tom Paxton perform, is a missing an experience. His audience rapport is unmatched. Then he plays songs that you make you laugh and cry and love. Whether it's a song about the bailout, or about the way his wife and daughters, you feel better after hearing him. Next time he is playing near you, don't miss him
Awesome!! Better than ever! Wish I had a CD of just this particular concert. It brought tears to my eyes so many times. So poignant and real and moving. He touches the pulse of America, of who we are. What a legend!!
My husband and I went last evening to see Tom Paxton and the Kennedys in concert at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. It was the first time for us to see Tom Paxton, the Kennedys, and the Birchmere. First Tom Paxton. We enjoyed it very much. Great songs, entertainingly presented. The Kennedys were new to us, but very much in the folk music style. Both Tom Paxton and the Kennedys are worth seeing again. Secondly, the Birchmere. This is a dinner theater. The food was good. The sound was excellent. General seating at the table of your choice. Every seat has a good view.
Great concert. Tom with the Kennedys superb. Pete made the lyrics come alive on the strings. Moira's voice with Tom was fantastic. smiles..
Execellent. My only regret was not having more money to buy more than 2 CDs.
