Fantastic evening with great music and acoustics.
by Raffi sKandalous on 12/12/23Crystal Ballroom at Somerville Theatre - SomervilleThe opener was talented. Mr. Dailey stole the show. Spectacular performance, rife with passion, sarcasm, fun, and tact. The levels were correct, the lighting was great, the band played fabulously too. The audience was engaged, and the staff was attentive to all needs. Crowd interaction was wonderful, no complaints. Having gone to around 500-700 shows thought my life, of differing acts ranging from rock, folk, metal, dnb, house, breaks, rap, hip hop, pop, opera, folk, jazz, classical, bluegrass, and everything else I feel qualified to speak on Mr. Dailey’s show. Been to venues legal and illegal with crowds ranging from 1 person to upwards of 250k people. I have also performed shows, thrown shows, and promoted shows. No matter what metric I use, I think a solid 4.7 out of 5 stars would be reasonable. There’s always room for improvement. Insofar as Will Dailey shows, I rate it 4.8. The first time was 5, the second one was 4.7. These numbers mean nothing, and this review is trash because my opinion does not matter. I went, enjoyed it, and it was a peak night of music. Mr. Dailey also knows why my review is irreverent, as does any reasonable person reading this. My final parting comment would be, don’t take my word- go and explore his music live, as well as the venue. It is worth every penny and non financial resource allocated.
