I am not a fan of live music and rarely go to music events even if it's just to be social, but Jon McLaughlin is good enough to make me look forward to a show of his for weeks. I have a weakness for crisp, clean and clear voices. His is my favorite voice to listen to over and over. I literally can't get enough and am always thrilled to be in the same room with such an amazingly talented musician. His piano skills do something to my knees that make it hard to stand up for the show. Awesome

JON MCLAUGHLIN IS AWESOME. Such a great performer. I think every female in the audience swoon as soon as he started singing. Definitely would love for him to come back again soon!

Saw Jon perform at Gramercy Theater in NYC last week. Highly recommend it.
The man is an unbelievable talent. He's a genius on the keyboard - including both intimate classical stylings, as well as attacking the keys like a full-fledged rocker. He throws himself fully into his playing. Vocally, his tone is great, and his range is fantastic. His band is also very dynamic and they interact extremely well together. The concert has more of a rock feel than his albums (they seem to have a bit more of a pop feel), which I personally loved.
Jon's personality really shines through in his performance. He's very energetic, but also doesn't lose the intimate feel and personality that make his songs what they are. His anecdotes and humor also add to the greatness of his show, and really reflect what he puts into his brilliant songwriting.

Jon's voice, music, band and presence are a must see...over and over again. He sounds amazing live. I love that he rocks out with his band but also performs a few solo songs (just his voice and the piano). Beautiful. Moving. Fun. Love him.

This was my third Jon McLaughlin concert - second with the full band - and once again I left amazed. The openers, Bobby Stamper (Jon's guitarist) and Mikey Wax were both solid but Jon stole the show. He played a great mix of songs off the new album and a few of his "classics". Watching him play the piano is incredible - so much passion and energy, whether it was a more uptempo song like "Industry" or a ballad like "Indiana". The venue wasn't bad. The small size meant that it was easy to get close to the band and have a great view - and the sound was good too. My only complaint was that I felt like the set could have been longer! Overall a great show and will definitely be going to many more.

Opening act(s): Mikey Wax was a perfect opening act for Jon McLaughlin, and worthy of seeing on his own. He performed acoustically, which was fine, but he needs a band. Not possible in this situation, but it was nice to see the raw presentation of his songs. @

Jon McLaughlin puts his heart into his music, very passionate while playing piano, and has a great talented band backing him. He should be bigger, and will be. If you have a chance to see him, even if you don't know his music, you will be entertained. He's also very humorous and easy on the eyes.

Jon is a fantastic performer, and this evening proved it. From the fantastic opening singers to the last solo notes on the piano by Jon, it was a unforgettable night of great music.
The venue was small, which created a very intimate concert setting, a nice touch to some of the larger venues I've been to.
Although the stage was a little small and the drum was pretty close to us (causing it to be a little loud), I thought the venue was perfect. Very neat and historic.

Have been a fan of Jon's music since living in Minneapolis and hearing him on a podcast of "up and coming" artists in the early 2000s. The show at the Vogue was my first time hearing him live. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed but was absolutely blown away by his performance. He engaged the crowd, transitioned songs amazingly and played a few old tunes. I wished the show could have gone on all night.

Jon McLaughlin was amazing, as usual. An incredibly talented and very energetic musician who definitely entertains at his shows. The Vogue is a great venue and being a "home" show for Jon McLaughlin made it more amazing. A Jon McLaughlin show is not to be missed.

The Vogue theatre provided the perfect intimate location for singer Jon McLauhglin to entertain his die hard fans and create new ones. This was my first time seeing him in person and it did not disappoint. He rocked out on his keyboard and filled every performance with raw emotion. My only complaint was that I didn't hear some of my favorites of his due to his promoting his new album. But it was still an awesome show. I wish he would blow up in the music world like he deserves!!!

Jon is an amazing player. He mad the concert memorable. He was very interactive with everyone. We did some problems with the tickets and they gave us new ones (not as good seats) but we moved up to seats that were not filled. I would love to go to another one of his shows.
