Featured Review

While this sounds like an inventive italian dish, or possibly a drink you might see at a creative cocktail lounge, it is actually a different type of refreshment that is equally smooth, playful and definitely intoxicating. On a subtle summer Sunday night near Wrigley, an old soul was again reborn in the mind and body of a 20-something crooner from Scotland. Paolo Nutini does not look like he sounds, does not sound like you would think he should, but he still makes you believe you can be forward-looking while being reflective. You feel as if he has both lived and died with the creation of every song and the telling of every story. He shares pieces of him in every track from beginning to end. Unlike most performers, he has no issue playing his biggest hit first. You can sense that he believes the connection he establishes with all of his songs and the audience, is stronger than the strand that most listeners are familiar with him sewing. He tailors his show to promote the strengths of each of the members of his band as well as to his own instrumentation, both guitar and vocal. He is soulful, charming, aware and confused. He was commanding, compassionate, resolute, and vulnerable. He shows that there is hope, if you're willing to take the time to look for it. I did, and I found some at the Vic Theatre Sunday night.

It was an amazing concert, despite the fact their were couples having mad make-out sessions in front of us;)

Other than that, the performance was great, the non-lip locking people super fun, I had a great time.

Paolo Nutini was amazing! If you think his music is great, it's even better live! He and his band, the Vipers, were very passionate about the music they were playing and it really showed. Also, Paolo gave autographs and took pictures with everyone who stayed afterwards! :)

This was truly one of the best/funnest concerts I've been to (and I've been to a few) Paolo was incredible live, and he sang most of his new record as well as some of the old stuff. I guess my one selfish criticism, was that he didn't sing Last Request (I love that song). The most incredible thing was that we actually ran into him after the concert, just walking down the street in Ft. Lauderdale and he was the nicest, coolest dude (maybe a little shy, or terrified of having 3 chicks yell how amazing he was). He even posed for some pictures with us, so all in all it was a great concert experience. Will definitely see him again next time he tours over here.

If you ever get a chance to see Paolo live, DO IT! He is one of the most compelling, honest and courageous artists I have ever seen - simply lays his soul open! I think that genuine disregard for his own vulnerability is one of the things that sets him apart from others. For those who are not aware, when feeling the music Paolo often sings almost completely bent over and usually has a soft slur (plus his accent) so that it may make his words difficult to understand even if he's stone cold sober. Just his style. I know he sometimes imbibes, but drinking is a part of Scottish culture. At any rate, Seatle was the end of the tour, so he may have been tired or cutting loose a little. Saw him about half-way through the tour in Orlando, and he was amazing. He and the band also seemed to be having a lot of pure fun together on stage (when not involved in the more soulful, introspective numbers). His band is TIGHT - excellent musicians, particularly the guitars. Paolo passes the ultimate test - definitely believe he would sing even if nobody listened.

What is so wonderful about his concerts and music is that it is such a broad stroke. Some music sounds like 60s ballads, some like great New Orleans jazz, some Scottish folk song. His band is energetic, tight and you can feel the fun coming off of them. It flows through the crowd. They played my favorite song, "No Other Way" beautifully.
What's best about the SODO Showbox is being able to sip a martini in the back while watching the show. Makes for a more fun overall concert experience.
Paolo has a great career ahead of him and I and my family look forward to each album release. If you haven't listened to his music yet, it is well worth your time and money!

For being drunk or stoned, or both, I guess he was able to hold his own. But it definitely would have been nice to understand him, and not have to see him holding himself up on the mic stand from the very first song. His band seemed pretty with it though...

Awesome musicians, great dancing music, had a lovely evening. HOWEVER, I have been to two shows at SoDo and the sound quality is not so great. I can never understand what the heck anyone is saying! It's frustrating, they talk into the mic and it sounds fuzzy, you can't hear anything clearly. I also noticed that there is a lot of scary loud distortion when the roadies are setting up and tuning the gear.

Being a fan of Paolo's music I was hoping for more than I got Sat night. Couple of reasons; the sound system at the SoDo did not seem to be at its best and did not give a good clear sound across the room but also didn't think Paolo's singing was a strong as I have heard it before. That said the band were excellent and gave a great backing and rendition of the songs.

Paolo Nutini has an incredible voice for live performance, and his band flawessly backed him up.Paolo's music is so raw and insightful. The live performance brought more intensity and beauty to the music than I thought was even possible. Every song of the performance was incredible. I absolutely loved it and I would go back again and again. I will definitely be there next time he is in town.

Paolo Nutini, though a very talented contemporary artist, infuses his Scottish heritige into his music extremely well. That he would shake his fists to the beat of the song, sing with a hard-to-exaggerate underbite, and drank beer (and water occasionally!) while onstage did not diminish the Scottish nature of his stage presence.

He is so insightful and genuine for someone so young. He sings and writes from his soul and he is not afraid to create unique songs. I think he is just going to get even more amazing as he continues to grow as a man and an artist. I look forward to any opportunity I have to see or hear Paolo. He will always be one of my all time favorites!!!

My bf and I were so anxious to Paolo Nutini last night as we are both big fans. The venue was great -- small and intimate -- and were excited to have such a great view of the stage. Once Paolo came on stage and sang a few songs, we started wondering if Mr. Nutini was flat out wasted. He could barely stand, slurred his words, didn't look at the audience, and had to be rescued during one solo acoustic song by his bandmates. I was so disappointed. Look, I know he's young and is likely just starting to enjoy his success, but everyone in that venue paid hard-earned money to see him perform. The least he could have done was save the celebration until after the show. We left early.
