Excellent energy and sincerity. Talent in abundance. The perfect charity. The only thing I would change is to spend less time talking and more time performing. I hope Jim makes it big beyond the midwest. He deserves to be honored.

It is wonderful to have a hometown personality perform for those of us that love our little town's & our state of beautiful Iowa! I also wanted to thank Jim for making my Mom's experience so enjoyable! She turns 81 on Dec. 25th & this meant so much to her! He told me when I had him sign my cd's that he couldn't help but see my smile every time he looked our direction! I'm so happy I could give him that warm smile! Thank you so very much! We will see you next year!

A mix of singing, dancing and of course, Jim's wonderful piano playing. We were all impressed by his ability to ask for audience favorites and play them all. Show with a short intermission ran 2 1/2 hours so well worth the money. Funds raised go to a great entity in Camp Courageous.

A fun afternoon of music, singing, and dancing in the Five Flags Center. The show was packed full of Christmas classics, and included the fun audience-inspired combination of tunes everyone enjoys. A recommended show!

As my wife has been a fan for years I felt we should see the concert in person. It was great and we will be back for the December concert. We now need to share CD's as I am also a fan and we both play Jim's music in our cars. One word would be "Outstanding"

Jim sure puts on an amazing show!! We didn't want the show to end. His rapport and engagement with the audience is incredible. He is a true entertainer. His piano and singing talent is remarkable. This is an artist that you need to fit into your schedule. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Jim for a great performance. We will not miss your upcoming performances!!

Jim has done it yet again! His latest collection of songs from popular children's movies is simply a delight to listen to.. for all ages! My 9 year old daughter is fascinated by his playing, & could sit and listen for hours. Jim is even inspiring her to practice more on her own piano playing. Thank you so much!!

The combination on piano, orchestra, and singers was special. The last song of O Holy Night, then the Halleluhia Chorus was exceptional. I liked being able to buy CDs at the concert. It doesn't seem like the concert is advertises mulch.

Jm McDonough put on a wonderful performance. First time I have attended a performance of his and was impressed with the ease he played the piano and of his enjoyable impromptu playing of audience random music selections. Mr. McDonough has a beautiful singing voice. The orchestra, lighting effects and show choir were all enjoyable additions to Mr. McDonough's music.

This show was so beautiful!!! There were parts that made me laugh, parts that made me say Wow and parts that brought out sincere emotion. At times it was bright and colorful and at others it was soft and beautiful. This show is everything that Christmas is about! I heard once that if you listen to music with your eyes open it goes into your head. If you listen with your eyes closed, it goes into your soul. I often listened with my eyes closed!

If you have not purchased Jim McDonough's music, you are missing out on one of life's treasurers. I received a CD as a gift and now have 11 of them. Uplifting, soothing and spiritual... what more could one ask for in music!
