I was expecting ridiculously talented guitarists, which I got. I was not expecting a stand up routine, which I also got and LOVED. Joe and Kenneth play off each other and the audience with a hysterically dry, dead-pan style humor. I cannot wait for them to come back to Boston!

Favorite moment: Joe describing the song Charlie about Kenneth's expected daughter, only to finish with the fact that there is no mother yet. @

I came into this show knowing that I like the few songs I had heard of them and the venue, but was expecting a chill, average acoustic show. Instead, I was presented with some of the best live guitar work from both the main artist and the opener, Molly Tuttle. My favorite shows are the ones where I feel as though I could leave the show after the opener and still get my money's worth. This was the case. Molly Tuttle rocked the house with amazing banjo and guitar work and exceptional accompaniment. Then, not only did I hear a set from the Milk Carton Kids that increased my respect for their music, but I got a full comedy show out of it as well! These guys gave perhaps the best audience interaction and inbetween song stage presence I have ever seen. The two to six minute bits between songs were never a bore or unwanted, and consistently gave the entire venue a good laugh. I see both the Milk Carton Kids and Molly Tuttle going great places in the future, and would see both of them again without a doubt.

Location:I'm from Baltimore, MD. I love my music.

You would never know The Milk Carton Kids are only two years into their existence by their tight Simon and Garfunkel like harmonies and their excellent guitar playing. They're also very humorous in their banter between songs. I had a chance to meet them after the show and found them to be wonderful humble guys. Aoife O'Donovan was also great as the opening act. She also is an excellent acoustic guitar player to go along with her beautiful voice. Both Aoife and The Milk Carton Kids are outstanding songwriters as well. The Birchmere is an excellent venue. The food and drink were very good. I like the general admission seating. We were able to get seats fairly close to the stage but there doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the house. I'm looking forward to coming back.

My wife and I saw the Milk Carton Kids perform at Birchmere Music Hall on April 23. It was the second time we have seen them perform and the first as the top billed act. In short they more than earned the billing. Their close harmonies, poignant lyrics and gentle but powerful songs reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel coupled with the droll, self deprecating humor of the Smothers Brothers. It worked.

The very mixed generational crowd spoke to the fact that their appeal embraces a widely divergent audience. Definitely a lovely and memorable evening.

Both acts were well worth the time & money. I've seen the MCK's 4 times now, and Aoife was my favorite opener so far.

The Milk Carton Kids are the pioneers for the new era of folk music. Using tight harmonies and sophisticated, musical foundations, they add their own blend of lyrics and melodies bringing the listener along for a ride of nostalgia but at the same time updating the genre.. Their sense of humor and wit paces the show allowing the audience to relax and engulf themselves into the music. Their musicality is extraordinary. From their amazing guitar playing to their original compositions, the Milk Carton Kids are a talent not to be missed especially in the intimidate venues such as the Birchmere.
