Featured Review

The Atlanta Botanical Gardens was the perfect place to see Nanci Griffith perform! We got to enjoy a beautiful evening and listen to some of our long time favorite tunes as well as newer songs from Nanci's album. We were delighted in the fact that Nanci gave a little personal insight or quick (and often funny) story about most of the songs. Her sweet , folksy voice and amazing ability to really connect with her audience made for a night not to be forgotten any time too soon.

Magnificent. Nanci & the boys did the Blue Ridge Parkway proud. These musicans are asgraceful, beautiful and inspiring as our Beloved Blue Ridge Parkway and I couldn't have imagined a better way to kick off the celebration of the 75th Anniversay of a crowning achievement in American History by creating and continuing to perserve this most precious piece of real estate.

Nanci played in the Asheville Civic Center and we sat in the front row. It was intimate and personal as only she can deliver it. Some new, some old, and some in between. She definitely gives you your money's worth!

This concert was a benefit for the 75th Anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway, so it was fitting that Nanci perform there. She picked a wonderful repotoire of her catalog, mostly having to do with the road, saying that over the years she has been inspired while driving this road. She also said that the parkway has been a friend while she was criss crossing the country alone early in her career. Never one to shy away from speaking out, she of course, chatted with the audience between songs. Her drummer of over 20 years, Pat McInerey, was with her as well as Thomm Jutz, guitarist and JD Brown, bassist.

Theme was dedication to the 75th anniversary of Blue Ridge Parkway. The diversity of the show provided good entertainment...loved the Blue Ridge Blue Grass. Of course the real draw was to see Nancy Griffith. She was great as always, but her set at maybe 1 hr was too short...so that was the only dissappointment of the evening.

Nanci was really loose at this performance and mixed some really old songs with songs from her new CD. It's a toss-up as to whether the stories that accompany each song are better than the (great) songs themselves. Had great seats . Love Town Hall. Nice and cozy.

I travelled to NYC for the show at the Town Hall on Friday October 23, 2009. I had previously seen Nanci in September @ Santa Cruz, California. This was shortly after the release of The Loving Kind, and a recent foot injury. She was healed up and rolling in NYC...brought on opening act singer and some other guests..Loved It!

Nanci's voice was in great form, but did anyone do a soundcheck? The bass was booming and Nanci's voice was drowned out. People say that Town Hall doesn't have a bad seat in the house, but they do if you end up in orchestra right row K with a HUGE speaker system in your face. Nanci's song choices were great and her voice was strong, but it was no match for the bad job of sound mixing and overpowering bass lines and percussion. It was really a shame. People go to see Nanci to listen to her tell stories through her beautiful songs but no use trying to listen to a story when you can't hear the storyteller. :(

I have always had a mad crush for Nanci. Her music makes me feel young and alive and seeing her perform always makes me smile. Pretty goofy, eh? Well, like I said, I have it bad.

This performance was very good. Audio wasn't great - had difficulty understanding her spoken words. Wish she had done one of her own for the encore and wish, of course, the concert could have gone on longer.

Nanci Griffith was a shining star on Friday night at Town Hall. Her voice remains beautiful and her rapport with the audience was special. The three-man band was tight and professional without being overbearing. Her end-of-concert guests added to the sound, especially the background harmonies of Maura Kennedy. Nanci continues to proudly display her folkie roots from a Texas perspective. "If I Had a Hammer," a tribute to Mary Travers, Odetta and Pete Seeger, sparkled. The songs I knew from CD's sounded better live than they do on the recordings. Great show!

My husband and I had great seats in the orchestra in the third row. The band was great and moved thru the music with ease. I just felt so happy to hear many of the songs I knew and the conversation between the songs was a delight because Nanci brought the audience together that way. Of course, she is on the right side of my political views and seeing her buttons on her guitar strap made me fill connected to a bigger thing. And her songs sounded just like I knew them.

Nanci's voice is so beautifully, pointedly distinct, and her expressions and manner of such is pristinely divine. Stories behind song becomes the music. She does it so well. Carry on, Nanci.

I never saw Nanci Griffith in concert but have been listening to her music for years. Sometimes when you finally get to see one of your favorites in concert you are disappointed. I was blown away by the her concert. She is very warm, connects to the audience and her voice in concert is true to her recorded voice. Her guests were entertaining and the show "Just Worked".
