Personal, beautiful, stripped & perfect. Amazing show of acoustic story-telling.
There wasn't a song performed that wasn't heart-felt and beautiful but my favorite was probably acoustic Jesus On A Greyhound. It was also nice to have her start the show by performing her newest album, Revelation Road, in its entirety prior to bringing out some old favorites. The highlight for me was when Shelby handed me her guitar pic at the end of the show. ...Oh, and getting to meet her for a few seconds when she came out for a meet-and-greet. A night I'll never forget.

The venue was great, as it was more intimate and felt more personal. The opening act was Grayson Capps, and he was hilarious and extremely talented! Shelby herself was as haunting as ever. She did an acoustic solo show....just her and the guitar. That girl can sing!. Wowzers! It was a very soulful and personal show. I very much wish that I had a live recording of the entire show. I love everything Shelby does, but her live performances are just far superior to any album recording..... I enjoyed the whole experience very much, and would come back and watch any show there again, especially her! Excellent,excellent,excellent!

I've always known she had one of the best voices in the business, but she's an exceptional guitar player as well. Toss in the fact that she's also one of the brightest and most talented song writers in the industry and you have the trifecta of a perfect show. If you ever get a chance to see her, do it.

Shelby put on a great performance. You could see that she felt comfortable with the audience - she was relaxed and her voice was fantastic. She is very talented. It was hard to believe how quickly the time went by. We totally enjoyed the evening and liked the setting. I would go again.

This was my third time seeing Shelby Lynne, the second time on the current tour. Each performances has been first rate. She's a captivating performer. Her songwriting is mature, and her vocal phrasing and dynamics are impressive. At this show, she seemed more serene and relaxed than on the previous occasions, which only added to my enjoyment. She signed autographs and posed for pictures after the show, which was a special treat.

An incredible 1 1/2 hour performance by Shelby Lynne. The 20th Century Theater was the perfect venue for her acoustic guitar playing and hugely talented singer/song writer skills. think she was as much captivated by the enthusiastic audience as we were enthralled by her performance.

General admission seating? No problem for a real fan! Not the first one through the door, but had first pick of the seating since I had purchased my ticket in advance !!! Planted myself front and center for an amazing evening! Singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, etc....Not too many performers with the array of talent Shelby continues to display after 20+ years on the scene. Still have my autographed picture from her Country debut in Oklahoma City in the late 80's. Oh, and it was all acoustic !!! YUM !!!

Glad I finally found a venue to catch back up with her. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for another showing.

Shelby Lynne played the 20th Century in Oakley Tuesday night. She played by herself, with no other accompaniment except her guitars, 2 beers, a mike and her marvelous voice.

Time stopped for a few hours as Shelby Lynne shared her passion and her talent for a near sold-out crowd Sat at the Folly Theater. From her newest songs off of Redemption Road to her familiar tunes from her classic I am Shelby Lynne, she mesmerized and radiated as a lone light on the stage.

Great show! Shelby was onstage by herself for almost two hours. Love her voice and that girl can pick guitar. The Folly was a wonderful venue. We were up in the balcony but the acoustics were so good it was like we were sitting right up front. Enjoyed Bill Shapiro before the show too. In fact, probably would not have been there if not for his show, Cyprus Avenue on KCUR.

Setlist: She played the songs from Revelation Road during the first half, and then played some of her most popular hits from her previous albums. "Leavin'" is always a staple at any of her shows, with good reason. @

This was the 10th time that I have seen Shelby Lynne, and it was the most reserved audience I have ever seen at her shows. Granted, the show was put on by NPR, and the audience reflected that. The Foley Theater was architectually an amazing venue. The acoustical qualities of the theater carried her voice very well, although the guitar amps did seem a bit low.

Shelby pulled off a great show none-the-less. It goes to show the talent that comes from years of hard work. How such a powerful voice can come from from someone so little astonishes me every time.

All said, it was a great show, though very reserved. If you get a chance to see her in a music bar, especially down south, i.e. Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, go to the show. You will not be disappointed. The southern venues attract some very active audiences that Shelby plays off of very well.

No introduction, nobody else on the stage, no fancy lighting, she just walks out and starts signing in the most controlled voice I have ever heard. Each note, each lyric seems to have been worked on, massaged, crafted until it is perfect to her. The most precise guitar strumming, chords,and volume that fits perfectly to her voice and the lyrics.
No "throw away" notes or lyrics here---everything she did was necessary.
Lyric Theater sound was great as usual.

This was my third time seeing Shelby at the Birchmere. This time it was only Shelby and her guitar, and it was just as good as the previous two shows (with additional musicians). I think she's sounding better, her writing is just as good, and the way her voice can fill a room is amazing. She also did a meet-and-greet and it was an honor to finally meet her.

I've seen Shelby Lynne a number of times before, but always with a band -- amazing that at the Birchmere this time it was just Shelby, that incredible voice, accompanying herself on acoustic guitars...

She totally nailed that show -- awesome display of both vocal and guitar skills, it was a gift to her fans...

Shelby is an incredible songwriter who has the most beautiful voice and guitar skills. Why we do not hear more of her on the radio, I don't know. Tuesday's concert, at the Birchmere was, was amazing. Love getting to meet her after the concert, as well!
