Always hard to review since music is subjective, but if you enjoy Lisa Hannigan then don't miss her live. She has presence and makes beautiful, soulful music and her band is terrific. First time at Teragram and I will definitely go back for the sound and the intimacy of the place.
This is one of the best shows I've ever had the privilege to attend! It was refreshing to see the band members take turns leading in song or music or both. Lisa's voice and musicality are mesmerizing. Joe's lyrics and musianship and presence, were and are fantastic-- and anchored the youthful beauty of Lisa's music. All the music had incredible energy and I loved the blend of warmth, kindness, passion, light-heartedness and unabashed depth the group shared with the audience. Sixth and I is a great venue, too, and hearing these talented musicians in a sacred space only added grace and spirit to the experience!
Lisa Hannigan is a very talented and enjoyable performer and I loved hearing her sing. Unfortunately, in this show, I didn't hear her very much. There were many problems with the sound system. When I could hear the music, I was disappointed to discover that much of it was Joe Henry's rather than Lisa Hannigan's despite her being given first billing on the website and ticket. I did not feel that I saw the show I paid for.
Lisa was incredibly amazing, it was simply unfortunate that she had to tour with Joe Henry because he was overpowering her vocals with his wanna-be Dylan vocals. I absolutely can't wait to see Lisa again, I just really hope next time it's without Joe. As we were walking back to the car - we overhead other groups saying the same thing. Raving about Lisa's performance but complaining about Joe Henry.
i think the event title is misleading. the performances of both John Smith and Joe Henry were good, but the reason we went was to see Lisa perform. the set format was different, but i did not want to hear 2 songs from joe henry, 1 from john smith, and one from lisa hannigan, and have it all repeat again. it resulted in hearing give or take 6 songs from lisa's albums. with this event being about 1 hour and 30 minutes long, i didn't get to see or hear much of lisa's songs. performances were great, but i paid to see lisa hannigan - not joe henry and john smith. lisa's previous engagement in los angeles was a lot more enjoyable and was the reason why i had decided to see her live again.
Missed seeing the real Lisa Hannigan. Instead we got Joe singing her songs, a terrible sound mix and a disappointing show from 1/2 of her band. Where was the Lisa we've come to know and love?
This show is one of the best I've been to. I'd never been to the venue (the 6th & I Synagogue in DC) but was surprised how great the acoustics of the room were, and how beautiful it was a s well. I was only vaguely familiar with Joe Henry (although his song "Civil War" had become a song addiction in the weeks before the show) and knew John Smith from his tour with Lisa in 2011. The mix of the voices, including Ross Turner on drums, banjo and singing, was truly wonderful. Any time you can see one of all of these artists, take the time to do so. Slainte!
Lisa was amazing! As always she makes her collaborators sound like gold! John Smith is a rising star and really dynamic. I think every woman, and some men, in the hall was falling in love with his unique voice and British charm! And sexy handlebar mustache. Yup. Joe Henry was simply outmatched by these stellar performers. He must be a stellar producer, Lisa Hannigan's Passenger is art. But, he is NOT a dynamic performer, too much talk, no action.
One common denominator for Lisa & friends when she tours and whomever she tours with, they always deliver a bigger than life show, sharing the stage, and showcasing diverse talents. This was such a good show and you don't want to miss them when they're in your area. You'll be pleasantly surprised when John Smith (guitarist) gives a sample of some of his new solo project.
unfortunately there was also Joe Henry. Absolutely took away from all the other talent. His Gimmicky singing style was at best distracting. She doesn't need this guy on the same stage. Won't see her again until she drops him. And I am a loyal fan.
