CASS MCCOMBS IN CONCERT:
Cass McCombs is a legendary singer-songwriter, a modern day troubador, and above all else a natural storyteller. Whether he's singing about the gold rush or rural life in Kansas, McCombs imbues his Americana-infused narratives with the wit and melancholy of a world-class author. At his live shows, his winding tales are underscored by lush instrumentation, as talented players bring his stories to life and intricate arrangements give his wistful compositions added depth. Riding high on the warm reception of 2013's Big Wheel and Others, McCombs will treat fans to marathon sets of new and old material on a string of upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in California, McCombs led a nomadic existence in his early twenties, bouncing around the country while honing his songwriting skills. His 2003 debut album A was a hit with critics, resulting in extensive touring that included everything from small house shows to massive festivals. Several more critically acclaimed albums followed in the '00s, including 2007's Dropping the Writ and 2009's Catacombs, the latter of which was named one of Pitchfork Media's Top 50 albums of the year. Over the last decade, McCombs has performed and toured with a laundry list of talented artists including Cat Power, Modest Mouse, and the Arcade Fire. Back on the road, McCombs will treat fans to his signature storytelling prowess on a series of highly anticipated tour dates.

The show was great - the musicianship was a highlight - glad I had an opportunity to see McCombs, his work is unheralded in the mainstream, but amazing to see live - backed by talented musicians. The crowd however, for a bunch of 30-40 somethings (it looked like), was strangely dominated by really loud obnoxious guys. Weird for a singer-songwriter audience I would think. Love the show, didn't like the crowd
Cass McCombs is the best songwriters of this generations, I saw I heard I witnessed , I agree.
Cass and the band sounded great and played for about 2 hours. A number of groovy jams throughout the set made for an enjoyable evening.
Cass McCombs was just great. Even though he doesn't really engage with the audience , he is that good ...It was absolutely amazing. I'm not missing any upcoming shows...
Cass McCombs new album blew me away and is one of the most engrossing albums I have ever listened to. But his talents go beyond Big Wheel and Others and that was on full display at the Sinclair. Big Wheel, Prima Donna, Love Thine Enemy, ... The set list and lights pulsed alternative energy that just isn't present in any other band today. Then the lights in front went out, which created the perfect dreamlike effect for Dreams Come True Girl, which was really beautiful. It was amazing to see such talent in such a cozy place and that juxtaposition seemed as evident to Cass as well as the crowd. Quiet restraint marked by an underlay feeling that what was there needed to be celebrated, but somehow cannot be fully realized. I am left wanting to see more, to experience more songs ( especially from Big Wheel ). Hopefully others will get to see him and his band and post videos, so I can continue to see the concert that should have somehow covered more of his songs. Left wanting more, but I understand that time is more limited than Cass McCombs' talents.
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
I really like Cass McCombs. I have his records and was lucky enough to see him in Nashville, TN, last week on top of being able to see him in Williamsburg. The Nashville gig was incredible. Really, really good. But this gig at Williamsburg, well... To be fair, the sound was bad, and you could tell Cass was struggling with it a bit. He's a quiet singer, which would make it hard for any FOH engineer, but the odd burst off feedback here and there did not make for a pleasant experience. Cass's setlist was also good, but probably not as good as the one I saw in Nashville, if only for the reason he played more of my favourite songs there.
set was too soft and boring, refused to play his most popular songs, didn't even thank the crowd at the end! I'd rather listen to his records than see him on stage... amazing artist though!!!!
