WOW! I have never seen a performer with so much energy and charisma! We knew we loved the music when we bought the tickets for the show, but we expected a sedate, piano centered show. Imagine our surprise when a party erupted at the Calvin! By the end of the show the normally quiet audience was jumping and dancing in the aisles. We were in the balcony, which I thought was going to break free from the rhythm of the dancers. I will definitely see Jamie when he comes to town again---PLEASE come again!

Amazing Performance. After meeting Jamie and fellow performers after the concert, I would have to say it was an amazing night. The performance was flawless. Each performer compliments one another and I want all fans and band members to know that I truely recognize the unique sound they produce. From the small state of Vermont my boyfriend and I stand proud for being dedicated and appreciative Jamie Cullum fans. Keep up the good work.

I'm a Professional Jazz & Pop Piano player/writer for 35 years. After seeing Jamie Cullum Live at the Calvin, there is no doubt in my mind that he is THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER/MUSICIAN OF OUR TIME. The way he's going, he'll be as influential as Sinatra, Elvis, and the Beatles. Jamie has that much stage charisma! Excellent Jazz pianist & Writer, Great Band Leader, Great band. I sensed his excitement from his records, but seeing him live was 10x better. And that's because he really works it. You can tell he's improving all the time. His piano playing was better at the Calvin than on his records!! Jamie had 600 people, of all ages, jumping up and down and screaming at the end of the show. His sense of a good time is infectous. and by doing Jazz, Jamie is so much more sophisticated than your usual Pop artist. Plus he blows them away with his performance. JAMIE: You're the best! Keep being a nice guy, working hard & having fun !!!

I realized that the songs that Jamie produces on his albums are the essential song, the blueprint and structure of the song. However, when you see Jamie live he deconstructs the entire song that was his own and creates an engery surging new sound and flavor all its own. It is wonderful seeing a performer who is so willing to be experimental and adventurous onstage. It was the third and best Jamie gig I've been too! Such excitement as always.

Great show at the Calvin. Was glad our seats were reserved for us in the front row "ha ha". Couldn't get enough of Jamie, so I had to jump on stage. Can't wait till you come back!!!

In all the concerts, and all the bands I have seen in the last 30 years, there has never been one better than this show. Compared to even the greats like Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Diana Krall, even to Joni Mitchell in live concerts; he puts them all in the shade. Jamie is simply the most amazing talent I have ever seen. No lulls, no boredom, just a non-stop, incredible performance that had the audience insane by the third song. His writing, playing and singing are in perfect sync. He charmed the audience with a genuiness that can't be put on. He really loves what he does and it shows. I would travel hundreds of miles for the next Jamie show that comes anywhere near here. See him if you see no one else, even if you think you don't like jazz! Yeah, he is really that good.

By far, the most amazing show I've ever been to. His talent and energy is unbelievable! Incredible pianist and wicked beatboxing skills. Loved every aspect of the performance. Come back soon!
