Wow what a show! The energy and talent displayed on stage is rarely seen in Birmingham.

Jamie and the band were fabulous !!! Jamie has a soulful passion for music and it shows. Equally impressive was when he sang offstage with his bass player at his side. I look forward to his return to this area and hats off to Josh Ritter and his band...Amazing!

Another AMAZING show!! Just a fantastically energetic performance from an incredibly talented musician!! This is the 2nd time I have been able to see a show and both times have been blown away. Birmingham enjoyed having you so please come back as soon as you can!!

I went to the concert not knowing what to expect, and was I blown away! I thought Jamie Cullum would be a British version of Harry Connick Jr, but I experienced a frenetic concert full of energy and passion with delicate pauses enabling me to catch my breath. Jamie's song list in Birmingham took us down a road less travelled, on a bi-polar journey which was at times melancholy and morose then moving into a full blown sonic assault to the senses, and both musical styles were performed passionately and with exceptional musicianship. Bravo Jamie and your Band! Thanks for showing me what is musically possible when raw passion, a fantastic band, unbridled energy, a diverse and exceptional song list, and a lust for performing explode on stage. I left the concert dumbfounded and in shock, realizing that what I witnessed might never be repeated again ... until the next Jamie Cullum concert in Birmingham, Alabama at the historic Alabama Theatre! Thank you!

Saw Jamie for the first time last night at the Alabama Theatre. He was absolutely awesome!! I do not own any of his albums yet, but I certainly will soon. I wish I could harness his energy on stage. He is amazing, his band is amazing, and the show was amazing. Please come back to Birmingham soon!

Last night was amazing, fun and exhilarating. An amazing concert, I have never enjoyed myself more. The Alabama Theatre has never been that jumpin'.

As 40 something listeners ever since the college age daughter told us we had to hear Jamie Cullum (about a year ago, we absolutely loved the concert. Solid musicians, great tunes (both orginals and covers)and a very energetic and ethusiastic entertainer made this concert a blast. The intimate Alabama theater and a crowd of all ages made this a really special concert, one that we can't imagine we will get to experience again anytime soon. What a treat! We hope Jamie Cullum follows up on his promise to come to Birmingham again soon!

Fabulous performance! Such passion and energy is a true treat for music lovers. If you weren't moved by Jamie and his band, you obviously do not have a pulse.

Brilliant. It was my third time to see Mr. Cullum live and it was by far his best performance yet! It may have helped that I had back stage passes to meet him AND he covered Teardrop by Massive Attack. Breathtaking! Can't wait for his next cd and hopefully it won't be too long until I see him in Auckland, NZ!!!!!(I'll treat you to a drink JC)

It was my first time seeing Jamie in concert...but I had a BLAST! Jamie, you are amazing. I ended up giving up my shirt to him in the meet and greet line... and he kissed me on the cheek. IT MADE MY ENTIRE LIFE!

My husband caught a show on PBS featuring Jamie and decided to buy some tickets and give him a try in Birmingham. We LOVED it!!! What an awesome mix of sounds. He is one of our absolutely favorite artists now. We're waiting for him to tour the states again!
