Jon Batiste New Haven reviews
AKUS was stupendous ...Willie a disappointment
Alison Krauss, in my opinion, has the purest voice in ANY genre of music today! They performed for nearly 1 1/2 hours and put on a fantastic show from the crowd response which numbered an estimated 10 - 12,000 at the outdoor venue on The Great Lawn at the Louisville Waterfront Park. Jon Batiste was another story. The Louisville crowd was generally into AKUS. Attending ANY AKUS concert, you can't go wrong. He mostly spoke his lyrics but he's 81 ...AND a Legend! But, overall, I'd recommend the concert! The warmup act Wild Feathers from Nashville was very good but, I'm prejudiced to Bluegrass and to her. Union Station featuring the world renowned dobro artist Jerry Douglas has been playing with Alison for 17 - 24 years and they are superb. However, the crowd WAS into AKUS. This may be his final concert tour and that's the reason I went to the concert.
