Show was amazing. She is a Canadian icon for a reason!
I just love her shows. Great choice for women in the arts gala.
Jann Arden was her usual phenomenal self. Her band and the NAC Orchestra blended beautifully. NAC catering, however, failed to provide gluten free hors d'oeuvres in their service. A small table, safe table would have been all that was needed given that those of us who have to eat this way make up about 3% of the population. It should be noted that vegetarian and vegan options were offered.
I’ve been to 13 Jann Arden concerts, my first was circa 1995/6 at Ottawa’s NAC and this one was definitely one of the top concerts of Jann’s. The NAC is the best venue for her music. I was thrilled to see NAC guest conductor Elizabeth Baird again, having seen her with Jann at her Christmas special in 2019, pre-Covid. The whole evening was special actually, and it was made even better because I was able to snag the best seats in the house, front row dead centre, literally 2” from the stage. It was such an intimate place to be seated, and even the usher who lead us to our seats was impressed.
The evening was exceptional on many levels. Jann Arden with the Orchestra, was amazing!
We loved her old and new music. We had to leave before the encore to catch a ferry so it would have been nice if Jann started on time instead of 15 minutes late.
Jann was fabulous. So funny, and so talented. I will definitely go and see her again.
Jann was so down to earth and personable with the crowd. Talks about her life and I feel like I know her from her pod cast and instagram. The venue the Orpheum was absolutely beautiful. The whole evening was just perfect.
Jann was great,my only concern is the venue allows patrons to “come and go” as they please during the entire performance.Several left their seats a couple of times to refresh beverages. Very interruptive to have a constant stream of people going back and forth. Feel this is disrespectful to performers.
Jann's singing and story-telling made it a memorable evening. Every one of our group of six enjoyed the show.
Classic Jann Arden concert. She’s got a beautiful voice, a great band, a wicked sense of humour, her songs are timeless, and she’s added some new dance moves to the show. Who could ask for more?
Nice evening but Jann needs to improve her latest works
Great entertainment, fantastic vibe, amazing music!!
Our fav Canadian icon was a superstar. Funny, real and as talented as ever.
Jann never disappoints. Such a lovely venue. Her new songs are awesome!!
Great concert. Only challenge was sitting up so high in the Upper Balcony at the Orpheum meant that often we could only see the top half of Jann when she moved forward on the stage. While her spotlight was obviously checked, when the seats are full of heads in front of you, it makes for tricky viewing. If she had stood back a little on the stage it would have been better for us way up in the Gods. And next time, I will spring for a more expensive ticket!
Jann Arden was great but our seats were lousy to say the least. We purchased good seats in 2020 to see this show at the QE theatre. With the covid postponement we were relocated to the upper balcony in the Orpheum. We couldnt see the stage without constantly looking around people for two rows in front of us. I will never attend anything in the orpheum in the upper balcony. Worst seats Ive ever had the misfortune to TRY and view a concert. Jann Arden was great!
2 concerts in one...her fantastic voice...and beautiful songs...and her amazing sense of humor...like being at a comedy show!!!..love you Jann!!!!
It was great to finally get to see Jann Arden live. Her voice, lyrics and music are great. She connects well with the audience in a humorous and heartfelt way. I was disappointed the venue changed from QE to Orpheum. The sound is good there, but the seats are uncomfortable if you're tall.
Jann was wonderful like always. The Orpheum is an amazing venue with great acoustics. I was really impressed with how Ticketmaster handled the show delay because of Covid kept me informed and when the venue changed made sure the seats were comparable.
