Johnny Reid on Tour
When Johnny Reid introduces a song, his natural Scottish burr is plain as day, but as soon as the Canadian country star — who moved to Canada as a kid — starts to sing, the North American spirit inhabits him. Reid's voice is full of classic country twang, but at the same time it bears a gruff brand of soulfulness that can sometimes make him sound like a country version of Bruce Springsteen. The band pumping away behind him sports a similar mixture of musical flavors, bringing a dash of rock 'n' roll and soul to Reid's countrified tunes. Never one to put on airs, Reid brings a guy-next-door vibe to his performances, no matter how big the venue, and even when he's got the crowd singing along in an arms-aloft anthem, he still has a way of maintaining an intimate connection with his audience on every song.
Johnny Reid in Concert
When Johnny Reid was a child in the small Scottish town of Lanark, it would have seemed incredibly unlikely that he would grow up to become a Canadian country music star — but that's exactly what he did. Reid was 13 when he and his family made the move to Canada, and it didn't take long for him to soak up the North American vibe that would one day guide his career. In 1997 Reid released his debut album, Another Day, Another Dime. It wasn't until his third album, 2005's Born to Roll, that things really began to take off for Reid; the single "Gypsy Soul" hit No. 12 on the Canadian country charts, and the album eventually went platinum in Canada. Solidly on the path to stardom, Reid went on to score a long string of hits in the years to come. In the process, he also managed to rack up an astonishing number of honors, including multiple Juno awards, and a towering heap of awards from the Canadian Country Music Association.
Johnny Reid gave an unforgetable energizing performance, down to earth guy, belted out smooth rythmic vocals, no straining or off notes! the back up was amazing too, fidler, vocalist......
Awesome concert, seats were great an appreciated that the crowd was sold out and a small venue. Made it very intimate. The audience loved that he came so close to the fans jumping off the stage to greet us.
The energy of the Johnny Reid cobcert was absolutely amazing. He put so much life into his performance and his emotions seemed genuine, although I don't know if you can really pour onthe love like that night after night. The opener , Victoria Banks was so great too. I was so impressed with the quality of the people that Johnny Reid has surrrounded himself with. The fiddle player, saxophonist, backup singers, guitarists were superb and certainly rounded out a great performance. I'll definitely be at the next concert in Prince George!!!!!!
This was the best concert we have been to! The man is the ultimate entertainer. He can relate to the audience and made us all feel a part of the show. His energy and voice are unbelievable. Would go see him perform again.
Johnny Reid was so into his performance and made the audience feel the same way. Going out into the audience was incrediable, and also going from side to side so everyone was included, not only preforming to the people in front of him. I went to another top performers show last October in Prince George and he just seemed to perform, not include the audience. With Johnny Reid you felt he really appreciated having the crowd there. After his show was over I said if he had another performance the next night, I would go to it again. I purchased my ticket to see Johnny Reid last April and I am so glad I did.
Johnny's show was not only refreshing because he brought children on stage, came into the crowd passing out hugs and handshakes, but he brought his entire band and back up singers to the forfront of the show. He was gracious, alive and the positive energy in the CN center was powerful through the entire show. A great gentleman and humble entertainer, Johnny put on an amzing show. Definately not just another celebrity, Johnny Reid made an impact, especially on all the families and kids he brought into the show! Thanks for a great time Johnny : ) BTW, he has an amazing voice, sounded better live than on his CD!! : )
I absolutely loved Johnny Reid's performance. I love the way that he interacted with his audience. I absolutely love his songs, I will definitely go and see him again and will recommend my friends do the same. Love you Johnny!!!!
We drove for three hours (got a speeding ticket i might add) spent the night in a hotel and drove home the next day...would I do it again you ask. You bet your bottom dollar I would. Johnny Reid's music is awesome and he is an amazing performer. He walked around the arena shaking hands with the fans and hugging the ladies. The sad part to all this was it ended too soon. Johnny Reid Rocks! :)
I expected him to be good .But he went way beyond. The whole show from beginning to end was dynamic! The back up singers were amazing, the whole crew was.
One of the most sexy stars out today, the accent, the gravel voice, the movement of his body! My girlfriend had never heard of Johnny before and had just come back from ACDC, she was blown away, all as good as acdc. Really is the Rod Stewart of Country! Can't wait tosee him again. His opening act, Victoria Banks was soooo good. Bought her cd and am playing it steady. What a night!
Johnny as always was amazing. His backup singers and band were equally impressive. His ability to interact with the audience and BE in the audience is unmatched. This is the 2nd time we've seen him and we would definitely see him again. Ticket prices were great in comparison to some of the acts who have and will be playing the same venue.
We have been fans of Johnny Reid for a while and we were delighted when he was coming to Prince George. The concert did not disappoint -he was energetic, generous in sharing the spotlight with his band members, but above all he connected with the audience on a level you don't often see at alive concert. He is as genuine and heartfelt as his music.
Johnny Reid gave an amazing and vibrant performance. We were on our feet for most of the concert. The connection that he made with the audience was electric he had the entire CN Center begging for more. I will be going again when he comes backs to Prince George. Thanks for a great evening out for me, my husband, and our friends, Johnny.
Johnny Reid is the absolutely entertaining people entertainer. The joy he gave to all the people that he touched, the children he involved well probably never forget those moments. When he clasped my hand it was an absolute thrill of "Wow" he really makes a person feel so good about being there. Wish I had my kilt. Will put him him right up there with Susan Boyle, Andy Murray, Andy Stewart and all the rest of the people in the highlights of the Blue and White Cross. When he comes back this way again, without a doubt will be there hooting, cheering, and in total happiness. All in all - he has a way of making you feel good. Good going Johnny and hope to see you soon in the near future
johnny reid was simply amazing. his energy is endless, he doesn't stay still for a moment. if he's not down dancing with the audience, then he's dancing on stage.truly a crowd pleaser, i highly recommend him to everyone.
The concert was awesome, he sang lots of his hits and danced around and had a great time with the crowd. He came right out into the audience and right up to where my friend and mom and I were sitting, we didn't expect that. Totally cool.
Johnny Reid is an AMAZING performer. If ever given the opportunity I would highly reccomend seeing him in concert. He has a way of reaching to each and every person in the audience and make you feel like you are having a private performance.
One of the most enjoyable evening we spent in a long time . He was great . Way to go Johnny Reed. Will go and see him again if he come to Prince George .
Johnny Reid was an amazing performer! Not only does he have an incredible and powerful voice, but he got right down among the crowd and danced with little kids and gave out hugs to some of the fans:) His band were also some great musicians and excellent performers. As the opening act, Victoria Banks also put on a great performance and nailed the songs she wrote that have been recorded by artists like Sara Evans and Jessica Simpson. Overall worth WAY more than the $50 I paid for my ticket!!
Best Concert In a Long time,Every body in the band seemed to be having a blast
