Review:
I got my girlfriend and I tickets to see Ben Rector for our anniversary. We are both a big fan and he makes sappy love songs.
Ben Rector put on a phenomenal show. Playing everything you would want him to. Some songs from the new album and all of the hits from the previous ones. He played my favorite song, “Old Friends” second.
Every song felt like an encore. It wasn’t a showy type of concert. No screen with videos were needed. The five piece band played so well together and Ben didn’t something that I really appreciated. He introduced his band before a new song started. He said his band was much funnier and talented than him and introducing them during a song wasn’t enough.
Ben Rector was very modest and very fun. He talked with the audience about his days in Boston and shared his golf scores with the crowd. He played some songs with just one other band member as they were very intimate.
There was a cover or two.
