What I liked

The music, the lyrics, the smart, well-written and charming patter in between the songs, the simple way it was presented. Everything.

What I didn't like

I wish it was at a bar. It’d be great to have a drink while enjoying the show.

My overall impression

This show is a great example of being perfect for being exactly what it is. It’s a dude, a keyboard and some great songs – presented simply without anything extraneous. And that’s the charm. A show like this lives or dies on the material, not just the songs but the performer’s patter and rapport with the audience. There’s nothing to hide behind. And 12 Bars succeeded spectacularly.
