If you have seen one Garrison’s solos shows, please leave your review in the comments.
In an age of grandiose spectacles to see one very perceptive, very intelligent man stand up on a dark stage and gently tell the world what it needs to hear but forgot to listen to... is a great gift to humanity. To the limited extent there is any (humanity) left in us. Mr. Keillor finds it and brings it out.
We’ve seen his solo show twice and both times were great. The show at the Ryman was good ( Garrison AND the Ryman?!?! What’s not to love?!?), but our favorite was at the Caverns in Pelham, TN. Not only are the acoustics amazing, but the setting just feels more personal. After the show, we walked out of the cave to discover Garrison standing on the sidewalk talking to anyone who wanted to talk. My favorite part was when we all sang. It’s amazing to hear that many total strangers come together for the first time and we all know the words and sing together as though we’ve been practicing all week. I highly recommend the solo show for all fans, and I hope that he does another one in Kentucky or Tennessee soon.
