BT is leading the pack for live local music in Erie for original bands, as well as hosting national…read moretouring acts! They have an art club, host comedy shows, and every genre of music that the local scene and promotors can offer. Bobby J is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and is very accommodating. The main stage boasts the best sound system in Erie, with an array of seriously competent sound engineers to tie it all together. With their recent partnership with Voodoo brewery, they will be able to offer beer sales during shows, with it still remaining all ages! Finally- we have caught up with Ohio lol Never thought I'd say that. If you're in a band, however, don't expect to make any money performing here, unless you're touring or the host of the show, as margins tend to be very thin sometimes. Not a deal breaker for us at all, though! There is off street parking available but it is like a half block away. It's free though so that's nice.

I would definitely recommend Bigbar!!! They have a great selection and everything I ever had was…read moreabsolutely delicious! Their prices are very good and they give generous portions. Considering how busy they can get, I feel that your order is served in a decent amount of time. I definitely recommend sitting away from the entertainment if you want to talk though.

This gem of the theatre was located in downtown Erie Pennsylvania. It is easy to get to, although…read moreparking is difficult in downtown Erie. We were able to Uber it with no problem to and from where we were staying in the city. The architecture and the lighting and the acoustics in this building are amazing. The Erie, Philharmonic orchestra, and the choir were quite enjoyable to listen to with the music from avatar, Star Trek, and Star Wars.

When events are scheduled and go as planned, it's the greatest place around. HOWEVER, I get it's…read moreErie, PA and the winter weather is sketchy. When and if there are cancellations with concerts, usually they don't find out at the last second or minute. I get that certain artists/bands can't or won't show up because of the weather. I lived in Erie for awhile, I currently live south 90 minutes. My sister still lives in the heart of Erie. My husband bought 8 tickets to see Lou Gramm on 12/12/24. It's on his bucket list, and mine as well. Fast forward, weather emergency in Erie 10 days ago.... We get that happens. LONG story short we were told via the artist's email list that the concert has been postponed until early April (exact date not set as of yet). OK, cool.... Contacted Erie Events and no answer. They continue to update their page with "closed" or boasting new shows, yet cannot answer a question via Facebook. 4 days later, I receive a response saying to "please contact" a certain email address regarding my question. So, I did just that. 3 days later I get a generic response stating they cannot "confirm or deny" the show has been postponed or changed. Here's the deal... OUR group of 8 live over 90 minutes away. We ALL took at least 1.5 days or 2 off because of this concert. WE ALL paid for a hotel room. None of us are rich, we're simply wanting to see the best artist to ever live, Mr. Lou Gramm. We all need to cancel our hotel rooms (obviously) so we aren't charged for no reason if the show doesn't happen. I could go on and on. We saw Donnie Iris last May, we had an idiot spill beer on us who squeezed into the front row. It took security 3 songs to realize the guy was shouting "F" this and that. And, I think it was Donnie's crew who notified security, not them noticing there was an extra random guy screaming for no reason.....IN THE FRONT ROW. During John Mellencamp show we were not allowed to have the lids on our cups we pay top dollar for, just to be able to take into show. We were told that we'd "get replacements" at the next show because at the previous 'rap' show people tore the place up. A couple years ago Pat Benatar cancelled yet we were already there and only notified because of the lot attendant. A couple weeks ago Nitro Circus was cancelled. NOBODY knew until the time of the show. People waiting in line to get in. NOBODY notified until their not so wonderful staff posted a simple piece of paper on door saying it was cancelled. UPDATING the website would help A LOT. If someone is able to update that the electricity is out and posting new dates for new acts, then you can post for anything that is postponed or cancelled. I LOVE ERIE and Erie Events. I don't know if it is the new management or what is going on but personally, it's gone downhill, and fast. VERY disappointing. I will never try to take away the beauty of this place and what a gem it used to be. As of this date, 12/08/2024, I will never recommend anyone go there. I will also never purchase another ticket unless I know there is a change at the boxoffice.

We started with "the 33" and "Black Widow", but I swapped the tequila for mezcal and that was a good choice! The 33 was absolutely delicious...but they did run out of Penelope for the day. So, a second drink unfortunately didn't happen. We put our order in for food about 10 minutes after getting there. No joke, the food arrived almost an HOUR later. We had to ask the bartender what was up; there was no proactive alert as to when the food was arriving. That was off-putting. The food was very good. It's hard to get a pork chop right and they managed to achieve it. The sides were also delicious. My husband's steak was very good and the spicy crema that they put on top was a nice touch. The wait time for the food was unacceptable, honestly. Something should have been comped, but the bartender was too busy to notice. No water refill for close to 30-40 minutes either. We would return but definitely on a different day, when they maybe have more employees working in the kitchen. Or maybe just skip food altogether. *shrug*

My brother Paul and I trekked up to the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center in Erie, PA for the…read moreBuddy Guy concert this past weekend. The D'Angelo is owned and operated by Mercyhurst College. It's used for both a performing arts center and a movie theatre. I didn't know it was the only cinema within the Erie city limits, but they show a lot of art & indie flix here that otherwise wouldn't play in a city like this. They've shown "The King's Speech", "Winter's Bone", "Waiting for Superman", etc. They've also got a brew-n-view series here. But it's first and foremost use is as a concert facility. It's a pretty modern space--only about 15 years old. It's got about 700 seats in it, which is perfect for a city the size of Erie. My brother and I had main floor center seats for the Buddy Guy concert and I can tell you that the sightlines here are excellent as are the acoustics. Although not as historic as the Byham in Pittsburgh or the Palace in Greensburg, it's a great place to see a show. Okay music fans. You know that this being a Susan concert hall review, you're gonna get a review of the show itself. Well I shan't disappoint. While some performers are w-a-y past it (hello Mike Love & What's Left of the Beach Boys), Buddy Guy can still belt out a blues tune. He can still play a guitar lick that'll put guys 50 years his junior to shame. I guess it is true that the blues had a baby and named it rock-n-roll. Buddy sounded best when he concentrated on such material as "Damn Right I've Got the Blues", "Hoochie Coochie Man" (um, Eric Clapton, I love you too but you're too well polished for this one), and a few others. He played a rollicking version of his latest, the autobiographical "74 Years Young". And when he sang "Skin Deep", a song about racial relations so emotionally honest it almost puts Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" to shame, I was almost moved to tears. But there were a couple of problems with the show. First of all, how do you condense a 50+ year career into 90 minutes? You can't. Second of all Buddy Guy couldn't seem to separate Buddy Guy the personality from Buddy Guy the performer. He seemed to be alternating between doing extended jams and working the audience. No I haven't been to many blues concerts and yes I am aware that they do extended jams. But I've never been very fond of them and this probably explains why I've never been fond of jam bands like Grateful Dead, Phish, and the Dave Matthews Band. The other thing was when Buddy was working the crowd, he seemed to be doing shtick. As one fan said, he'd seen him many times and essentially Guy's been doing the same thing for the past 30 years. My friend Catherine saw him recently in Joliet and said the same thing. An online reviewer said he did 10 mostly complete songs and a lot of screwing around. Still, we love ya Buddy! Your CD "Living Proof" is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time and it occupies a special place in my collection (and lemme tell ya, for a chick that's got 300+ CDs, that's saying something). You've drank wine with kings/And the Rolling Stones. When you get down to it, you can still play with the best of 'em. If you'd just given me and Bro a few more tunes and a little less horsin' around, I could've given you a five star review!
