What people wrote about nights in Santa Rosa
A guest for 2Cellos · Fri, 20 Mar 2015
Really enjoyed the show last night - you guys were amazing. A very special concert indeed. We thought the opening act was a perfect match too. Come back often!!
A guest for Gladys Knight · Fri, 06 Jan 2012
It was delightful. Gladys has maybe lost a step at 79, but the voice, charm and graciousness of this legend over-shadowed her age. Her band of studio musicians were fantastic and the backup singers were amazing. Overall, not being sure what to expect, we left LBC with our hearts full and confident saying it was one of the best shows we’ve seen in a long long time.

A guest 100% for Johnny Mathis · Sat, 10 May 2025
I am so grateful to have heard the legendary Johnny Mathis backed by the fabulous Mancini Orchestra. Johnny is 81 and performs for the pure joy and standing ovation enthusiasm he receives after almost every song. A packed audience was shouting "We love you Johnny" at the now elderly and utterly adorable little bent man with the unmistakable voice. His cautious, teasing little body moves and attention to each section of the audience was perfect.
He entered onstage wearing a "Miami Vice" white jacket and to me was unrecognizable under his shoulder length gray hair and bent stance. When the orchestra started playing and Johnny sang "When I fall in love", it was magic. His voice has a mellowness to it that I prefer to his decades earlier recordings. His memory is spot on, as is his phrasing and breath control. He could definitely record and I hope he does. I hope he knows how much his audience took away from that last performance that will ( at least for me) be a cherished memory.
