Based on 38 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Bruce Hornsby is rated as a watchable live performer, with decent shows overall. Bruce Hornsby concert reviews describe live shows and performances as intense, exhilarating, incredible, genre-spanning, and evocative.
Hornsby’s generosity extended to the nearly 2.5-hour, single-set performance, which spanned 1986’s The Way it Is through 2022’s ’Flicted, with covers (Robert Johnson’s “Come On in My Kitchen”), fanciful improvisations (“Little Sadie”)
Bruce Hornsby might joke that he plays gigs for selfish reasons. But the pile of hand-written requests on his piano this past weekend at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis certainly suggested otherwise.
Pianist singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby shared the bill and sextet YMusic shared the bill for an evening of engaging music. The performance consisted of 3 sets: a performance by YMusic, a solo piano set by Bruce Hornsby, and a collaborative set of Hornsby and YMusic.
