Ezra Furman tour dates 2023

Recent tour reviews

• Ezra Furman

  I've seen Ezra several times now and every show feels very different. This was probably Ezra at his most straight-forward and he was just brilliant. Passion mixed with fragility, he built a really good relationship with the audience - us cheering him on, him drawing strength from such open appreciation. He really is one of the more original and exciting people performing at the moment - it rates as my best concert of 2019 so far.

• I took my kids - girl and boy aged 9 and 12 - to their first concert: Ezra Furman - their favorite artist that I introduced to them, him being one of my own favorites. We have played his brilliant album, Perpetual Motion People for about 2 years in the car

  We arrived early at Bitterzoet, Amsterdam, and the owner of the concert hall invited us in as I had spoken to him on the phone before and were so early at the door. I brought us to where the kids could sit to see - on the bar. As we walked in, Ezra Furman walked passed us with a smile on his face in recognition of how young would be these attendees of his concert that evening. They would be the only kids there.

  It was just the beginning of Furman's interaction with us. It continued with him playing Inês's favorite track after I called out to request it, plus flashing them a smile from the stage after a meaningful spoken piece. The concert, happening about a week after his new album came out, Transangelic Exodus. The concert brings it alive with his commitment to the songs and the detail that Furman brings to the live performance. Following the concert, the owner, who had seen the t-shirts of the artist that the kids were wearing (which I had made for my daughter's school presentation on Furman), went and asked backstage if Ezra would sign them.

  We went upstairs, otherwise out of bounds to the public, and Furman came out. We chatted for quite sometime with him - I found had a lot to say regarding his music, which focusses on sexuality, identity and mental health issues (to very engaging melodies). It was quite a mind-blower for the kids who got a long inscription on their t-shirts and to stare at him at length. He is a bit of a hero of all of us, the owner of Bitterzoet too!

• I saw the wonderful Ezra Furman and his excellent band, the Visions at Bitterzoet, Amsterdam, last Tuesday. I am still dazed by this amazing show! Such talent, originality, energy and passion!

  I am almost 72 and have heard a lot of music in my life, but I can safely say that I have never been so deeply touched by a concert as by this one!

  Do yourself a favour and check them out and don’t miss them when they have a gig in your country or region. I have travelled to London twice to see them ( in the Roundhouse and in the Barbican) and I will go again on 23 May to see them in O2 Brixton Academy.
