"Fans were lucky enough to see Porter traverse his musical catalogue..."

"She seemed to sing with her whole body as she moved with uncanny elasticity across both musical and emotional registers."

"Tonight was a glorious, full-throated dismissal of that notion."

"... His throwaway style of singing was very refreshing in a time where soft, autotuned, pitch-perfect vocals are everywhere."

"Darnielle certainly knows how to structure a setlist for maximum emotional impact."

"A heaving Basement audience found a nice surprise, hearing the once-smooth voice transformed into a husky and raspy cry that was stronger than expected."

"We're not One Direction, Take That or Kylie Minogue," dapper frontman Graham "Suggs" McPherson pointed out, just in case the crowd needed any reminding."

"Santana's 1999 smash hit 'Smooth' leaves nobody in doubt that they're witnessing one of the greatest guitarists ever to shred the stage."
