City Auditorium

"This team of ushers went above and beyond to accommodate my husband who is a disabled veteran and his service animal for the Old Crow Medicine Show. The show was amazing and so incredible thanks to this wonderful team."

"In October 2023, I was lucky enough to experience Rocky Horror Picture Show at this venue. This was my second time ever getting to experience RHPS with an audience. AMAZING!!! Completely blew my first experience out of the water. The host, she was freaking awesome; her name escaped me, but I do believe she said that is one of the tour guides in ES. She truly made the night an experience. I really hope that this venue allows RHPS again and again, my bestie, and I will certainly be there every year. Thank you for a truly memorable evening!!! The only negative thing about the night, they only have Disani water. Ugh, they should switch it out for Sam's Choice... much better flavor."

"The Auditorium is a lovely building. Parking is challenging, but I simply parked and paid for 24 hours and walked to and from my rental cottage. That way I could drive back in the dark rather than walk. The venue is personable and the employees friendly. There was a bar. The seats comfortable as much as an auditorium can be. The acoustics were great and Robert Cray put on a great show. I highly recommend this city and music venue. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance."

"Went to the Robert Cray concert on October 1, 2023. Amazing building, great view from balcony seats. House pre-show music was very loud. Lead in band to play came on stage, and the sound system was still WAY TOO loud! House sound engineer should have turned it down at least half-way. Not the band but the house sound system, and it was the bass and lower frequencies that shook the house/seating in the balcony. So much so that the guitar and lead singers voice was barely heard. We like good music at elevated levels of sound, but when you can't hear the singer or the guitars...we left the auditorium, as did several others. So we wandered. Came back to the auditorium about 45 minutes later, and could still hear the overwhelming bass and lower frequencies outside. Was able to re-enter, and with our 'decibel level' app on our phone in the balcony we measured up to 103 decibels in the back row of the balcony near the entrance. Fortunately it was the last song of the lead in band. Mr. Cray came on stage, set up, and the back ground music during setup was still WAY TOO loud. We gave it a chance that the band would be at a better level. Mr. Cray and friends began to play but the house volume was just as high as before. This time we could hear Mr. Cray's voice and guitar, and the keyboard, and drums. The music they played was great! But the sound system in the house was WAY TOO LOUD!!! So loud (up to 100 decibels on our app) that our ears could not take it without pain. My wife even had her 'Dubs' in her ears (helps her with too loud of sharp sounds) and we had enough. Had to leave toward the end of the second song. Extremely disappointed!!! Mr. Cray was great!!!, but the Auditorium sound level was unbearable. Ear plugs or ANR headsets quite probably would be no help and would diminish the experience of the music. Sound engineers for the auditorium need to really take a hard look at the sound volume setting for future concerts..."

"Whew! She was overflowing for Ray Wiley Hubbard! But, oh man, what a fun night! The crowd and the entertainment were first rate in my book!"
