I have seen August Burns Red multiple times, and they never disappoint. The energy Jake Luhrs creates while on stage makes the entire crowd bounce. Having seen them before, I knew he likes to swing the microphone around. I waited for the shot and it looked as if he was aiming right for me! Great show.

I am forever astounded by the talent from JB Brubaker, Brent Rambler and Dustin Davidson. They know how to get the crowd pumped up unlike any other artist. I always enjoy when they basically play musical chairs with their instruments.  The amount of times that Dustin changes his instrument during a live performance illustrates how insanely talented he is.

Their drummer, Matt Greiner, has been one of my favorite drummers for several years. The speed and ferocity he uses to play his solo always makes my jaw drop. As soon as the first beat hits, I am immediately sucked in. I cannot wait to see them again! Great band…great show!!!
