Saw him at two of this year’s Fringe Teasers and many times over the years (at Fringe and other places). Multi-award winning, decades-long pro, annual Fringe fan favorite (don’t think he’s missed a year over these last 2 decades), you’ll be sad you missed John ‘Br. John’ Anderson when you hear from those that didn’t.
Brother John always brings his A game…but this one as way beyond that. Astounding show. Incredible talentđź’š
Great performance of classic, well-recognized songs. Insightful background stories/”tidbits” make this a really powerful presentation … this is not one to be missed!
Saw his show tonight. He touched my soul with his heartfelt passion for the music and compassion for people. If you want to feel joy in your life, go see his show.
This show is so good! The stories, the music . . . The best.
Great show! Brother John is quite the entertainer. Lean On Me and My Way were particularly amazing.
Br. John balances soul-filled singing with heartfelt storytelling to deliver an all-round satisfying show. Don’t miss it!
Brother John channels not just one legend of song, as he has done so beautifully in past years, but a whole delicious array of all-time modern music legends! Added to his spot on voice impressions is the heartfelt passion that really transports his audience. He’s always a joy and should not be missed!
The standing ovation at the end of this show is so well deserved! Brother John curated a musical journey filled with stories and song threading the importance of people, connection, and love in life. I left this show feeling joy and with a warm heart.
Brother John and Rick Cole on guitar is surely a vibe to feel! These two are bread and butter. The hits are classic, the jams are jamin
This show was glorious! Warm, wistful, charming!
This show was fantastic! The time flew by! The stories and music were mesmerizing!
I’m a fan! I’ve seen Brother John’s Marvin Gaye show and his Bill Withers show, but this is the first performance in which I’ve seen him engage so directly with the audience. He drew us in from the start. “People! Love!” He sustained the connection with a thoughtful story to accompany each song. At the end, the audience spontaneously rose to give him a standing ovation.
Kansas City Treasure ,Brother John, delivers a fantastic experience. Not to be missed.
Bro John ALWAYS delivers…he brought stories and music together to involve and mesmerize the audience. Bro John and Rick Cole (on guitar) brought the songs to life and filled the room with Love! We have followed John and Rick for years and would not have missed this KC Fringe performance for anything.
One of his best. I always love Brother John but this one’s voices were particularly spot on. The way that he shared all of this while sharing personal stories was especially touching.
Brother John now holds my heart♥️ forever! 🎆His smooth hypnotic voice, amazing talented routines, handsome looks, combined with his entertaining moves and dedication to teaching an important history lesson, I believe places him well above all other performers. I can’t wait to experience him again 🤩 Sincerely yours, TeresaB
What a fantastic and delightful show!!!
The ultimate performer! Once again, Brother John brings a captivating program drawing on performers that have influenced him. His ability of mimic these different “legends” is remarkable. I was particularly amazed at his recounting of MLK’s speech. Spot on!
Thankyou Brother John for another gem of Fringe.
