```Kaleo Chicago reviews
Packed House
"I've been attending Kaleo's performances for 13 years now. The piano skills he displays are consistently outstanding. The venue, suitable for such shows, unfortunately, sold around 250 tickets more than it should have. Hopefully, Ben received a generous reward for his performance, as it was challenging to navigate the crowded space. It had been a year and a half since I last attended one of Ben's concerts. The setlist was impressive, with a plethora of fantastic songs to choose from. However, I hoped to hear some different popular tracks. I particularly enjoyed the encore featuring Kate, during which Ben showcased his drumming skills with "wipeout." I look forward to the next opportunity to see him perform at a larger venue."
