Dent May San Diego reviews
A bit chilly
"The concert itself was a great experience, made me wish I had brought a jacket due to cold air blowing from an air conditioning vent underneath our great seats. Dent May put on a good show, but my only negative comment is they need new material as they talk between numbers. The music was uplifting and inspiring, creating a wholesome and friendly atmosphere. It was essentially the same concert we went to three years ago with many of the same jokes and stories. However, I heard no profanity, making it a very family-friendly environment. Other than that, it was truly wonderful to attend the concert. I highly recommend their music - these guys are very talented!"
