Band of Horses

At the time of the Bonnaroo performance on June 12, 2009, Band of Horses had recently released their sophomore album "Cease to Begin" in 2007. This album saw them cementing their presence in the indie rock scene, with tracks such as "Is There a Ghost" and, of course, the iconic "The Funeral." The live performance at Bonnaroo captures the band's distinctive blend of atmospheric sounds and heartfelt melodies that resonated deeply with fans. Interestingly, the band was returning to the stage after a health scare involving lead singer Ben Bridwell, which adds a layer of emotional depth to the set. This performance highlights not just their musical talent but also their resilience as a band, connecting with the audience on a personal level, which is especially poignant during such a vibrant festival atmosphere.
