Band of Horses

At the time of their New Year's show on December 31, 2009, Band of Horses had recently released their second studio album, "Cease to Begin," in 2007, which really solidified their presence in the indie rock scene. This live recording features the song "Older," a track that, while not on their earlier albums, showcased their evolving sound and emotional depth. The warmth and intimacy of the Tabernacle in Atlanta added a special element to the performance, drawing the audience into the moment as they rang in the New Year together. It's interesting to note that this band, originating from Seattle, had gained a loyal following thanks to their heartfelt lyrics and haunting melodies, making this live performance a celebration of their journey thus far. Amid the excitement of the room, you could genuinely feel a connection between the band and their audience, perfectly embodying why live music can be so electrifying.
