Band of Horses

In 2013, Band of Horses was riding a wave of success following the release of their album 'Mirage Rock' in 2012. This live performance of 'The First Song' at Jazz Fest truly captures their dynamic energy and the heartfelt connection they have with their audience. The band, known for their rich, atmospheric sound, blended Americana with indie rock, which resonates beautifully in a live setting. Interestingly, 'Mirage Rock' brought them into the spotlight, showcasing their evolution since debuting with 'Everything All the Time' several years earlier. This concert not only highlighted their growth but also marked a high point in their career, when they were establishing their identity in the music scene. It's fascinating to think about how live performances, like this one, really encapsulate the spirit of a band and their journey.
