Band of Horses

In April 2013, when Band of Horses performed 'The General Specific' at Jazz Fest, they were riding high after the release of their fourth studio album, 'Mirage Rock,' which came out in September 2012. This album showcased their signature blend of indie rock and folk-influenced sounds, earning them critical acclaim and solidifying their place in the alt-rock scene. The band, originally from Seattle, has always been known for their heartfelt songwriting and rich harmonies, and the live recording encapsulates this perfectly. Interestingly, 'Mirage Rock' featured contributions from producer Glyn Johns, a notable name who has worked with legends like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, adding a touch of classic rock magic to their contemporary vibe. This performance at Jazz Fest, amidst an energetic crowd, highlights their evolution as a band and their ability to connect intimately with fans.
