Grizzly Bear

On August 7, 2008, Grizzly Bear captured hearts at the Calvin Theatre with their live rendition of "Knife." At this point in their career, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album, 'Yellow House,' in 2006, which set the stage for their unique blend of folk and electronic sounds. The band's intricate harmonies and layered instrumentation were really starting to shine through by this live performance. Interestingly, 'Knife' later became known as one of their signature songs, showcasing that evocative mix of dreamy melodies and emotional depth that has become their trademark. This performance not only solidified their growing reputation but also reflected their evolution as artists, hinting at the experimentation that would come in their future works. It’s this kind of live energy that makes Grizzly Bear such a captivating presence in the indie music scene.
