The Hold Steady

On March 4, 2021, The Hold Steady held a release party for their album "Open Door Policy" at the iconic Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, New York. This marked a significant return for the band, as it was their first album since 2019's "Thrashing Thru the Passion." What’s intriguing is that these live performances often serve as a celebration of not just the new music, but also the band's deep connection with their audience—something they’ve cultivated over the years through engaging storytelling in their lyrics. This show was particularly special as it served as a revival of live music post-lockdowns, making it not just a concert, but a beacon of hope for fans eager to reconnect with live art. The band's commitment to their craft, combined with the infectious energy of their live performances, continues to resonate with long-time listeners and new fans alike, creating a shared experience that’s hard to replicate.
