Okkervil River

In September 2007, when Okkervil River delivered their stunning live performance of "Lady Liberty" at Lee's Palace in Toronto, the band was riding high on the success of their album "The Stage Names." Released slightly earlier that year, in August 2007, this project marked a significant chapter in their career, showcasing their signature blend of indie rock and folk influences. Interestingly, "The Stage Names" delves into themes of ambition and identity, reflecting the band's own journey in a rapidly changing music landscape. It's worth noting how the energy radiating from this live performance captures the essence of their evolving sound, echoing a growing recognition in the indie scene. Okkervil River’s intense yet introspective approach during this period resonates deeply, making their live shows an authentic extension of their studio work.
