Okkervil River

In September 2008, when Okkervil River delivered their captivating live performance of "Lost Coastlines" at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison, they were riding high on the success of their album *The Stage Names*, released just a year prior. This particular album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing rich storytelling and compelling melodies, which became their hallmark. Interestingly, *The Stage Names* was influenced by themes of identity and the show's dazzling yet sometimes overwhelming nature of fame, deeply resonating with the band's eclectic sound.
