Okkervil River

Okkervil River was riding high on the waves of their career around the time of the live recording at the SXSW Paste Party on March 17, 2010. Just prior to this performance, they released the album *The Stage Names* in 2007, showcasing their signature blend of folk-rock and intricate storytelling. By 2010, they had also put out *I Am Very Far*, an album that exhibited a more expansive sound, reflecting a period of artistic evolution. The live performance is particularly noteworthy as it featured the legendary Roky Erickson, a pivotal figure in the Texas music scene and a major influence on the band's sound. Their collaboration that night not only highlighted Okkervil River’s knack for paying homage to musical icons but also underscored their deep roots within the vibrant Austin music community. It was a moment where both reverence and raw energy took center stage, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone present.
