Okkervil River

In August 2011, Okkervil River performed at La Route du Rock in Saint-Malo, France, showcasing a pivotal moment in their journey. This live performance came shortly after the release of their album "I Am Very Far," which had dropped in May of that same year, marking a new chapter in their sound. With this album, the band ventured into more expansive, experimental territory while retaining their signature storytelling style. Fun fact: the lead singer, Will Sheff, often draws from personal experiences and literature for inspiration, which you may notice in their poignant lyrics. The La Route du Rock performance highlights not only the band’s growth but also their ability to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level. If you listen closely, you might just catch the shimmering echoes of vulnerability and authenticity that have come to define their music.
