Okkervil River

In June 2011, Okkervil River performed at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, bringing their emotionally rich sound to the Trocadero Theatre. Leading up to this live recording, the band had just released their album 'I Am Very Far' earlier that same year. This album marked a significant evolution for the band, featuring a darker, more introspective tone compared to their past works. An interesting tidbit: the performance of 'The Valley' showcased the band's dynamic stage presence, and it was interesting to see how the live rendition added depth to the studio version. This concert took place during a pivotal moment in Okkervil River's career, as they were gaining increasing recognition for their intricate storytelling and musical arrangements.
