Okkervil River

On June 10, 2011, Okkervil River delivered an electrifying performance at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, showcasing their evolving artistry during a pivotal time in their career. Just prior to this live recording, they had released 'I Am Very Far,' the band's fifth studio album, only a month earlier. This album featured a more expansive sound and deeper lyricism, symbolizing a significant step in their creative journey. Fans were buzzing about the band’s continuous evolution, and this concert served as a snapshot of their energy and connection with the audience.
