The Walkmen

In July 2010, when The Walkmen performed at Codfish Hollow Barn, they were riding high on the momentum of their fifth studio album, *Lisbon*, which had been released just a year earlier. This album, marked by a more polished sound and introspective lyrics, was a significant turn for the band, showcasing their ability to evolve while maintaining the heartfelt energy that fans cherished. Interestingly, this live recording was part of a distinctive series of shows which captured the band’s raw energy in intimate venues, a setting perfectly suited for their dynamic performance style. Notably, the choice of such a unique location—like the rustic charm of Codfish Hollow—added an extra layer of authenticity to their live shows and likely contributed to the deep connection between the band and their audience. The Walkmen’s ability to blend nostalgia with a contemporary twist made every performance a memorable experience, and this one was no exception.
