The Walkmen

In the summer of 2010, The Walkmen were riding high on the waves of their then-latest album, *Lisbon*, which had been released just a year prior, in 2009. This live recording from July 4th captures not just their raw energy, but also their evolving sound—a blend of indie rock that continues to resonate with fans old and new. Known for their electrifying performances, this particular show took place at the unique Codfish Hollow Barn, adding a rustic charm to the vibe. Interestingly, the song “In the New Year,” performed in that moment, reflects the band's signature lyrical introspection and has since become a fan favorite. It’s fascinating how the band's sound has matured over the years, yet they’ve maintained that unmistakable spark—like a fine wine, they’ve only gotten better with age. So, how fitting is it that a lively 4th of July show would encompass such a year for them? It feels like a celebration of their evolution and connection with the audience.
