Some shows feel like a match made in heaven.
A reverent crowd sat in hushed admiration for the songs composed by Okkervil River founder and frontman Will Scheff, who praised The Hamilton Live for its feeling of openness and its listening room environment, during a recent stop on the band’s Rarities & Requests Tour.
Okkervil River hit the artsy upstate town on June 15th for the second to last date on their current tour after releasing their latest album, In the Rainbow Rain.
On June 7 Denver, CO’s Bluebird Theater was the scene of Okkervil River’s latest stop on a true international globe trotter of a tour that will take them across the pond soon, all in support of their new album In the Rainbow Rain.
With the weather warnings cutting into the stories I was listening to on Minnesota Public Radio, I was more than relieved when I got my car in the parking lot and found myself inside The Turf Club.
A refreshing break from this trend is Lincoln Center American Songbook where the storied musical institution brings more contemporary artists to its beautiful Appel Room (QRO venue review) in the Time Warner Building overlooking Columbus Circle.
