On February 6, 2024, music enthusiasts gathered at The Paramount in Huntington to witness the dynamic performance by Band of Horses. The venue, known for its historic charm, provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of captivating melodies.
Before the band took the stage the audience was shown the mood of the acoustic set, by the stage set up. With candles placed everywhere, the stage looked like you were in grandma’s house.
Ben Bridwell took the stage and let us know he was under the weather but was gonna give it his all. Solo he began the set and seemed that it was going to be a great show.
The rest of the band joined him for a fantastic set of acoustic songs. I highly recommend checking out their Acoustic at the Rhyman live album to check the vibe.
Band of Horses took a quick break, while the stage crew transformed the stage from grandma’s house to Rock stage.
The electric setlist showcased a thoughtfully curated mix of tracks from their extensive discography, including fan favorites and tracks from their latest album. From the haunting balladry of "The Funeral" to the anthemic exuberance of "Is There a Ghost," each song was delivered with an authenticity that resonated deeply with the crowd.
The Paramount's acoustics complemented the band's sound, allowing every guitar riff and drum beat to wash over the audience with clarity and depth. The lighting design enhanced the mood of each song, creating an immersive visual experience that further elevated the performance.
Throughout the evening, Band of Horses displayed a genuine connection with their audience, fostering an intimate rapport that transcended the typical concert experience. As the final notes of their encore faded into the air, the crowd erupted in applause, echoing the collective sentiment of a truly unforgettable night.
In conclusion, Band of Horses' performance at The Paramount was nothing short of extraordinary. Their ability to command the stage with emotive prowess and musical finesse solidified the concert as a standout event for both the band and their fans. The timeless allure of The Paramount coupled with the sonic prowess of Band of Horses made for an evening that will be etched in the memories of all who were in attendance.
