With a delicate country twang that plays perfectly with the indie rock sound, Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses will murmur his emotionally complex songs to intimate rooms of thousands when the band begins its "Acoustic At The Ryman" Tour in early 2014. The group, originally called Horses, is known best for its melancholy lullaby-like “No One’s Gonna Love You” and the more anthemic “Is There a Ghost,” though they have several songs pulled from their four albums—"Everything All the Time," "Cease to Begin," "Infinite Arms" and "Mirage Rock"—that have enjoyed critical and popular acclaim. With the latest tour comes an accompanying release, "Acoustic At The Ryman," which pares down the sound even further.
Co-founded by former Seattleites Bridwell and then bandmate Mat Brooke in 2004, the Band of Horses collective has seen several lineup changes, with the current group including Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Ryan Monroe, Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds. In an unusually democratic move, they collaborate together on song lyrics, instrumentation and show experience to create a lush, confessional sound for each concert and a unique feel for every album. Tickets are on sale now for the February shows. As fans scoop up seats on the West Coast, they are also no doubt replaying the beloved tunes from their significantly more upbeat 2012 album release, "Mirage Rock," which features the songs “Slow Cruel Hands of Time” and “Knock Knock” and isn’t a particularly easy album to play on the road. Bridwell jocularly laments his lack of musician prowess, but it’s clear from his latest works that practice is paying off, and his fans can look forward to many more years of his sweet, sentimental and lyrically complex melodies.
Band of Horses is one of my absolute favorite bands. Every time they are in NC I go to every venue they are performing at to see them. There music just speaks to me and I leave every show wanting more. I can’t wait for them to return.
I can’t lie, this was the worst concert I’ve been to. I left with my whole group about halfway through, the crowd was off, talking loudly and standing still and or doing way to much.. the music was extremely loud for a concert to the point where all you can hear is that loud pitchy noise and all the songs sounded the same due to how they performed them. Overall.. I’m sure it could be worse. But it wasn’t good. Bella white was amazing though, would’ve paid just to see her.
Best show I’ve seen in years!!!!!! Better in show than the album. Im amazed😍 Will never miss a local show again❤️🔥
First time at the Salt Shed and it is an incredible venue. I've loved band of horses for years and was so excited to see them. The show was good but not great. Feels like they would have been better suited for a smaller venue and got lost in the size of this venue.
I saw Band of Horses in 2010 and again in 2023. They still rock and I appreciate that they played more from the first 3 albums and less from the most recent 3. The Salt Shed continues to be one of my favorite venues. Great show all around.
This was my first time attending a show at The Salt Shed and not the last!I loved the venue so much!The show was fantastic.All three bands rocked!
The House of Blues is such a great venue to see shows. The Band of Horses delivered a fantastic show. They performed their music with passion and talent that did not disappoint.
Band of Horses are a highly underrated band. I knew of their songs through listening to Pandora. A friend recommended seeing them live, I was not disappointed. This band named through nearly two hours of play, cracked jokes, and barely took breaks in between each song. Bella White the opener was also unexpectedly wonderful and warm to the audience.
Bella White was wonderful and Band of Horses put on an amazing show. 10/10
Band of horses put on a great show. They really were great live and the sound in the venue was excellent
The Revolution in the Arts District of Ft. Lauderdale is definitely a place to witness greatness as the claustrophobic venue with plenty of bars to get your game face on, is intimate enough with better than average sound. Band of Horses delivered a solid 2 hour and change performance that rocked the place with a set that included the known songs, the in-betweens and a few covers. The band clearly has been on the road a bit as they delivered tight versions of their excellent songs. Interesting fence surrounds the stage on the second floor which reminded me of the movie "Roadhouse"but allowed fans to see the band closer and from behind the stage getting a look at the audience singing along.
Great band!!!! Much better than I expected. Eant to see them live again asap
I had an amazing time and they sounded even better in person. <3 Loved the venue too.
Best Band of Horses concert ever!! They continue to transform and create amazing music!!!!
Loved the show and music put on by Band of Horses. Great band playing some great songs. Avondale is an awesome spot to catch a show/concert and we were very pleased with the sound and viewing options. Highly recommend both BOH and Avondale!
Band of Horses never disappoints. They are consistently awesome. I've been lucky enough to see them five or six times as an opener and the main band. It's always a great time.
I've never experienced a band just as happy to be on stage as the audience was to see them. Ben was so humble and thankful for the audience to come out for them. They blew it out of the water! The The venue, Avondale Brewery, was perfect, especially with A+ seating. We drove 5 hours to see them and hands down the best concert so far this year for us.
These guys touch my soul. There music was phenomenal. Acoustics were great. The live versions of my favorite songs were identical to the recordings. True professionals. Their music resonates with my soul! They are legends. I can’t wait for them to return to Birmingham!
They sounded fantastic! Great show and cool venue!
The opener Griffin William Sherry was great (although not mentioned in the concert info I got), and volume was reasonable. However, when BOH came on the volume was turned way up, so ridiculous you could hear that grating interference noise. Ruined the concert for us. Also, didn’t appreciate waiting a while 20-30 min?) for BOH to take the stage once the opener was done.
