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.
These 2 bands prove that a band doesn't need fancy light shows, make-up, or any kind of stage antics to make their fans fall forever in love with their sound. The music swoops in and takes the listener to clearer heights. These guys are entirely professional and heart-felt through and through. It's music that mezmorizes and leaves warmth in the heart.
Rocked out the whole time! You could go to this show without ever hearing them, and fall in love.
Band of Horse was a great show with great talent. My husband and I love this band and we loved the concert that they put on. They sound great live and have great energy! I would definitely tell others to see them and want to see them again. I hope they come back to Myrtle Beach!
Amazing. I would come back and see them more than once. Absolutely AAAAazzing!! Come BAck SOON!!
You couldn't have asked for a better night. BOH was enroute to an all acoustic show in New York the following night, so the crowd was lucky enough to hear a sampling of what was to come. They did not dissapoint. Not only did they slow things down, but they really let loose with some upbeat, twanged out truely folk/country reditions of some of their slower songs. This mixture of slow and barn stomping music isn't the only reason to get out and witness BOH. After every hit they played, they entroduced a new track, things that will carry this band to the future. If you are like me and really can't wait to see what's next from them, make sure you see them live. You will get a taste of what is next and man is it good!
The show was awesome. me and my boyfriend got there early and got wonderful spots to see the band. the band put on an amazing show. i was very surprised to see how many different instruments and how many people in general were in the band. i recommend the show to anyone who loves music. hands down it get 5 stars
The best concert I have ever been too. Vocals and music exactly like what you hear on their CD. Could not have been any more pleased with how awesome they are
Great band. Good for any listener, and a good intro to the Indie genre. OK venue, SRO with a second floor balcony. Not too crowded though!
they killed it, every single show they put on is unique. Kinda bummed they didnt play "Ends not near" cover....love that song. overall pretty damn good.
This was the first time I have seen these guys live and it was a great show overall! Ram's Head is a great venue and I plan to attend more concerts there in the future. As far as the show itself, I felt Band of Horses started out slow. They opened with a ballad and followed with "The First Song". They should have opened with that for sure. A couple more ballads were mixed in the next couple of songs. The second half of the show certainly did not disappoint.
This was a big disappointment. They were preparing for an accoustic show and practiced on us. The whole audience was clearly bored and very sad to not hear the songs they loved.
