American rock act Band of Horses brings their electrifying live show to the historic stage of the Kalamazoo State Theatre June 15, 2024.
About Band of Horses
There might be no other band that could channel the generational anxiety in those early millennial years and turn it into such powerful and inclusive art, quite like Band of Horses. Band of Horses fashioned gorgeously ragged epics, Ben Bridwell’s high-flying vocals and eccentric enunciation floating like a specter that felt like a prelude to a dream. Full of profundity, truth, and sometimes just homespun advice on how to live, Band of Horses songs have become anthems and touchstones for fans.
Emotionally intense, both on a personal and elemental level, the songs for Band of Horses’ sixth album, Things Are Great, find Bridwell more autobiographical than he’s ever been on record detailing the nebulous frustrations and quiet indignities of relationship changes and what a person will do to make things right—and what you do when you can’t.
Band of Horses comprises Bridwell, longtime members Ryan Monroe and Creighton Barrett and new members Matt Gentling (of Archers of Loaf) on bass, and guitarist Brett Nash. This fresh chapter finds the band recapturing the raw emotion and unpolished punk-rock spirit of its early days.
About Ally Evenson
Ally Evenson grew up in Fort Gratiot and started taking vocal lessons at age four and wrote songs with her father. By high school, she joined an experimental band, became a theater nerd and sought musical inspiration from Radiohead, St. Vincent, Joni Mitchell and Rufus Wainwright. In 2020, Ally released her debut EP ‘Not So Pretty’, a five-track tasters platter of her soft yet impactful vocals, impressive songwriting, and emotionally driven indie sound.
