Music Update: Looking Back at Lord Huron

My one goal for 2013 is to see at least 42 musicians/bands play. As of today, I'm up to about 35 or 36.  Things are looking pretty good. It is only a great thing to exceed this goal.  Since I'm way behind in blogging these, I'll occasionally add a few highlights.

Lord Huron

SXSW//Austin, TX

March 13

That pedal board case is painted similar to their album cover.  Nice touch.

Two things about Lord Huron:

1.  Their most recent album is best listened as a whole.  This is counter the current trend in music which is to just buy songs that you like and not the whole album.  However, Lord Huron's songs blend into each other with a beautiful effect and I highly recommend buying the whole album, Lonesome Dreams.  It's one of my favorites.

2.  I cannot speak from experience, but I would imagine their best shows would be outdoors.  They have music that just makes you want to lay on a lakeshore and stare up at the stars.  This performance was excellent, but my dream is one day...outdoors. Dreamy and quiet and in nature.

They seem to all have beautiful souls, incredible talent, and the disposition where you want to go camping with them and play music around the campfire. 

One of my favorite Lord Huron songs.
