Join us on Thursday, February 12, at 4:00 PM to celebrate the release of the Lone Bellow’s new album What a Time to Be Alive. Their sixth studio effort, “What a Time to Be Alive is more than just a self-portrait; it’s also the start of a whole new journey. With founding trio Williams, Brian Elmquist, and Kanene Pipkin along with drummer Julian Dorio and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Geertsma, the songs are earnest and poignant, full of ruminations of innocence, loss, and the mysteries of love, and the performances are rapturous to match, balancing raw, rock and roll swagger with tender, folk sincerity. While much is familiar — the band’s trademark lush harmonies and infectious hooks haven’t gone anywhere — it’s impossible not to sense the new horizons at play, to feel the palpable chemistry fueling these blissful, freewheeling celebrations of the human spirit in all its mixed-up, bittersweet beauty.”
“Recorded live in Muscle Shoals, AL, after a writing retreat in a converted Kentucky firehouse, the album is both a celebration and a reckoning: of friendship, loss, love, and resilience. From the gritty, Stones-tinged opener “After The Rain” to the soul-stirring closer “What a Time to Be Alive,” the record captures the joy and vulnerability that have long defined The Lone Bellow’s sound—lush harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and genre-blurring arrangements steeped in folk, rock, and gospel.”
The band will perform songs from and sign copies of the album for all attendees. To reserve your place among them, pre-order the vinyl or CD in the shop or on the web.
