By the time Band of Horses was on stage, the Blue Note was a full house. Bryan Cates opened for the band and BOH lead vocal, Ben Bridwell, joined him for the last song before BOH performed. It was a very mellow (you could SMELL it), laid back atmosphere full of chillin’ music to match. The large backdrop screen provided images of nature — reminded me of Winter’s Bone — as well as a montage of BOH tour photos. BOH covered a lot of songs from Infinite Arms (I love this CD), including my favorites: Evening Kitchen and No One’s Gonna Love You. Thank you Matt and Ryan for the good company and evening.

It was hot and humid… by 1 a.m. Ryan and I caught up with one Horse, bass guitarist, Bill Reynolds. Bill was very nice and gregarious. I asked him why BOH didn't play their current song, Life on Earth. He said they recorded it in studio but have never played it live … and he would suggest it to his band. Band of Horses will be back in October.
