While I was looking forward to the entire Lollapalooza experience last weekend, The Low Anthem was the one band I was most interested in.  The Rhode Island trio didn’t disappoint and is certainly my favorite discovery of 2009.  I was lucky enough to get to the stage early and got to enjoy the show from the front row.

Like a lot of my favorite music, The Low Anthem features adept musicians with beautiful harmonies and intriguing lyrics.  For a taste of the concert, check out NPR’s recording of The Low Anthem’s recent performance at the Newort Folk Festival.

Here is a lovely version of their song, “To the Ghosts Who Write History Books.”  Enjoy.

On a slightly related note, Stan was kind enough to suggest a recap of Lollapalooza.  I’d like to get to that next Saturday.
