Band of Horses Coming Back to Town
The last time that mellow indie-folk rockers Band of Horses were in town, was in January of 2008, when they played a sold-out show at Newport’s Historic Southgate House. This performance came just months after the release of their highly, critically-acclaimed second full-length release, Cease to Begin, which debuted at #35 on the Billboard charts …

My Saturday at Bonnaroo 2010
