sounds continue to flow from Okkervil River

It all began in 1998 for the band Okkervil River.  This band from Austin Texas has created their musical art in such a way that it’s guaranteed to make an impact on their listeners.  Their 4th fourth full length studio album titled “The Stage Names” on the Jagjaguwar label has grabbed some well deserved attention.  Brilliant songwriting goes hand in hand with the band’s ability to perform with sincerity.  You can call Okkervil River an indie rock band, but over the years they have proven they are so much more than that.

Will Sheff takes care of the vocals and guitar, Brian Cassidy on guitar/mandolin/vox, Travis Nelsen on drums, Patrick Pestorius on bass, Seth Warren on various electronics, and Scott Brackett on trumpet and keys, Jonathan Meiburg on vox, keys, and accordian.  The band is currently on the road, so catch them somewhere if you can.
