Black Sheep Boy - The Anniversary Concerts (a la carte)

$10.00
Black Sheep Boy - The Anniversary Concerts (MP3).zip

In 2015, in celebration of Black Sheep Boy’s 10th Anniversary, the band played a string of sold-out shows at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom, performing the album (along with its follow-up EP Black Sheep Boy Appendix) in full and in order. This lush, detailed recording showcases a band made up of old members like Jonathan Meiburg and Patrick Pestorius along with new members like Will Graefe, meticulously re-creating and reimagining Black Sheep Boy with the help of simultaneous cassette samplers and skronking guitar solos, electric violin and trombone, mandolin (learned by Will Graefe for the occasion), pocket trumpet and rich layers of keys. These shows also marked a stylistic turning point for the band, a bridge between two great lineups. One of the concerts was visually documented by frequent collaborator Julie Ruíz of A Horse With No Name, and extensive liner notes intersperse a gallery of her photographs with a wide-ranging conversation between Will and Jonathan.
