So, more than 60" of snow has fallen here in Boston over the last couple of weeks, and more snow is forecast for Thursday, when The Lone Bellow will be performing at the Paradise. But we are holding out hope for light snowfall (which now to us means less than a foot) so we aren't too miserable while we wait outside for the doors to open. And I refuse to entertain the possibility of the show being canceled!

Other folks in Boston are also gearing up for the show. WBUR's The Artery has this piece about the band -
The Lone Bellow—Country-Rock At The Line Between Melancholy And Transcendence. About "Then Came the Morning," Amelia Mason write, "
The song is a perpetually ascending ballad in triple time, buoyed by strings and a horn section and Williams’ anguished, full-throttle belt. It is the sort of piece that requires a large band to really do it justice. As well-acquainted as The Lone Bellow are with lyrical intimacy and textural restraint, their priority is to move you. It is a relief to relax and let them spirit you away."

The Allston Pudding talked to Kanene about the band's 2013 performance at the Paradise.

There were a few moments from The Lone Bellow’s last show at the Paradise that are worth getting nostalgic for. The singalong in which Zach Williams, vocalist and guitarist, split open his head in the crowd with his acoustic guitar. The stirring performance of “Watch Over Us,” a track from their new record, Then Came The Morning, which was released last month. Oh, and a cover medley that included “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” and — wait for it — Lion King theme song “Circle Of Life,” fronted by Kanene Pipkin, mandolinist and vocalist.

“If you had told me I would be singing ‘Circle of Life’ at a show, I would politely smile and tell you you’re insane,” Pipkin said in an email. “But, I guess we’re actually the insane ones, so I’d tell anyone planning on coming to shows in the future to brace themselves, and please don’t yell out anything too ridiculous because sometimes we just can’t help it.”
Remembering that show has us feeling so excited, and no amount of snow will keep us away!

    Who We Are

    We are Abra and Bobbie, two friends living in Boston who go to a lot of concerts together. We saw The Lone Bellow, having never heard of them, and could not believe our good fortune in discovering such talent. We now try to go by the "Four-Hour-Rule", meaning if we can get to a show within four hours, we will be there, hopefully right up front.
