The Lone Bellow What A Time To Be Alive Tour at Eddie's Attic
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK:
Thurs., August 6
The Lone Bellow, Walker Burroughs, Eddie's Attic - This roots rock trio seemed to be on an upswing in the Americana genre, even headlining Center Stage pre-pandemic. They have downshifted lately to play multiple days at this far less expansive venue, which takes the grander production of their recent What a Time to Be Alive and strips it back for a more intimate presentation. Still, older tunes such as "Count on Me" (their most streamed track) and the roaring, gospel-inflected "Then Came the Morning" should rattle Eddie's walls as frontman Zach Williams lets loose with his, well, lone bellow on this, the second of a two-night stand in Decatur. - Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
The Lone Bellow live at Eddie's Attic!
With their upcoming sixth studio album What A Time To Be Alive, The Lone Bellow embarks on a bold new chapter while honoring the deep bonds that have defined their journey. Written collaboratively for the first time with their full touring band — founding members Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist, and Kanene Pipkin joined by drummer Julian Dorio and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Geertsma — the album channels the raw, ecstatic energy of the band's live show into a dynamic collection of songs that pulse with warmth, honesty, and human connection.
Recorded live in Muscle Shoals, AL, after a writing retreat in a converted Kentucky firehouse, the album is both a celebration and a reckoning: of friendship, loss, love, and resilience. From the gritty, Stones-tinged opener "After The Rain" to the soul-stirring closer "What A Time To Be Alive," the record captures the joy and vulnerability that have long defined The Lone Bellow's sound — lush harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and genre-blurring arrangements steeped in folk, rock, and gospel.
The album's creation was marked by setbacks, including the theft of early recordings, but the outpouring of support from their fanbase reaffirmed what the band has always known: their music is a shared experience. That spirit echoes throughout the album, whether in anthems like "Common Folk" and "I'm Here For You," or in intimate reflections like "You Were Leaving" and "Night Goes Black."
Since their acclaimed 2013 debut, The Lone Bellow has appeared on The Tonight Show, Austin City Limits, and The Late Show, topped Americana charts, and headlined storied venues from Carnegie Hall to the Ryman Auditorium. But with their next album, they reaffirm their commitment not just to making music, but to building community — on stage, in song, and around the table.
