The Civil Wars are an up-and-coming indie-folk band that is quickly gaining national recognition. Just yesterday they announced that they’ll be joining Adele again this fall on her sold-out UK tour. They’re also one of VH1’s You Oughta Know bands and their song “Poison and Wine” was the final group dance on So You Think You Can Dance last week.
The Civil Wars are performing in New Orleans this Friday, July 8 at 10pm EST but you don’t have to be in the Big Easy to get a glimpse of this particular concert as it will be livestreamed on Liveset.com, a site that streams live concerts in beautifully-shot HD.
Liveset recently filmed them while they covered Elliot Smith’s classic “Between the Bars”: http://vimeo.com/25850462 . It’s a beautiful short video that captures their magical musical style so well. I want to let people know that for the cost of a latte you can view this incredible new talent in a really cool new form of music streaming.
