In 2010, I had the pleasure of seeing Civil Twilight in concert on multiple occasions. The venues and crowds both varied in size, from a sold out show at the 9:30 Club in DC to an intimate club in Brooklyn on a snowy December night. Every single show has been nothing short of absolutely amazing; each experience has been unique and unforgettable. I've been to a lot of live performances and none of them have ever captured me the same way a genuine Civil Twilight always does. Besides the fact that they are ridiculously talented musicians, and besides the fact that each song is brilliantly crafted (both lyrically and musically), this is a band that also possesses intangible qualities that, once witnessed, will leave you with no doubts that they are on the path to greatness. I am eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this band, in 2011 and beyond.
If you love music and an honest performance, you owe it to yourself to see Civil Twilight in concert. Prepare to be moved by things seen and unseen.
Favorite Moment(s)
They range from the first time I had ever heard their cover of 'Teardrop' (I remember thinking, "these guys aren't just musicians - they're artists!") to the time they played "Stolen" for me. And how could I ever forget the time that Andrew gave me a set list or the time(s) Steven got down into the crowd? Seriously, I could go on for a while, there have been so many great moments!
