They blew into town…like the reigning kings of the “it” music genre…the “Monsters of Folk” as they have branded themselves – Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis… They filled the Paramount Theatre, October 15th with their unique and powerfully heart felt musical stylings, illustrated by the vibrant colors you see here…it was […]
