Photos: Rostam at The Dionysus Disco
Seeing Rostam last night with my cousin was so much fun! He performed a bunch of tracks from his latest album Half-Light, as well as a Discovery track from 2009 and “Young Lion” from Vampire Weekend’s most recent album. There was also a Nick Drake cover and a new song during an encore after the show.
Rostam is a stunning artist to see live, and he was accompanied by a beautiful string quartet and percussionist. The nuances and musical details really came forward during his set, and I loved how Rostam tweaked some of the songs for his live audience (such as performing live guitar on “Wood”).
Overall, it was a very special night and reminded me why I love music so much—as a means to connect and bring people together in a lovely, unforgettable way.
