The opening band, Bully, is a four-piece LA based indie folk outfit cut from the same cloth as Lord Huron – big sound, bit of country twang and loads of guitar. They played a strong set that built nicely on the foundation laid by the more melodic and emotional Lord Huron.
Michigan-born Ben Schneider’s Los Angeles-based indie folk project Lord Huron emerged during the 2010s indie folk boom and captivated new audiences after its lush second album Strange Trails was featured on 13 Reasons Why. Their achingly bittersweet indie folk evokes wide-open vistas and the spirit of travel, and the group’s elegant, atmospheric music is equally at home alongside alt-J on the radio or at a festival like Bonnaroo.
Yet unlike many of their elder rock-folk contemporaries, Lord Huron’s collegiate folk harmonies and rustic instrumental arrangements feel fresh and contemporary. On “Time to Run,” for example, sparse vocal reverb floats over a trotting rhythm strum and jangled, bright guitar.

In just three albums Lord Huron have carved out their own brand of atmospheric grove-rock. While their debut, 2012’s Lonesome Dreams, and 2015’s Strange Trails centered around a theme of western adventures, last year’s Vide Noir takes the band in a different direction.
While the record’s sombre and melancholic songs have an overriding sense of existentialism they also evoke a giddy whimsy. From the moment the opening twinkles of “Fool for Love” rang out at the Greek Theatre a crowd of all ages danced the night away.
It isn’t hard to understand why. Schneider’s velvet-throated croons transport listeners into his imagined worlds. He spins stories that range from a cowboy journey across the plains to a leather-jacketed greaser gang. Then he enchants with his musical landscapes, from the grumbling guitar that creates an unequivocal rock and roll energy to a theremin—an instrument that casts a mystical sound—on “Never Ever.” He even uses a Farfisa organ on Vide Noir’s acoustic ballad, “She Lit a Fire”. It’s all part of the band’s magic.
