The Decemberists

In advance of the release of As It Ever Was, So It Shall Be Again in June, The Decemberists bring their Peaceable Kingdom tour to UPAC in Kingston. The band blends folk, rock, and storytelling into a distinctive musical tapestry. With Colin Meloy's vocals leading the charge, their songs often feature intricate instrumentals, including accordions, mandolins, and various string instruments. Lyrically, they delve into historical narratives, fantastical themes, and literary references, creating vivid and imaginative storytelling. Their music ranges from upbeat, foot-stomping anthems to melancholic ballads, evoking a sense of nostalgia and whimsy.
