The Low Anthem has spent the better part of the days since the release of their Nonesuch debut, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, this spring, on the road, performing at clubs and concert halls across the United States and Europe. The trio—Ben Knox Miller, Jeff Prystowsky, and Jocie Adams—makes a quick stop at home tonight before heading west for the start of a month-long tour of the States with the band Blind Pilot. But being in their hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, doesn't mean the concert making stops. Rather, it's an opportunity to put on an all-the-more-special show at an unexpected venue: The Avon, a historic old movie house.

It's been a favorite spot for years for locals and students at nearby Brown University, the band's alma mater, to catch art-house films, but it's the first time a concert's been held there in more than ten years, Prystowsky tells the Brown Daily Herald.

Jeff spoke with Herald senior staff writer Ellen Cushing about tonight's gig and why it's so special for both the band and the venue. The theater's owners were wary at first about opening the house to a live band performance, but with a lot of hard work and what Prystowsky calls "a hometown effort," with many friends and area vendors chipping in, it should prove to be a welcome, if brief, homecoming.

The Providence Journal also spoke with Prystowsky about tonight's show and describes The Low Anthem as "one of the hits of the folk festival in Newport this summer." You can read that interview at projo.com.

During a recent stop in Chicago, The Low Anthem recorded a Live Session for the indie music blog HearYa, featuring performances of "Ticket Taker," "Charlie Darwin," "This God Damn House," and "Cigarettes and Whiskey." "Watching The Low Anthem perform in studio was like entering a transcendent reality," says HearYa writer Oz. From the first words of the band's vocal warm-up, he "knew immediately that this session would be special. And it was." See for yourself at hearya.com.
