Immediately launching into \u201cMargaret Sands,\u201d the feeling of peace in the room was tangible. Relaxing back into their chairs, audience members let Veirs\u2019s breathtaking vocals overcome them. Although a track off her latest album <em>The Lookout<\/em>, \u201cMargaret Sands\u201d has all those classical elements of mid-2000\u2019s Laura Veirs: soft instrumentals supporting beautifully descriptive and nature-filled lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>The audience was comprised of Veirs\u2019s own personal \u201centourage\u201d of family and friends who inhabit the DMV, as well as slew of fans who\u2019ve waited years and years to see her perform. And although her set-list did favor her newest album, Veirs made sure to incorporate classics such as \u201cI Can See Your Tracks\u201d and \u201cWide-Eyed, Legless,\u201d much to the delight of veteran fans. The former track was met with gasps when those iconic opening strums cued in Laura\u2019s ethereal vocals. Harmonizing with <strong>Alex Guy <\/strong>(viola), the pair projected as powerfully as an all-female version of <strong>Fleet Foxes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42522\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" title=\"Laura Veirs\" data-id=\"42522\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-156x120.jpg 156w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-64x49.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-220x169.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-130x100.jpg 130w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-351x270.jpg 351w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-325x250.jpg 325w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-208x160.jpg 208w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-350x269.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-488x375.jpg 488w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-606x466.jpg 606w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7916-729x560.jpg 729w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In order to avoid falling into \u201cauto-pilot,\u201d Veirs challenged her band members to take a risk during the performance. The band had wonderful banter as Guy joked that she\u2019d never before juggled on stage, while Veirs suggested that her risk could be sliding down the front table on her knees \u201cBruce Springsteen style.\u201d Although their risks may have been imperceptible to the audience, it is clear the band played with the utmost fervor and passion, challenging their skillset for each song, pushing themselves to be their best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite Cherry\u201d was signaled in by a jazzy and mystical swirl of instruments. Veirs dialed back her vocals on this track to allow the band to flourish and to showcase the immense power and talent of the composition. This track was louder and more urgent than her other songs that evening, making it a memorable performance. Even Veirs acknowledged the band\u2019s talent, commending them as she said, \u201cI just love watching them play that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42523\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"807\" title=\"The Hackles\" data-id=\"42523\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-150x118.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-768x605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-152x120.jpg 152w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-64x50.jpg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-220x173.jpg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-127x100.jpg 127w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-343x270.jpg 343w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-317x250.jpg 317w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-203x160.jpg 203w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-350x276.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-476x375.jpg 476w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-591x466.jpg 591w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/9O6A7471-711x560.jpg 711w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text thrv-inline-text\">The Hackles<\/p>\n<p>Veirs welcomed opening band <strong>The Hackles<\/strong> back onstage to perform \u201cJuly Flame,\u201d a song known for its choral verses and repeating chorus that asks, \u201cCan I call you mine?\u201d Comprised of <strong>Luke Ydstie <\/strong>and <strong>Kati Claborn<\/strong> the romantically inclined duo contributed their chilling harmonies to one of Veirs\u2019s most treasured tracks.

The duet was soulful and ripe with nostalgia, providing a completely one-of-a-kind experience.<\/p>\n<p>Veirs could sing the phonebook, or, like <strong>The Decemberists<\/strong>, about murder and revenge, and still make it sounds beautifully poetic. The ease with which she graces the stage can only come with years of experience and unending passion. Veirs\u2019s music is good for the soul and warms from within. Her crisp vocals and lingering melodies will stick with you even on the gloomiest of days. Veirs is impossibly good, and we are so grateful she stopped to play in DC.<\/p>\n<h4 data-css=\"tve-u-165ed768899\"><strong>Setlist<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 data-css=\"tve-u-165ed768899\"><strong>Setlist<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 data-css=\"tve-u-165ed768899\"><strong>Setlist<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"tve_not_editable tve_toggle\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"tve_editable\" data-css=\"tve-u-163a718eca2\">Click here to see the setlist for Laura Vier&#8217;s performance at Union Stage on May 27, 2018<\/h4>\n<p data-css=\"tve-u-163a718eca1\"><strong><u>Main Performance<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-css=\"tve-u-163a718eca0\">1.

As some dried out their wet clothing, others played music together with instruments they brought to the festival. As I dried out some wet jeans by the fireside I sat beside three musicians playing their instruments. After a few minutes of listening ,one individual stopped to tell me about his friend. He told me &#8220;You see what he is doing? He is playing his instrument upside down. He is not playing like Jimi Hendrix who played his right-handed guitar upside down and restrung his guitar chords to play it left-handed.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;This is very very unique and there are only a few people in the world who play acoustic songs like this. There was one woman who pioneered this type of playing but she died a few years ago, but he continues in her tradition.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The woman he spoke of was none other than <strong>Elizabeth \u201cLibba\u201d Cotten<\/strong>. Less than two weeks would pass before I watched Brenda Evans, the great-granddaughter of Cotten, perform at Union Station. Cotten was born in 1893 to a musical family and by age seven began her musical journey which lasted until her passing in 1987. It is truly wonderful to know that Cotten&#8217;s musical style and legacy is embraced, carried on, and continues to inspire musicians today.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b &nbsp;&#8211; Jason Herman<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tve_image_frame\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"tve_image wp-image-42532\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" title=\"Elizabeth &quot;Libba&quot; Cotten\" data-id=\"42532\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-1024x688.jpeg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; -webkit-user-select: none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-1024x688.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-150x101.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-300x202.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-768x516.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-179x120.jpeg 179w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-64x43.jpeg 64w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-220x148.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-149x100.jpeg 149w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-402x270.jpeg 402w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-372x250.jpeg 372w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-238x160.jpeg 238w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-350x235.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-558x375.jpeg 558w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-694x466.jpeg 694w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw-834x560.jpeg 834w, https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/1WXwG1-kuS1Zncm0-V4R1vw.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"thrv-inline-text wp-caption-text\">Elizabeth Cotten playing guitar in 1960.
