Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros concerts are aptly described as musical love-ins: rapturous, theatrical affairs where it can be difficult to discern between the musicians on stage (there are, give or take, 13 of them) and the fans in the crowd, all swaying and singing in a state of joyous euphoria. The band’s front man, Alex Ebert (formerly of the dance punk band, Ima Robot) is magnetic, madcap rock ‘n roll shaman leading his exuberant troupe through beatific, intricately embellished psych-folk anthems. The collective of musicians that form Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros came together in a remarkably organic way–everyone seemed to know one another or be separated by only a few degrees. That natural dynamic propelled them into recording the band’s breakout début Up From Below, released in 2010, for which the band received international praise.
