For those of you who were unfortunate to miss The National’s performance at Bourbon & Beyond on Sunday, the Cincinnati-bred band is bringing their special live experience straight to your home (or preferred music streaming service).
On Monday, the alt-rock band announced that they are set to release a new live album dubbed the “definitive live document of The National.” Out on Dec. 13, the live album, Rome, features 21 songs recorded during the band’s set at Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morrico in Rome on June 3.
