Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Played the State Theater (Portland, Maine) - Photos / Pictures / Review - 6.9.2013

It had been a little over a year since the last time I saw Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and this time was equally as magical.  The evening started off with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros opening for themselves, playing a little acoustic set that featured covers “Get Back” (Beatles) and “All I Really Want To Do” (Bob Dylan).   The band then played a two hour set similar to this recent setlist, and played the song “Better Days” from their upcoming album.

The band is set to release their new self-titled record July 23rd, and are continuing to tour through the fall (dates).
