Summer concert season rarely brings a double-header as powerful as The National and Courtney Barnett through town, but White River State Park hosted just such an evening. The National played a set list of old favorites and picks from their latest album, I Am Easy To Find, full of dry wit and everyman ethos. Courtney Barnett opened the evening brimming with energy, each song building guitars and drums and shouts like a tornado about to touch down. She played her newest single, Everybody Here Hates You, as well as a mix of her previous releases. If you can see them together later on this summer, don’t miss out on that opportunity.
