Hamilton Leithauser Concert

Hamilton Leithauser returns to the stage with his unmistakable blend of elegant nostalgia and timeless rock. On 3 November, the former voice and soul of The Walkmen will perform at La Nau in Barcelona to present This Side of the Island, his third solo album, a work that has matured over eight years and confirms something we already sensed: Leithauser ages with style.

Although The Walkmen have returned and disappeared again as if switching a light on and off, Leithauser has never stopped composing. His voice remains that raw, romantic beacon which, without seeking the spotlight, fills everything. And his songs — co-produced on this occasion by Aaron Dessner (The National) — move with a sure step across territory where grown-up rock sounds alive, sincere and without a trace of cynicism.

This Side of the Island has an almost domestic warmth, a balance between the intimate and the expansive. It is the kind of album sung quietly but remembered aloud. Live, Leithauser promises a night without artifice, made up of songs that have learned to shine without needing lights. An unmissable date for those who know that maturity can sound wild too.
