The National made their first appearance in Denver in three years last night. The proud sons of Ohio saw their triumphant return bringing their near close to sell-out crowd to their knees by baritone vocalist Matt Berringer. The band is on tour supporting “High Violet” released earlier this year and a forerunner on many end of year lists as it is every year when there’s a National album release. For one night we were all reminded that we were “Mistaken for Strangers” between swigs of white wine by lead vocalist Berringer. Last night’s stop here in town was the last on the US tour. The guys will head out to the UK in Dencember and just in time for the holidays, the release of “High Violet” expanded edition will hit shelves Nov 22nd!
