Going to an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros show is like going to a family reunion.  Except instead of too many unknown cousins and terrible potato salad, there are only talented musicians and indie folk rock.

The band does not merely play a set. They have a jam session and invite the audience to be a part of it.

There is actually no one by the name of Edward Sharpe in the band, however. Eccentric frontman Alex Ebert is often mistaken for the mythical person.  The identity of Edward Sharpe is actually a character from a book Ebert began writing several years ago.

Regardless of their mysterious name, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros played the Orange Stage of Fun Fun Fun Fest Sunday night and took the audience back to a simpler time where music was collaborative, musicians were just people and songs were for singing along.

The band in and of itself is massive.  They have 10 full-time members and often feature special guests during shows.

Their set was messy, beautiful, collaborative and sincere.  They closed out Fun Fun Fun embodying spirit of the indie music festival—people who love music performing for people who love music.
