Throwback Concert: Candlebox at The Webster 2012

By Drew Carrano

Some great bands emerged from Seattle’s grunge scene in the early to mid 1990s. Among those bands was Candlebox, who found immediate success with their self-titled debut album in 1993. Today we look back at an intimate show they did in Hartford in 2012.

Today’s Throwback Concert:

Candlebox

About The Tour: Candlebox hit the road in 2012 in support of its fifth studio album, Love Stories & Other Musings. The first leg of the 29-city tour started in Shreveport, LA in early April and played in mostly clubs along the east coast. The new album was released just a month before the Webster Theater show. Love Stories & Other Musings featured nine new tracks (five of which were played at the Webster Theater show) and five bonus tracks – including re-records of past hits “Far Behind,” “Cover Me,” and “Simple Lessons.”
