The city of Philadelphia continues to ooze love for its native Kurt Vile. After naming August 28 Kurt Vile Day, the city presented him with the Liberty Bell Award, the "highest honor" Philadelphia offers. Vile was presented with the award by City Hall Presents before he gave a performance of "Wakin on a Pretty Day"-- watch the ceremony and performance, below.
"There are lots of artist who call Philadelphia home, but few have ever let it become part of their work the way that Kurt has," the presenter explained. "We're so greatful when an artist who gets their roots here chooses to stay here, even as they become more successful as an artist."
