Art Vandalay w. Leslie Rich & the Rocket Soul Choir
Art Vandalay blends the vintage sounds of The Band and the easy-going vibe of J.J. Cale, creating laid-back Americana music with songs that are “impossibly catchy” (Duluth News Tribune). Last year’s One Night at the Aster is a testament to their “fresh, fluid roots-rock sound,” (Adventures in Americana) timeless songwriting, and relentless performing for more than a decade. www.artvandalaytunes.com Leslie Rich & the Rocket Soul Choir https://www.leslierichmusic.com/
The Flying T w. The Owl-Eyes
The Flying T is Tony Mills, the weird kid with the tall tales, who played as a one-man-band at his high school talent show (guitar, harmonica, bass drum, hi-hat). After growing up overseas, he was a character in the New Wave music scene in Tulsa, OK in the mid 80s. He was also a programmer at the first commercial alternative music radio station in Oklahoma. The recent gift of an accordion and the revelations of a capo, have led to a renaissance of creative longing to make new music and perform live again. He has been writing all new modern music, but also has a special place in his heart for folk/country songs, and anything old-timey. He enjoys making videos doing rope tricks with with his fearless cats, and occasionally lighting himself on fire while riding a unicycle. The current band lineup includes bassist Tom Pieper and fiddler Tony Smith. Tony Mills – guitar, vocals, accordion, ropes Tom Pieper – bass Tony Smith – fiddle Neal Doss – Mandolin
