SUMMARY:Sgt. Splendor feat. Eric McFadden & Kate Vargas
DESCRIPTION: \nBefore joining forces\, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor were already formidable solo artists\, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at outlets like NPR\, HuffPost\, SPIN\, No Depression Rolling Stone and Vice (including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Christgau); and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints on guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars\, Anders Osbourne\, Fishbone’s Angelo Moore\, and Eric Burdon & The Animals\, plus a slew of solo albums\, and session work and gigs with everyone from Jackson Browne to The Clash’s Joe Strummer. \nSgt Splendor’s 2nd release\, “Death of the Hoochie Koo” dropped May 19th on Buena Vista West Records. “Tom Waits’ music has always been a point of connection for me & Kate. While our musical approaches differ\, they’re also kindred and share a lot of common elements. Our Southwestern upbringing comes through—that sort of mysteriouso desert thing—but also a carnivalesque Waits-ian vibe. The new record is a bit more cohesive but still eclectic. Kind of an Alt-Funk\, Desert Roots\, Dirty Blues\, Rock thing. Our styles have always been complementary.” Vargas concurs: “Sgt. Splendor really feels like a combination of both of us—equally.” \n“…In the ten new songs\, not only do the amazing vocals and skillful guitar playing of the two musicians complement each other very well\, but alt-funk\, desert rock and dirty blues also merge seamlessly. Groovy and brooding\, mysterious and memorable – this is hot music with cool cover art.” – Dennis / Add To Want-list 2023 \nin-depth\, heavy songwriting\, wrapped in a blanket of heavy Blues and Rock music that holds its own against anything you can throw at it. ” – Tone Scott / GOLDMINE Magazine 2024 \nDoors at 5:30pm…Show 7pm. Tickets are $30 in advance…$35 at the door (children 12 and under are free). Purchase tickets here. \n
