Thursday July 18, 2019 Vinyl Vagabonds The Vinyl Vagabonds are an upbeat R&B, Funk, Soul, and Roots Rock band based in Ames, Iowa. Their zeal for these genres of music is evidenced by the abundance of spirit on-stage. Vinyl Vagabond's ace-in-the-hole is singer Mook Bascomb. Mook's classic alto voice delivers both lead and harmony backing vocals with authenticity and joy. Co-lead singer Jeff Hart’s love of music and energy flows into his vocal and harmonica performance. Guitarist Kent Johnson not only drives the band with his funk-oriented rhythms and stark Blues-Rock leads, his is the crucial third voice in the three-part vocal harmonies that accentuate much of V.V.’s song list. The groovy rhythm section is composed of bassist Sean Ryan and drummer Todd Cumming, who keep it rocking steady for all the high steppers and hip shakers that can’t help but get out on the dance floor. |
