WHO’S PLAYING?  Vandoliers (Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas)

WHAT TO EXPECT?  The cutting edge of country music, not the Thomas Rhett crap you hear on the radio but rather the true blood flowing through the veins of America. This band is traveling the country and sleeping on floors for a chance to play their honest, fiery music across The States. Their last show at Knucklehead’s in March was cut short due to singer Joshua Fleming’s illness; now a short couple months later they are back for redemption.

Vandoliers will be the headlining act on the small outdoor stage at the Riot Room in Kansas City. The newly signed Bloodshot Records band is taking their fresh and energetic take on Americana to the road. The six piece band has a tinge of a mariachi sound with their horns and upbeat, bouncy rhythms but don’t think they aren’t in it for keeps, the punk edge of the band has a way of coming out. Their new album “Forever” is a shining example of the group’s versatility. From the great, eye-catching album cover of the upside down railroad tracks to burning songs like “Cigarettes in the Rain” and the sing-along favorite “Sixteen Years” it’s clear Vandoliers are prepared to turn some heads.
