The Vandoliers and The Right Now come to Galva

Galva’s Wiley Park will once again be filled with people, food, vendors and music on June 3rd. The event will begin with a Vendor Fair from 1-6. Crazy Pete’s Street Eatz will offer dinner from 4:30 – 6. 2 Dudes Popcorn will have a wonderfrul dessert option available before and during the concert. The Concert begins at 6 with The Vandoliers followed by The Right Now at 7. Rain location is in the Galva High School.

The Vandoliers play alt-country with punk roots. Vandoliers formed in 2015, bringing together a group of Dallas-Fort Worth musicians led by frontman Joshua Fleming. Fiercely proud of their homeland, Vandoliers put their own spin on the Texas country tradition with 2016’s Ameri-Kinda, a debut album that mixed honky-tonk twang with hard-edged, rock & roll stomp. The band’s follow-up release, The Native, arrives less than one year, doubling down on Vandoliers’ modern approach to traditional influences. Rounded out by bassist Mark Moncrieff, drummer Guyton Sanders, fiddler Travis Curry, electric guitarist Dustin Fleming, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Graves, the group fills The Native’s 10 songs with barreling guitar solos, train beats, anthemic melodies, mariachi horns, and the autobiographical details of Fleming’s own travels. http://vandoliers.com/

The Right Now’s pop-meets-soul sound is more than a vehicle for Stefanie Berecz’s captivating voice. The celebration of thoughtful, catchy songwriting and intricate arrangements evokes a subtle sophistication in the tradition of Quincy Jones’ 70s and 80s masterpieces. Since 2008 the band has toured much of the United States and released three acclaimed albums, racking up placements in television, national commercials, and the multi-million-selling video game Watch Dogs. https://www.therightnow.com/
