Artist description Vaudeville is a gathering of 5-12 friends who get together once a year to jam.Each person brings their own set of ideas and influences to the party.The underlying idea is that each song is a journey; an exploration into the players' unconsciousness.The recording, while digitally captured is intentionally garagey.There is a lot of homemade and random percussion. The songs are not rehearsed. Ideas flow freely, and anyone may take the lead.Changes are intuitive and unspoken.

Music Style improvisational groove rock jam

Musical Influences too many to list

Similar Artists tortise, palace brothers, the band, santana

Artist History Vaudeville started in about 1988, as a way to alleviate the boredom associated with late nights in a small town.In it's 11 year history, members have come and gone, but the idea continues.Over time, the players have matured, and the sound has become more focused.Vaudeville '98 is the clearest it has ever been.
