SUMMARY:Sgt. Splendor feat. Kate Vargas & Eric McFadden with special guests
LOCATION:The Mint
DESCRIPTION:Sgt. Splendor feat. Eric McFadden & Kate Vargas w/ Norwood Fish
 er (Fishbone) and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction) plus other special 
 guests!\n\nSgt. Splendor Acoustic Duo strips down the high-voltage\, carni
 valesque alt-rock of their full-band format to reveal a raw\, spellbinding
  masterclass in roots-noir and desert blues. Comprising acclaimed singer-s
 ongwriter Kate Vargas and guitar virtuoso Eric McFadden (George Clinton\, 
 Eric Burdon)\, the duo trades massive electric stacks for a gritty\, intim
 ate acoustic chemistry.\n\nVargas’s haunting\, Tom Waits-esque narrative
  swagger pairs perfectly with McFadden’s mesmerizing\, Spanish-influence
 d fretboard pyrotechnics. Together\, they reimagine tracks from their crit
 ically acclaimed albums like Death Of The Hoochie Koo and Isotopia as haun
 ting\, stomp-and-holler fireside tales. It is a striking blend of swampy A
 mericana\, Junkyard folk\, desert blues\, and world-class showmanship that
  proves great songwriting needs nothing more than a voice\, a guitar\, and
  a mutual spark. www.sgtsplendor.com\n\n**Sgt Splendor feat. Kate Vargas a
 nd Eric McFadden** Before joining forces\, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor we
 re already formidable solo artists\, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at ou
 tlets like NPR\, HuffPost\, American Songwriter\, Rolling Stone and Vice (
 including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Chris
 tgau)\; and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints o
 n guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars\, Anders Osbourne\, Ka
 rl Denson\, Stockholm Syndrome\, and Eric Burdon & The Animals\, plus a sl
 ew of solo albums\, and session work with everyone from Jackson Browne to 
 The Clash’s Joe Strummer. "One of the most unique bands to come out of t
 he new millennium is the contrasting duo of Sgt. Splendor. The group consi
 sts of singer/songwriter/guitarist/flautist Kate Vargas\, and her partner 
 in crime\, guitarist/vocalist Eric McFadden (George Clinton & P-Funk\, Eri
 c Burdon\, Les Claypool\, etc)...is this an album for the masses?... yes. 
 Yet it is even more so an album for the music aficionados who understand a
 nd appreciate in-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\n\n**Eric Mc Fadden |** Haili
 ng from the crossroads of the Southwest and the heart of New Mexico\, Eric
  McFadden has crafted a rare and enticing brand of high desert blues and g
 ritty\, flamenco-infused rock that leaves listeners spellbound. McFadden
 ’s sound has not only charmed audiences all over the world\, countless m
 usicians have been taken by his inimitable playing and musicianship\, with
  McFadden receiving invitations to tour with the likes of funk legend Geor
 ge Clinton\, The Animals’ Eric Burdon\, and New Orleans sweethearts Ande
 rs Osborne and Tab Benoit. Right from the moment Joe Strummer spotted him 
 in San Francisco\, nicknamed him ‘Lightning\,’ and gave him a gig open
 ing for Strummer & The Mescaleros\, Eric McFadden has claimed his place am
 ongst the greats.\n\nDrawing from his multifarious musical experiences and
  influences\, Eric McFadden has developed his own unique and meaningful vo
 ice as a songwriter and 2021 will be hearing much more of that voice. Honi
 ng in on a sound that’s a rousing mix of Jack White\, Django Reinhardt\,
  and Jimi Hendrix\, we can expect to witness McFadden as we never have bef
 ore - as a wild talent harnessing his power\, as a man settling into his s
 kin. This is the year for Eric McFadden and every music lover should be wa
 tching out and taking notes.\n\nwww.ericmcfadden.com\n\nhttps://www.instag
 ram.com/eric_mcfadden/\n\n**Kate Vargas|** A reformed wild child\, in rece
 nt years Kate Vargas has traded the party for meditation\, yoga\, clean ea
 ting and a renewed focus on what she values most—her music. The New Mexi
 co-raised\, NYC-based artist is building ever more mindfully on her sound
 \, and the music press is taking notice\, Vargas receiving praise from a v
 ariety of respected outlets including Billboard\, NPR\, Noisey\, and the H
 uffington Post\, the latter assessing\, “There is an unlimited amount of
  potential in this superstar on the rise.”\n\nVargas has packed houses f
 rom Ireland’s Westport Folk and Bluegrass Festival to The Troubadour in 
 London\, The Mansion on O Street in Washington D.C. to New York’s Bowery
  Electric. Featuring her singular folk-style storytelling\, Vargas’ song
 s are grounded in a darkly melodic\, reverb-washed sonic palette of dream-
 pop\, dusty folk and junkyard blues\, all carried by rough-hewn vocals and
  guitar playing. In equal measure\, she channels a surprising array of art
 ists\, from Tom Waits\, Fiona Apple\, and 16 Horsepower to Lana Del Rey an
 d K. Flay.\n\nwww.katevargas.com\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/katevargasmu
