VickiKristinaBarcelona is Rachelle Garniez, Amanda Homi and Mamie Minch, a superpower trio of seasoned musicians and songwriters dedicated to redefining the songs of Tom Waits via gorgeous vocal harmonies and a treasure trove of instruments including various squeezeboxes, an array of exotic percussion and a couple of groovy vintage guitars. Together they create a world of sound at once powerful, playful and poignant.
VKB interprets the Tom Waits songbook with love, bringing a uniquely feminine perspective to the rough and rugged wreckage.
The mythic picaresque male archetypes - beat poets, railroad hobos, sloppy drunks, hard-boiled cynics and hopeless romantics, the starring roles in Waits’ story-songs - are transformed, their beauty and vulnerability revealed. Melodies burst forth and shine like polished gems.
