Vicky Cristina Barcelona Band

With the VKB Band, you can see what three multi-instrumentalists do with their great love for Tom Waits. The band name originated from the title of the Woody Allen film that revolves around the relationship of three women and one man. Here, in this exciting music project, it is just the same. Three women and the music of Tom Waits, a captivating theme that they have already presented on three smaller European tours. Above all, VKB wants to highlight the influence of co-writer Kathleen Brennan, Tom Waits' wife, in their interpretations. "Everything fits together," wrote a critic after the last tour. It is a multicultural adventure that is alternately beautiful, funny, disturbing, and moving. VKB Band consists of Rachelle Garniez, Amanda Homi, and Kirsten Thien, a power trio of acclaimed New York artists who have come together to reinterpret Tom Waits' songs. With their uplifting and inventive vocal harmonies and a treasure trove of instruments like banjos, bottles, squeezeboxes, and horns, they create a sound world that is simultaneously powerful, playful, and moving. Each of them is a mix of storyteller and multi-instrumentalist, practicing their craft with over 100 years of experience in show business. They meet at the intersection of tragedy and comedy to unearth the beautiful rough diamonds of Waits' songs and reveal new facets at every turn.
