With the VKB Band, you can see what three multi-instrumentalists do with their great love for Tom Waits. The band's name was taken from the title of the Woody Allen movie about the relationship between three women and a man. It's the same here with this exciting music project. Three women and the music of Tom Waits, an appealing theme, which they have already been able to present on three smaller European tours. It is a multicultural adventure that is by turns beautiful, funny, disturbing and poignant.
VKB Band, that's Rachelle Garniez, Amanda Homi and Kirsten thien, a power trio of acclaimed New York artists who have come together to reinterpret the songs of Tom Waits. With their uplifting and inventive vocal harmonies and a treasure trove of instruments including banjos, bottles, squeezeboxes and horns, they create a soundscape that is at once powerful, playful and poignant.
Each of them is a blend of storyteller and multi-instrumentalist, practicing their respective crafts with over 100 years of show business experience. They meet at the crossroads of tragedy and comedy to unearth the beautiful diamonds in the rough of Waits' songs, revealing new facets at every turn.
