The Vandoliers


Levitt Pavilion Arlington

Honky-tonk twang with rock-and-roll stomp

An alt-country band with punk roots, The Vandoliers formed in 2015, bringing together a group of Dallas/Fort Worth musicians led by frontman, Joshua Fleming. Fiercely proud of their homeland, the Vandoliers put their own spin on the Texas country tradition with 2016’s Ameri-Kinda, a debut album that mixed honky-tonk twang with hard-edged, rock-n-roll stomp. The band’s follow-up release, The Native, arrived less than one year, doubling down on The Vandoliers’ modern approach to traditional influences with barreling guitar solos, train beats, anthemic melodies, mariachi horns and the autobiographical details of Joshua’s own travels. The band’s music is a sign of where they’re going. It’s twang and tattoos, grit and guitars, honky-tonk and horns, Tejano and Telecasters. It’s The Vandoliers.
