Vacationer

VACATIONER IN CONCERT:Pop innovators Vacationer have been sweeping audiences away with their good vibes and breezy, tropical grooves. Critics have suggested "nu-hula" and "world wave" as fitting genres for the band's refreshing sound, but neither label quite does justice to their eclectic, endlessly creative blend of African-inspired vocals, vintage samples, sun-soaked guitars, and sparkling vibraphone riffs. Regardless of what you call them, Vacationer puts on an incredibly engaging live show -- fans lucky enough to catch them on tour will find themselves transported to an island paradise as the band cruises their way through relaxed jams like "Gone" and "The Wild Life". BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:In 2010 Philadelphia-based musician Kenny Vasoli was inspired to start a music project after seeing LCD Soundsystem perform at Bonnaroo.

I heard vacationer for the first time because of a promo on Spotify, and could not resist the opportunity to see them live when they came to Philadelphia's Underground Arts. A small venue with a nice bar, tiny open stage, roughly 150 people at the most, and one of the best shows I have ever been to. I cannot wait to see them again @TLA !

I've seen Vacationer about 4 times and every time I just have such a good time. They're all about spreading good vibes and I back that 100%. Not to mention the fact that they're tight as hell and put on such a fun show. My girlfriend and I talked to Kenny after the show and he's a very nice, chill guy. I always recommend Vacationer to anyone looking for new music.

I have only recently discovered Vacationer thru Pandora, but loved TRIP. I convinced my son to see them with me, based solely on my limited exposure (plus the fact that I was paying for tickets and dinner). The band did not fail to impress. Their enthusiasm was infectious for the small crowd at this intimate venue. I am looking forward to listening to their whole portfolio.

Excellent band at a great venue. The Sinclair is a really nice size with lots of standing room with views of the stage. The lead singer is such an entertainer and had great banter with the crowd. Highly recommended seeing this chill band!
