A musical duo from a past that never happened – Vagabondage will usher you into a realm of accordion, guitar, kazoo, hindsight prophecies, and phone calls from dead lovers on sultry nights. With flasks held high this duo of chronologically challenged musicians will sing you pirate shanties, murder ballads, carnivale vaudevillia, and your new favorite drinking songs.
Vagabondage has performed with the likes of Mark Growden, Humanwine, Donny Vomit of the Coney Island Sideshow, The Bad Mitten Orchestra, Victoria & the Vaudevillians, Amber Lee, Shovelman and more. Catch them in the Bay Area and on the West Coast at a rowdy cabaret near you!
