About The Vandoliers, The Van Sanchez, Tahoma


Following a handful of releases with his loud and dirty rock trio The Phuss – including 2014’s "On the Prowl" – Joshua Fleming took something of a detour with his next project. On New Year’s Day Fleming resolved to spend 2015 making a country record.
Not one to throw around terms like supergroup, the ragtag bunch of rockers and longtime country vets – John Pedigo (The O’s), Jack Russell (Whiskey Folk Ramblers), Cory Graves (Whiskey Folk Ramblers),
Dustin Fleming (Vinyl), Guyton Sanders (The Happy Bullets) and Travis Curry (Armadillo Creek) – is no less super. Nevertheless, the Vandoliers manage to blaze a trail all their own, mixing in healthy doses of honky-tonky and bar rock into its trademark brand of Ameri-Kinda, a genre that they, admittedly, just made up. But then, taking traditional formulas into uncharted territories is part of what makes the band so goddamn fun.


The Van Sanchez offers up their own brand of punk- and early soul-inspired rock with lyrical sincerity and unbridled fervor


Tahoma is the latest creative manifestation of Texas born & raised artist, Brandon Aguilar. It is neither a side-project, nor a band, but a liberating pursuit of captivating melodies & stories. After playing extensively with various bands for over 8 years, Aguilar began writing & performing solo under the moniker in the winter of 2013. Tahoma predominantly features acoustic instrumentation, folk-style songwriting, and dynamic vocals.
The multi-instrumentalist Aguilar recorded a 6-song EP this past spring, with the addition of vocal harmonies by Sarah Oermann. Tahoma then officially became a duo with a busy summer show schedule across Texas. The debut EP entitled "Honest Mark" was released in September, engaging listeners from the Viva Terlingua Festival out in west Texas...to the local music community in Austin and beyond.
