Vakili w/ Sound & Shape

City Winery Nashville Presents Vakili w/ Sound & Shape live in concert on November 13th at 7:00pm

Vakili Band is a fiery five-piece rock band is fronted by Lily Vakili, a savvy street poet who finds the sweet spot in the nexus formed by Patti Smith’s loose-limbed punk swagger, Grace Slick’s inviting psychedelia and the throaty blues-belting of a Janis Joplin, not to mention the full-throated howl of a Grace Potter or Brittany Howard.

On September 8th, Vakili Band released their third full-length album, Honey. The 8-track album exemplifies the collaborative bacchanalia of lead guitarist Ben St. Jack, harmonica player extraordinaire Joel Dorow, and the four-on-the-floor rhythm section of bassist Matt Jovanis and drummer Gordon Kuba.

At a time when sub genres threaten to overwhelm, Sound & Shape make pure, unfettered Rock And Roll. Exploring every corner of stylistic possibility within that context, S&S’s songs range from the heavy and fierce to the soothing and gentle. Frontman/songwriter Ryan Caudle’s voice can easily lull you into a false sense of security only to have his guitars come crashing in along with drummer Ben Proctor’s herd-of-stampeding-rhinos drumming and bassist Pat Lowry’s soul rumbling low end.Over the course of several self-released records and relentless national touring, Sound&Shape have honed a sound both familiar and forward thinking. Enough hallmarks of the rock and roll history they are descendants of to honor their heroes alongside a healthy dose of eyes to the future originality, Sound&Shape has already amassed a mountain of new material that they look forward to bringing to the masses for many years to come. The band has toured or done single dates with Sparta, King's X, Fishbone, Jeremy Enigk, DaDa, Tremonti, John 5, Crobot, The Spill Canvas and others.
