VickiKristinaBarcelona is Rachelle Garniez, Amanda Homi and Mamie Minch, a power trio of music veterans dedicated to re-imagining the songs of Tom Waits via inventive three-part harmonies and a treasure trove of instruments including banjos, bottles, squeezebox and zills. They create a world of sound at once powerful, playful and poignant.
Seasoned singers and songwriters, each a hybrid story-teller and multi-instrumentalist in her own right, join forces to salute the tragicomic lyrical genius of the Waits songbook. Picture the Triplets of Belleville disguised as Depression Era hobos riding the rails across America stopping to play dance parties and funerals along the road to nowhere.
Three distinct styles form a captivating original mix, greater than the sum of its’ parts, never failing to amaze and delight audiences of all stripes.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Create Council on the Arts.
