The Leslie
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
A Texas alt-country
group with punk roots will
take the stage during the
upcoming “Live from the
Leslie,” a monthly concert
series in Pendleton.
Offering the next wave
of Texas music, Vandoliers
is a six-piece Dallas-Fort
Worth band led by front-
man Joshua Fleming. With
a mixture of gritty vocals,
country twang and fi ddles,
honky-tonk and horns, the
group channels the Lone
Star State’s uniqueness and
tradition. Annalise Dome-
nighini with Noisey said
Vandoliers’ sound con-
tinues to reenergize mod-
ern cowpunk — calling it
“warmly familiar.”
Formed in 2015, the
band recently released its
third album, “Forever.”
It’s described as “a mix of
youthful and defi ant punk,
rugged Red Dirt country,
and vibrant Tejano.”
In addition to Fleming
(songwriter, lead singer,
guitar), the band features
Mark Moncrieff (bass),
Guyton Sanders (drums),
Travis
Curry
(fi ddle),
Dustin Fleming (electric
guitar) and Cory Graves
(multi-i nst r u ment alist).
Also, Fleming is known to
serve up rousing sing-along
choruses.
The event is Friday,
May 3 at The Lodge, 14
S.E. Third St., Pendleton.
The concert doors open at
7 p.m. and the show starts
at 8 p.m. Advance tickets
are $10 via www.brown-
papertickets.com (which
also provides an opportu-
nity to reserve tables for
two). Also, limited tickets
are available for purchase
at 215 S.E. Dorion Ave.,
Pendleton. Tickets sold at
the door are $12.
Tennessee troubadour
Cory Branan will perform
the opening set. His lat-
est release, “Adios,” was
named one of the 40 best
country albums of 2017 by
Rolling Stone.
