SGT. SPLENDOR (Kate Vargas & Eric McFadden) with special guest Ty Curtis

🎶 An unforgettable night of raw blues, junkyard folk, and rock 'n roll soul as Sgt. Splendor hits the Jack London Revue stage. The dynamic duo—Kate Vargas and Eric McFadden—bring decades of artistry, grit, and genre-bending brilliance to this one-of-a-kind performance.
🎸 Eric McFadden, a powerhouse guitarist and vocalist, has toured and recorded with George Clinton & P-Funk, Anders Osborne, Eric Burdon & The Animals, and collaborated with artists like Les Claypool, Jackson Browne, and Joe Strummer. He’s known for blending flamenco, punk, funk, and gypsy rock into a searing live performance.
🎤 Kate Vargas, born in Albuquerque and now based in New York, is known for her gravelly voice (often compared to Tom Waits), lyrical intensity, and a sound that fuses folk, supernatural storytelling, and hard-edged Americana. She’s earned praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, HuffPost, and American Songwriter.
Together as Sgt. Splendor, they released their first album Occasions for Self-Congratulations in 2022—a bold, genre-mashing declaration of soulful intent. GOLDMINE Magazine calls them “one of the most unique bands to come out of the new millennium.”
🔥 Opening the night is Ty Curtis, a commanding force in modern blues. With a voice full of soul and guitar work that mesmerizes, Curtis has released eight albums and shared the stage with icons like George Thorogood, The Doobie Brothers, and Robert Cray. Backed by a top-tier band featuring Steve Kerin on keys, David Kahl on bass, and Richard Lawrence on drums, Ty Curtis delivers a performance that’s both captivating and heartfelt. His latest release, Ascendant Blues, showcases a powerful evolution in sound—don't miss your chance to catch him live.
🍷 Doors open at 7PM, show starts at 8PM. This event is 21+.
