SGT. SPLENDOR
Before joining forces, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor were already formidable solo artists, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at outlets like NPR, HuffPost, American Songwriter, Rolling Stone and Vice (including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Christgau); and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints on guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars, Anders Osbourne, Karl Denson, Stockholm Syndrome, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, plus a slew of solo albums, and session work with everyone from Jackson Browne to The Clash’s Joe Strummer.
Rachel Spung & The Soul Service are an up and coming R&B band based in San Jose, CA, and Monterey, CA. Their sound has been praised as “groovy yet unprocessed, resulting in a unity of sounds…” (Content Magazine). They’re influenced by a multitude of genres ranging from traditional Jazz to Rock-and-Roll. Noted for their dynamic stage presence, the band performs a medley of original compositions while spontaneously showing off their improv chops. The material is ever evolving, alive and tasteful allowing the audience to grasp who Rachel Spung, Brandon Earley, Daniel Williams and Daniel Monroe are as individual musicians, and the power they wield as a group.

"One of the most unique bands to come out of the new millennium is the contrasting duo of Sgt. Splendor. The group consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist/flautist Kate Vargas, and her partner in crime, guitarist/vocalist Eric McFadden (George Clinton & P-Funk, Eric Burdon, Les Claypool, etc)...is this an album for the masses?... yes. Yet it is even more so an album for the music aficionados who understand and appreciate in-depth, heavy songwriting, wrapped in a blanket of heavy Blues and Rock music that holds its own against anything you can throw at it. " - Tone Scott / GOLDMINE Magazine 2024
