Vandaveer...you've done it now

Sometimes when I listen to this music I'm transported back in time to the 1930s. There I am in a dark boxcar eating a can of beans in a tattered suit. A man approaches me and says in a deep dark voice, "Marianne, you've done it now." Then I say, "Who are you talking to? My name's not Marianne! Get away from my beans!" Then I wake up and realize the power that is Vandaveer. Mark Charles, the singer song writer behind Vandaveer, plays out of Washington, DC and put out his debut album, Grace and Speed, earlier this year on Gypsy Eyes Records. This album has received much praise, and many have compared him to the likes of Donovan, Dylan, Drake, and Waits. That's pretty high company, but well deserved. Vandaveer combines the lyric quality of Dylan, the voice of Drake, and the back alley drunken feeling of Waits. His next show is on December 14th at the Black Cat in DC with Junior League and Olivia Mancini & the Housemates.
