Sweet Irene Performs Original Song “Honey Pie” at Swamp Boil Restaurant

Sweet Irene played at our favorite swamp fusion restaurant, Swamp Boil, back in November. We are happy to finally release some musical footage from that night.

Sweet Irene brings a sweet and sultry energy to (V)OWLS with her powerful saxophone riffs complimented by her ethereal vocals.

The Vagileles will be performing at Cypress and Grove Brewery on Saturday 12/18/2021 at the Gainesville Girls Rock Camp Fundraiser! Join us for a family friendly night of holiday covers, karaoke, food, and more!

More about Swamp Boil: Swamp Boil kindly hosts a variety of local musicians and songwriters to play during their weekday dinner rush. Their food is great, and they treat the artists well. We enjoyed playing music at Swamp Boil

“Established in July 2020, Swamp Boil combines the exciting experience of Cajun seafood boils with the freshness and aromatics of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The result is a hands-on, high-energy culinary experience that immerses all five senses. It’s perfect for family meals, gatherings, and celebrations.”

A Very VOWLS Summer

Here is what we have been doing this summer. . .

Summer 2019 has been quite a productive summer for us. We have several different creative projects in the works that will be coming together with rapidity in the fall.

In the beginning of the summer we started shooting music videos at Caitlyn’s childhood home for a community video series entitled, “Let Us All Be Home.” We invite you to join us on this musical journey to share your songs of home with us. We hope that you can take your own video of yourself/selves playing your songs of home in a lovely homey location, uploading it to your social media platforms, and tagging us. #vowlslikeowls #letusallbehome

We hope this project can be an ongoing engagement that brings our community of creators together.

You can find our first few submissions to this project on our YouTube Channel.

Over the last few weeks we have started cultivating some of our new songs and started focusing on recording and releasing new music. That’s right, NEW MUSIC.
We have not one, but TWO short EPs that we will be releasing this fall. The first is a home studio recording mixed by our drummer and dear friend Tristan Harvey and the second is a studio recorded EP that we recorded with Rob McGreggor at Goldentone Studio.

Let Us All Be Home – Episode 2 – “Twilight”

“Summer dies and August flies….”

VOWLS has had our busiest year of gigging yet! Now that summer is coming to a close in Florida we are taking November off to work on new material and unreleased material for your audial pleasure.

This October we went out to the Roots Revival Festival at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We enjoyed the beautiful weather, the campfire jams and enjoyed time with our families. After the Leftover Salmon set we played a live set (with the accompaniment of our great friend Ben) on the corner of the campground’s main road.

The set was truly magical.

Set List:
One World is Enough – Sting
Shining Gold
Home
You Can’t Hide What’s Inside
Matter and Blues
Thank You Bruce Lee
Foggy
Slips Away
Althea

(And More! As I type this a month after the fact I am having trouble remembering what else we played.)

Over all Roots was an A+ weekend that we all needed.

Our great friend Arielle D’Ornellas took some amazing photos of us as well. Arielle is a great photographer and an amazing musician, artist and friend.
