The Vegabonds have a new album slated for early 2019, and they’re hitting the road in support of it; the Alabama-born Southern rockers will play The Basement East on December 22nd. With four albums under their belt, the Vegabonds have taken time to craft their infectious Americana sound, rising from the Southeastern college circuit to headlining their own shows and opening for groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Their upcoming fifth album, titled V, showcases the latest iteration of their sound with tracks blending folk, country, rock & roll, and pop hooks, as well as the catchy wordsmithing of songwriter Daniel Allen. Fans of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, the Allman Brothers, or Springsteen will rave about V, which comes out on January 18. You can listen to the first single "I Ain’t Having It" below. – Will Sisskind
