The Vox Hunters

 

Armand Aromin and Benedict Gagliardi are The Vox Hunters.

The best part of traveling or being on vacation is often, for us, just wandering around looking for the interesting.  It could be a landscape or seascape, architecture, people or really anything unique that strikes our fancy.  And that is precisely how we discovered The Vox Hunters on our recent trip to Newport.  

The musical duo, native Rhode Islanders, are incredibly talented (both play multiple musical instruments) and perform an entrancing traditional folk music the likes of which you have never heard before and it truly tells a story.  A story of us.  

We caught up with them for a few moments before they began a quick rehearsal for a recent appearance at The Redwood Library And Athenaeum on Bellevue Avenue.  And how were they going to perform this concert?

Why, on top of a giant fluorescent yellow rocking chair, of course.  The 19 foot Windsor style rocking chair being painted the bright color was what, we have to admit, caught our attention.  We just had to stop and find our what it was all about!

We highly suggest you check out their music (and tap dancing) on the website and join us in becoming a new fan:  The Vox Hunters.  Happy summer travels, everyone!
