Spring is quickly approaching and we can all feel it. From the thawing ice, to the emergent chirps from our feathered friends, there are signs that we have made it through another excruciating winter. Luckily, nature isn’t the only thing that’s giving us hope. Vacationer, helmed by former The Starting Line lead, Kenny Vasoli, is like warm Caribbean UV’s on our vitamin D deficient souls. The band’s distinct approach to tropical pop-rock transports the listener to a place of carefree vitality, and optimism for the good times ahead. May this band pepper your spring and summer playlists.

We caught up with Vacationer down in Austin at Cacophony Recorders and our friends at Pan Up Productions provided the crisp visuals.
