Aunt Vicki
Aunt Vicki merges indie, retro rock, and Americana into their signature sound. Led by married songwriters Lee Dyer and Erin Campbell, their two styles give a yin and yang to the overall vibe. Influenced by the rock legends of the ’60s and the indie scene of the ’90s-00s, the four-piece band delivers catchy tunes with a gritty edge. Drew Ball is on Bass/Stage Mischief, and Tristan Smith adds a charming garage rock sass with his vintage drum kit.
