Daniel Vildosola and John Waugh may come from opposite sides of the Atlanticone from the sun-scorched deserts of Arizona, the other from the rolling hills of Northumberland, UKbut together, their music finds an effortless middle ground. Drawing from their vastly different environments, theyve created a sound that feels natural, fusing Americana and jazz with a sense of place and history thats both personal and expansive. Vildosolas Americana roots are steeped in the rugged landscape of Tucson, while Waughs jazz upbringing in Newcastle is influenced by the citys industrial heritage. Both places share a spirit of resilience, shaped by their unique histories. This common ground adds a textured backdrop to their collaboration, blending the wide-open spaces of the American West with the sophistication of jazz. Individually, theyve cut their teeth on the world stage in pop musicVildosola, a long- standing member of HÆLOS, producing various artists, and more recently, touring extensively with CMAT. While Waugh has spent over a decade playing with the chart- topping powerhouse, The 1975. Despite their success in the pop world, they now find themselves retreating to intimate venues, where they can explore a more organic, jazz- infused sound, drawing from the folk traditions and stories of their respective homes. Together, they create a unique blend of Americana Jazz, where the rich storytelling of roots music meets the improvisational freedom of jazz. Its a collaboration that feels both familiar and fresh, connecting two distant landscapes into a cohesive, compelling musical journey.
