About Danny Vago
Join us for a homecoming show! Danny Vago moved to North Carolina last summer, and returns to Omaha for one night solo performance!
His band Vago was a staple in Omaha and the midwest for 20+ years. They released several albums and toured the country from California to Texas, Minnesota to Alabama, before putting out their final band record in 2024, “What I Can’t Do."
Establishing himself on the east coast, Danny has released his second solo album, “Way of Abilene” in 2024 and his band, “The Penny Spenders,” is wrapping up recording for a 2025 release. "On Way of Abilene, Danny Vago connects with his listener with his sincere songs of life’s contradictions and longings.” - Americana Highways
Danny's gritty, honest Americana style revolves around his thoughtful lyrics, introspective songs, and catchy hooks - and he can belt out bar tunes with the best of em.
Joining the lineup are former bandmates in Omaha bands Jeremy Mercy & the Rapture Orphans and Fox.
About Jeremy Mercy & the Rapture Orphans
Nebraska songwriter and native son Jeremy Mercy knows something about a life spent searching for purpose. It wasn't until age 30 that he first picked up a guitar and began to envision a life in music. "I was just a small-town kid with parents who were fresh off the farm. All the people in my life were manual laborers whose lives revolved around hard work," says Mercy. "Many were creative in their own ways, but not in music. And certainly no one who'd tolerate being called an 'artist'." Although Mercy may have finally come to terms with that label, those working-class roots still run straight through his music - from the blue-collar desperation and resolve of his characters right down to his no-frills guitar playing and song forms. But with an eye on the horizon where the human meets the divine, Mercy’s raw and honest songwriting often transcends the everyday and touches on the timeless.
