Album Release Announcement! -Together in this Moment

We are proud to announce that we have officially released our new album, Together in this Moment! This project has been a true labor of love, we started recording in 2020 and have been writing the songs featured for the last ten years. This seventeen-track concept album was proudly recorded and mixed at Goldentone Studios in Gainesville, Fl.

Featuring, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, sax, and synth, this album blends the sounds of nature with the original Americana music of (V)owls. This vocally driven project includes songs written by all of our band members including a Dreamer’s Interlude.

Performing together as (V)owls has been a wild ride filled with love, joy, gratitude, unforgettable adventures, and all of the uncertainty that comes with life’s changes. We have had different members come and go over time, and experimented with many different instrumental arrangements. We are grateful to have captured this era of music in this jam packed album, it is our largest collection of songs yet, and we are excited to share it with you!
Together in this Moment is available on all steaming platforms.

Sweet Irene Performs Original Song “Honey Pie” at Swamp Boil Restaurant

Sweet Irene played at our favorite swamp fusion restaurant, Swamp Boil, back in November. We are happy to finally release some musical footage from that night.

Sweet Irene brings a sweet and sultry energy to (V)OWLS with her powerful saxophone riffs complimented by her ethereal vocals.

The Vagileles will be performing at Cypress and Grove Brewery on Saturday 12/18/2021 at the Gainesville Girls Rock Camp Fundraiser! Join us for a family friendly night of holiday covers, karaoke, food, and more!

More about Swamp Boil: Swamp Boil kindly hosts a variety of local musicians and songwriters to play during their weekday dinner rush. Their food is great, and they treat the artists well. We enjoyed playing music at Swamp Boil

“Established in July 2020, Swamp Boil combines the exciting experience of Cajun seafood boils with the freshness and aromatics of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The result is a hands-on, high-energy culinary experience that immerses all five senses. It’s perfect for family meals, gatherings, and celebrations.”

What have we been up to in 2021?

It has been a long two years since the pandemic started in 2020, and as humans living lives on this planet we have also been affected by it. Individually, we have been taking care of ourselves and making sure that our health, safety, and families come first. Musically, we have been spending the last couple of years exploring our sound, tightening up our existing repertoire, and preparing to record a full length 18-track album.

An 18-track album? Yes. It is an ambitious project, but these songs are so important to us and in times like these we think that now, more than ever, the people of the world (and local Gainesville area ) need music, our music!

Along with focusing on our music as a collective, we also have been cultivating our individual artistic and musical endeavors. We started our sister band, Hibiscus, and both Caitlyn and Tristan are scheduling time in the studio recording solo albums. Lunchbox has created a prolific body of artwork and has been showing art at galleries around town.

We are also trying to cultivate an online presence and community through various social media platforms like Den.Social, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, and Tiktok. If you’re reading this please check us out on these platforms and hit the follow/subscribe button.

We have been working hard on ourselves, our sound, and our community to make it through. We thank you for all of your love and support!
