Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Apples to Apples

Combining confessional, literate songwriting, straightforward pop hookery and ornate — bordering on orchestral — arrangements, Syracuse, N.Y., quintet the Vanderbuilts trade in a lush indie-folk sound that fans of the Decemberists, Okkervil River and Bright Eyes will undoubtedly find appealing. Touring in support of their debut full-length album, Miguel’s Orchard, the band drops by the Monkey House in Winooski on Friday, January 11.
