Independent American rock band The Vegabonds’ new song, “Where Do You Have To Be Tomorrow,” is out now. Listen/share HERE.
Keyboardist Beau Cooper shares, “I wrote this song during COVID when I was desperate for adventure. ‘Where Do You Have To Be Tomorrow’ is a subtle way of asking someone if they’re down to stay up all night and see where the night goes.”
“Where Do You Have To Be Tomorrow” is the second song unveiled from the band’s anticipated new album, Young & Unafraid, due June 20 (pre-save HERE). With this album, the Alabama natives are poised for a long-overdue breakout, offering their most cohesive record to date. Produced by The Vegabonds and Tom Tapley (Blackberry Smoke, Pearl Jam), Young & Unafraid tells stories of heartbreak and redemption as the band reflects on the highs and lows of their youth and the past decade on the road. Across these ten tracks—including previously released songs “Till The Hurt Don’t Hurt” and “Leave The Light On”—The Vegabonds showcase the genre-bending sound they’ve cultivated throughout their career, blending elements of alternative and heartland rock.
Of the project, the group shares, “We’ve been playing together since college, and this album really captures who we are as a band. Making it felt nostalgic, like we were sitting around a fire talking about the moments we’ve experienced together over the years—the good, the bad, and the dumb. We hope everyone can find themselves in these stories and that it helps them remember what it felt like to be Young & Unafraid.”
Known for their dynamic live shows, the band has performed countless headline dates across the U.S. and Europe and has joined renowned artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gregg Allman, Blackberry Smoke, Lukas Nelson, Whiskey Myers, and The Red Clay Strays on tour. The Vegabonds will continue touring this summer, including back-to-back nights at Charleston’s The Windjammer in June for two special album-release shows. See below for the current tour itinerary, with more dates to be announced soon. Full details are available at www.thevegabonds.com/tour.
Since forming in 2010, The Vegabonds have established themselves as “a force to be reckoned with” (Live For Live Music) and built a passionate grassroots following with fan-favorite singles such as “Georgia Fire,” “Shakey Hands,” “Partying with Strangers,” and “Where We Used To Go.” Of the group, Music Row declared, “Where has this awesome band been all my life… This has all the pulse-quickening snap, crackle, and pop you could want of a country rocker,” while Atwood Magazine praised, “The Vegabonds are truly keeping southern rock and roll alive, but they’re not afraid to step outside the established and partake in the experiential.”
The Vegabonds are Daniel Allen (vocals, acoustic guitar), Richard Forehand (guitars, pedal steel), Beau Cooper (keyboards), Paul Bruens (bass), and Bryan Harris (drums).
