Vaud and the Villains is a 19 piece 1930s New Orleans orchestra and cabaret. With echoes of Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Session Band, they are Americana Noir meets Moulin Rouge. A genre bending spectacle...at once seedy and inspiring... gritty and sublime.

In 2007, Andy Comeau and Dawn Lewis were planning their wedding. Bruce Springsteen's album We Shall Overcome: the Seeger Sessions--a rambunctious, joyful tribute to American folk music with a dozen-plus collaborators--had just been released, and the couple wanted to find a group similar to Springsteen's for their ceremony.

Not surprisingly, they weren't able to find one. They realized if they wanted something like that, they would have to create it themselves--so they did. They took the names Vaud Overstreet and Peaches Mahoney, and went to work creating Vaud & the Villains, a lively, swinging-from-the-rafters musical adventure that blends American roots music, New Orleans soul, Moulin Rouge aesthetics, and 1930s gangster noir.

Bring your wretched souls, your sins and your dancing feet...they will save you and you will never be the same...
