Vagabond Angels

An adaptable indie rock outfit fronted by vocalist Rikki Lee Travolta and multi-instrumentalist Joey Broman, Chicago's Vagabond Angels emerged in the late 2010s with a sound that combines elements of rock, pop, and country. They released their debut, Man on Fire, in 2019. Citing a wide array of influences -- including the Chainsmokers, Jason Mraz, Bon Jovi, Darius Rucker, Goo Goo Dolls, Garth Brooks, and John Mellencamp -- the band was founded by Broman (an actor, choir director, music instructor, church organist, and founding member of the Kranes and Elephant Gun) and Rikki Lee Travolta (a talented singer who has appeared in nationally headlining productions of the Broadway musicals Rent, West Side Story, and Bye Bye Birdie). Vagabond Angels issued their first full-length effort, Man on Fire, in 2019, followed by the single "Romeo Room" in 2020. The band kept up the momentum in 2021 with a steady stream of songs, including "Quarterstruck," "Here with Me," and "Connection."
