“With influences ranging from power pop to prog rock, the Vanguard emerged on the Winston-Salem, N.C., music scene in the early 1980s and for the next decade thrilled fans with energetic live shows, ambitious original songs and unconventional covers. Now, after a decades-long hiatus, the band is playing a few select shows. Don’t miss these extraordinary players including Jon Heames (veteran of the Raleigh music scene and formerly of Let’s Active, Motocaster and the Backsliders); Mike Chamis (longtime Winston-Salem band leader and music teacher); Paul Dillon (guitarist, singer and Winston-Salem native); and Frank Watson (drummer/keyboardist with Triangle-area bands the Had Matters, Lowbrow, the wonderwhys and the Circus).”
