Matthew Logan Vasquez (of Delta Spirit), Derik Hultquist

Matthew Logan Vasquez is best known as the lead singer and founder of acclaimed San Diego indie-rock band Delta Spirit. But, after a decade-long run, he recently decided to strike out on his own, at least temporarily. Since the fall of 2015, Vasquez has recorded both an EP and a full-length album, suggesting that he simply had more creative ideas inside him than could fit in a single band. Delta Spirit fans will find a lot to like in Vasquez’s solo work. But his new material is more raw and ragged, harking to the unbridled rock of formative influences from Crazy Horse to Iggy Pop. Catch Vasquez on Tuesday, July 26, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington with Derek Hultquist.
