Before joining forces, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor were already formidable solo artists, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at outlets like NPR, HuffPost, American Songwriter, Rolling Stone and Vice (including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Christgau); and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints on guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars, Anders Osbourne, Karl Denson, Stockholm Syndrome, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, plus a slew of solo albums, and session work with everyone from Jackson Browne to The Clash’s Joe Strummer.

The duo stays busy, playing approximately 127 shows in 2024. One week they could be in Florida, and the next week maybe Hawaii, followed by a week in New Mexico...

August 2024 saw them play alongside Matt Wallin, Eric Martinez and Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons in Virginia City. The duo found the enjoyed Montana (Virginia City) quite a lot and decided to return last November to play a run of shows from The Rustic Hut in Florence, to Big Sky, Livingston and Bozeman.

This month Sgt. Splendor will return to Montana for the third time in nine months with shows at the Covellite Theatre (Butte), Tips Up (Big Sky), The Attic (Livingston) and The Filling Station. If you like amazing songwriting with mind blowing guitar playing do not sleep on these shows. They are coming to play for YOU. Tickets are on sale now at each venue’s normal outlet. We’ll see you there.
