VAGABON & FRIENDS: Ziwe, Amindi, and more!
About This Event
VAGABON & FRIENDS brings Vagabon together with guests including Ziwe, Amindi, and other collaborators at National Sawdust. The bill pairs Vagabon’s band‑forward art-pop—built around voice, rhythm and ensemble interplay—with Ziwe’s pointed, satire-driven comedy, producing a cross-genre evening that emphasizes direct songcraft and comic precision over spectacle.
