Vagabond

A North Carolina based duo, is the ongoing result of the collaborative endeavors of RJ Evans and Robby Rogers.  Sharing a common Christian faith, a deep and longstanding friendship, and a passion for songwriting and recording, their music is as multifaceted as their influences.  Although probably best described as rock, Vagabond’s appreciation of all good music motivates them to not pigeonhole themselves into one specific style or genre.  Their music is not formulaic or created by AI.  They enjoy the raw creative process - rough edges and all, sincerely hoping that the intended art, passion, and poetry shine through.  

Lyrically, Vagabond touches on life and loss, grief and joy, faith and fear, failure and victory, love and mercy.

Robby and RJ first met in 1999 when RJ joined Elijah Fire as lead guitarist.  From the very beginning, an undeniable chemistry between guitarist / drummer formed, that continues to this day:  The following year, Elijah Fire disbanded, but by then the two had become like brothers, and had already started to work on original songs.  

In the years that followed, Robby, with support of RJ (a more seasoned musician/songwriter) began to explore beyond drumming; taking on more instrumentalist roles, as well as a passion for recording / mixing.  Both, now writing and playing, the horizon is sometimes challenging, but always fascinating and growing. 

What sets Vagabond apart is their unique blend of two distinctly different yet cohesive mindsets coming together to forge music they love, and hope you'll also enjoy!
