Vagary (def. a whimsical idea), is primarily a musical partnership between Steve Pitkin and Michael Tanksley. Having played in other bands, then together in the classic rock cover band Bucula 2013-2018, the urge to develop original music Steve had gradually developed led to acoustic arrangements between them. The love of deeper cuts by artists like Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell, Zeppelin and Rush, among others, can be heard in the songwriting. Elements like fretless bass by Michael add our own sound to beloved covers, and have been essential to the original music. Adding drums periodically beginning in 2020, Vagary was able to expand its repertoire and record in 2023, while consistently returning to acoustic arrangements and performances as well. Since 2024, Derek Wiebe has brought another level on drums and helped us to add amazing and unique covers while bringing out a deeper interpretation of our original music. June 25 will feature the acoustic duo side of Vagary.
