Vanity Project

Vanity Project is a product of convenience and fate.  We all live on the same street and same block.  The catalyst for our inception was the annual National Night Out event held every year.  The first year we hired a an acoustic guitar player to provide some entertainment.  The following year, Freddy Echeverri (neighbor 1)  provided something similar and he knocked it out of the park.  The following year I joined Freddy on drums (Jamal Said..Neighbor 2).   That night, neighbor 3 walked across the street and asked if he could sit in on bass (Brandon Durrett..Neighbor 3).  There began what has become Vanity Project.  Originally, that’s all we did, once a year, one night, done.  Last year around the holidays we all found ourselves with some extra time on our hands and decided to meet once a week and try to take this to the next level.  Memebers were added, more gear purchased, practiced more often and even got a pretty high profile gig!  COVID!!  Cancel everything.  Gig disappeared, some band members disappeared….and there the three of us were, saying what now?  We pressed on, honing the material we knew, learning new stuff and just having fun with no idea where this might go.  Today we have a pretty eclectic collaboration of music from The Eagles to Rage Against the Machine and a tendency to put our own twist on popular 80’s,90’s era hits.  We are all seasoned musicians with varying musical experiences, from classical training to opening up for national acts in front of thousands of fans. Vanity Project brings a high energy collaboration of music and entertainment to our listeners and guarantees a good time for all.
