VAHCO / Tall City: Tapes Tour 2026

About this event

Get Tickets Pedals, synths, drum machines, and 12 cassette players: Multi-instrumentalist and artist Vahco Before Horses presents a night of experiments with tapes loaded with found sounds and creates soundscapes that range from dark and ambient to avant-garde hip hop. On his 2026 Tapes Tour, Vahco is joined by different instrumentalists in each city to make each performance unique. Tall City opens the night, bringing instrumental lo-fi boom bap to Afro-Cuban rhythms. SNARK will provide live visual projection. At the end of Vahco’s performance, Tall City and other musicians are invited to join Vahco’s set of improvised tape orchestration. For this tour, Vahco takes a break from his vocal work, reaching deep into his past, in search of something more tactile, something that has unexpected results that are different with every performance.
