The Modern Vandals

Talented guitarist Steve Isherwood is a full time student at The Hartt School. Steve’s background in the blues genre shows in his passionate guitar playing. His ever-present, positive energy will make you an instant fan.

Anna Cotton is the band’s bass-player extraordinaire. But there is more. When she is not gigging with the band she is teaching high school science classes!  

High-energy drumming powerhouse Julian Sherwood (who also fronts his own band and is an in-demand session musician) has been described as “that drummer you just can’t stop watching”.
