THE VILLAGERS are the port city's newest rock heroes. Individually all veterans of the local underground music scene, THE VILLAGERS formed in the summer of 2006 after an initial jam session that resulted in two complete song compositions and the seeds of many more.
Powered by the kinetic hook-laden guitar work of Tracey Lavigne, Troy Chenier's unhinged drumming and toy piano percussion, and Joanne Sheils's driving bass lines, VILLAGERS' music is at once dreamy and pulsing with energy, feeding the flames of frontwoman Dawn Collins's affecting lyrics, delivered with the voice of an avenging angel.
