Vesta Varro
Vesta Varro, one of last year’s winners of Indie Week Toronto, is a rock band from Limerick, Ireland. With their captivating performances during Indie Week and most recently during Canadian Music Week, they’ve left a lasting impression in the Toronto music scene. Soon they are going to come back for more.
Vesta Varro’s live performances are a real treat. It is not often that a band captivates whole venues in the way they do. With their music, that is equally heartfelt and intense, Vesta Varro creates soundscapes that draw people in and make them want to come up close to watch the performance. Impeccable musicianship combined with a contagious energy on stage guarantee a great live experience.
When you listen to Vesta Varro’s debut CD ‘Exit Here,’ you will encounter an album with ten outstanding and well produced songs. The producer is no other than Richard Rainey, who also produced fellow countrymen U2.
Vesta Varro’s music can also be heard on TV. The CBS show “Guiding Light” features four of their songs: ‘Reaching Out,’ ‘Pyramid Clocks,’ ‘Coming Back,’ and ‘Believe.’
“The buzz and reaction we got completely overwhelmed us,” bassist Rod Smith said in an interview on indieSolo.com about their 2007 debut performance in Toronto. Now, that they’ve been back for a second time, Rod Smith says: “One of the best things we’ve found with the Toronto music scene is how much other bands and musicians support each other. It is bands helping bands, and it creates a great atmosphere to be involved in.”
With only three visits to Toronto so far, the band has already noticed a growing fan base. Vesta Varro came back in May to play at the Roger’s Spring Festival, as well as other shows in Toronto, and will be back in October to perform once again at Indie Week Toronto 2008.
