The Badlands Las Vegas

The Badlands are the result of the last year spent busking and playing gigs around town, The Badlands have begun to make a name in the local scene and are expecting to release their 2nd EP in the fall of 2014

At their house in Downtown Las Vegas, they have spent days and nights recording and writing the most current chapter of songs. Listening artists like Gillian Welch, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt and a vast collection of folk and roots music, the Badlands have learned to make of music what really moves their soul. “We are connected to the past in a way that keeps us going forward” says guitarist Anthony Divincenzo. 

The Badlands is a drummer-less acoustic foursome consisting of Anthony DiVincenzo playing acoustic rhythm guitar, Alvaro Egas on lead acoustic guitar and Banjo, Steven Tankersley bass guitar and Sara Jean Worrell belts her heart out on the vocals. They feel they have a great opportunity to show their music thanks to the roots revival of the last few years, and a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music, a mix of traditional music and uncharted territory. The Badlands feel they are powered by passion, ripened by hard work, they don’t know where it comes from, but they got a good idea where it’s going. They are just believers trying to remind people how goddamn good it feels to be turned on by a real creative imagination.
