Amerikinda with Cory and Travis
by Vandoliers
Since joining the Vandoliers in 2015, fiddle player Travis Curry and multi-instrumentalist Cory Graves have been criss-crossing the country in cramped vans, blazing a trail all their own by incorporating elements of mariachi, punk and classic country into their trademark brand of Amerikinda — a genre they, admittedly, just made up. The barroom buddies carry that same energy into their podcast. Saddle up and hang on tight, because on this show anything goes.
