Vagabon mini concert with host Stephen Kallao

In the aftermath of her best friend’s death, the singer-songwriter Vagabon had a moment of clarity. She sold her things, left the US, and moved to a town outside of Hamburg. Inspired by the club scene in Germany, Vagabon infused dance music into a new batch of songs she’d begun writing. Less focused on introspection, and centered around joy, her latest album, Sorry I Haven’t Called, is a celebration.

Listen to the session here.
