Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Robbin Kapsalis of Robbin Kapsalis and Vintage #18
The first thing you notice when Vintage#18 hits the stage, is Robbin Kapsalis’ white glass beaded fringe dress and white knee-hi boots as she sways on stage creating a hypnotic visual with the soul foundation of her voice: something between a Gladys Knight and Anita Baker. Then you hear the band behind her, and you think, ‘wow, this is something else.’
Vintage#18 lays a low, steady groove allowing Robbin’s vocals to breathe. Sauntering and sexy with a mix of blues rhythms and soul grooves fuel a blistering performance of the D.C. based soul-blues band. After attending a concert, DJ John Porter of Richmond, VA’s WCVE declares, “Vintage#18 is a band you have to see live to appreciate their level of performance.” According to The Alternate Root, “Robbin Kapsalis delivers vocals that slink through a smoky haze of Soul.”
Performing together since 2013, the band sharpened their sound and performance chops in clubs throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. In 2016, they represented the Central Virginia Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee and afterward immediately began to work on their debut album Grit (2017). The band’s performances have generated quite the buzz throughout D.C and beyond. DJ Nick “Dr. Nick” Johnson of Washington D.C. radio station, WPFW declares “Their onstage performance, with Robbin’s boundless energy, will leave you breathless.” The band soon found themselves opening shows for The Nighthawks, Billy Price, Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials, Albert Cummings, Selwyn Birchwood, and Coco Montoya
