• Art Basel Week: Home Grown party at the Vagabond

  Rachel Goodrich While seemingly the whole highbrow world descends on Miami Beach tonight for the official opening of Art Basel, across the causeway, the Vagabond kicks off the artsy extravaganza with a locals-centric fiesta.

It was all well-deserved and timed with the October 2008 release of her debut full-length, Tinker Toys (Yellow Bear Records).
