Everleigh Vineyards & Brewing Co. – Victor Haskins & Skein
International artists “Victor Haskins & SKEIN” bring their ethereal sounds to Everleigh Vineyards for an evening of musical wonder.
Victor Haskins is a multi-instrumentalist, multidisciplinary artist, international performer, composer, improviser, bandleader, and educator. Haskins creates transformative, sound-based works which channel the power of human connection, immediacy, and inventiveness to engage with time and space. Victor specializes in generating unforgettable memories through the power of performance.
As a soloist and bandleader, Victor has appeared at the Henrico, Richmond, Elkhart, and Apex Jazz Festivals, the Kennedy Center REACH Opening Festival, the Richmond 2nd Street and East End Festivals, the Festival of New Trumpet Music (NYC), the Winter Blues Jazz Fest (Williamsburg, VA), and the Christopher Newport University Trumpet Festival. He has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Millennium Stage (Washington, D.C.) among many others, including several venues in Virginia and Maryland, New York City, Montreal, New Orleans, the University of KwaZulu-Natal (Durban, South Africa), and Teatro SESI Rio Vermelho (Salvador, Bahia, BR).
Victor appears at Everleigh this evening configured as a three-piece band called SKEIN. As the band’s name suggests, the members SKEIN weave together improvisational threads of emotional melodies and infectious rhythms. The result: dynamic tapestries of uplifting spiritual stories rendered in sound, song, and groove. Scintillating, synthesized tones meld with rumbling drums and sizzling cymbals as dark, smoky cornet notes dance in the air atop a deep, lithe bass. Victor Haskins & SKEIN’s ethereal and electrifying performance of all-original music takes the audience to another dimension; the journey is as beautiful as the destination.
