Vague Plot at the Milwaukee Psych Fest on May 11, 2024

Beginning as a post-pandemic weekly jam session among Brooklyn music veterans Zachary Cale, Phil Jacob, Ben Copperhead, Uriah Theriault, and John Studer, Vague Plot has become a regular working and touring group. Most recently their work has appeared on the much-beloved Island House label.

Their jazz-flavored psychedelic music was a big hit at the 2024 Milwaukee Psych Festival. Since then the band has released a live Bandcamp-only album and are hopefully working on a followup to their debut album
