14 West

14 West is the exit that leads you to the beautiful city of Burlington Vermont. Here, you will find four local musicians who work hard to make you dance. During shows, each player unveils a unique music background. But there is one thing they all have in common while playing their original music; they all got soul. With moving vocals, and brilliant musicianship, this soul-driven band will get you out of your seat and move like you didn’t know you could.
