Vagabond electrifies theater during Winter Week

Jeffery Zhang, Marissa Mendoza, Cordia Wang, and Sofia Ciciarelli

January 28, 2026

The four-man band, Vagabond, performed in the theater on Tuesday, Jan. 27. Formed five years ago, the group has performed at Wayland High School five times. Vagabond features senior Ori Kohl on drums, senior Ben Hammond on guitar and vocals, senior Atticus DeGrenier on guitar, bass and vocals and junior Brennan Smith on bass and keyboard.

Vagabond opened the concert with “Don’t Stop Believin” by Journey and followed with “As It Was” by Harry Styles. The set list also included an original, “Don’t Let It Haunt You,” as well as “Kilby Girl” by The Backseat Lovers, “Yellow” by Coldplay, “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.

“I’ve always loved listening to music and watching other people perform, and seeing how good they make me feel,” DeGrenier said. “I want to make other people feel the same way. And also, it’s really fun to get really good at something and put on a performance.”
