Vacation Manor emerged from Lynchburg, Virginia in 2016 as a duo anchored in indie rock, alternative experimentation, and emotive pop energy. Nathan Towles (vocals, guitar) and Cole Young (drums) create music marked by shimmering guitars, glistening keys, and lyrics that reflect on personal growth and connection. From their debut EP 'Girl, Say' through their self-titled full length and recent 'Back to Town' EP, they’ve developed a sound that balances vulnerability with vibrant hooks.
On stage, Vacation Manor delivers performances with warmth and presence that pull audiences in. They’ve toured alongside artists like Briston Maroney and Night Traveler, and made appearances at festivals such as the Bright Shade Music & Arts Festival. Their live shows are built on honest connection, where quiet moments and full choruses both land with emotional force.
Now with the Back to Town EP (2025) they turn inward toward themes of change, fatherhood, nostalgia, and the tension between holding on and moving forward. Their fanbase continues to grow as their sound evolves, staying true to what first drew listeners in: heart, melody, and the feeling that each song is part of our own story.
