Step Into the Dream: Vidas Bareikis Debuts „VB by the Sea”

Step inside Vidas Bareikis’ intimate world of music and emotion, hosted at Native South Studios in Westlake Village, where cinematic melodies, poetic lyrics, and immersive performance collide in an unforgettable debut experience.

This Thursday, October 9th, 2025, Native South Studios becomes the setting for a deeply personal and immersive musical journey as Lithuanian artist Vidas Bareikis unveils his newest project, “VB by the Sea.” Vidas Bareikis, a multi-talented musician, actor, composer, and theatre director, has spent years shaping a singular artistic voice that blends story, music, and emotion into experiences that linger long after the performance ends.

“VB by the Sea” is more than an album – it’s a dreamlike exploration of human emotion. Picture a barefoot pianist at a grand piano, theatrical makeup catching the soft studio lights, and a voice that drifts between intimate confession and ethereal storytelling. Each song reflects moments of life observed, imagined, or deeply felt, combining indie electronic textures with subtle hip-hop energy and cinematic swells. His debut album, „Here and Now”, was born on the road across the U.S., coming to life through collaboration with producers, singers, and rappers in Philadelphia, and capturing a sound that is at once familiar, distant, and wholly immersive.

The evening is hosted by Ieva Georges and Jonathan Smith a.k.a. TheRealJonSmith, owners of Native South Studios and Native South Recordsin Westlake Village. Native South Studios is earning its reputation not only as a professional music recording and podcast studio, but also as an intimate micro music venue in Westlake Village, California.
