}}The Welcome Wagon is a Gospel/indie pop band from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.[1] The group consists of Presbyterian minister Thomas Vito Aiuto and his wife, Monique.[2] Their debut album, Welcome to the Welcome Wagon (2008) was produced by Sufjan Stevens.[3][4][5]

History

Vito Aiuto heads the Resurrection Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, which he started in 2005, and is based at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.[3][6] Both natives of Michigan, Vito studied literature at Western Michigan University before moving on to Princeton Theological Seminary, while Monique moved to New York to study art and works as a preschool teacher.[1][7]

Their first released music was on the 2001 compilation To Spirit Back the Mews.[7] The groups's 2008 debut album, Welcome to the Welcome Wagon, featured major involvement from Sufjan Stevens, who recorded, engineered, mixed, and contributed vocals and various instruments to the album, as well as designing the artwork, and it was released on Stevens' Asthmatic Kitty label.[3]

Second album Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices followed in 2012.[8]

The group's music was described by Allmusic as a "hybrid of contemporary folk, gospel, and indie pop".[7]
