Today, Vince is a heavy-hitter on the Denver Blues scene. With his husky, heavy voice and his powerful command of the craft, Vince has everyone whispering, holy sh*t this guy’s legit all show long. He has a distinct sound - a pure, straight-shot tone that travels through the room, leaving audiences hypnotized. He leads the way from slow blues to full funk jam and back again- building up the energy with untouchable guitar solos and adventurous musical detours, breaking it down again. Blues lovers longing that deep, Southern sound will not be disappointed. Vince can take a swinging crowd to a hushing halt when the slide hits the strings.
