Vinnie... I always wanted to play guitar when I was real small but,due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn't learn until I was eighteen. I grew up listening to country, but found the guttural appeal of rock 'n roll much more to my liking. I am a proud Veteran (combat, even) of the United States Navy and as such, didn't pursue music closely from 1986 to 1992.
I took up playing again when I returned to South Carolina, not really landing anywhere in particular until 1997, when I helped found The Big S Band. In 2004, I auditioned for The Oath/Party of Four and got the gig. I am now a member of a band I've been a fan of since 1994! I love playing music, especially live. I truly dig the interaction with the crowd and the total release of all of life's little tensions.
