Vinny was interested in guitars from a very early age. Ever since he heard his grandfather play tunes like "I'm Going Back to Jersey" and "When I Get You Alone Tonight" on an old Kay guitar, he's had it bad. His pride and joy is a Martin D-35 acoustic that his father gave him for his sixteenth birthday (thanks again, Dad). Vinny has played in folk groups for many years  where he has learned to appreciate all kinds of guitar music. He continues to play guitar and bass at folk mass at St. Joseph's Church in Bogota. His rockin' side came out early in College where he played concerts, folk fests and was a member of Sly John and the Sick Puppies.

After moving to Bogota he met the boys in the band. He's always been lucky to be around talented musicians. From DR B and the Interns to early influences from John Cassone, Paul Cassone, Andrew Macchio, Gene Eames, Kevin Makuta, Grace Scotto and Rick Martin.

Vinny loves guitar gear and currently alternates between a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul Jr Special. He's currently restoring a '68 Fender Telecaster and plays gigs through a '73 silverfaced Fender Deluxe Reverb.
