Vince Lombardo
Born in a Chevrolet, in East L.A. ~ Not
really! From his Italian heritage, (and Dads middle name of
GUY... Named after Guy Lombardo. Vince was weaned on sharps, flats,
majors, minors, and greatly influenced by his
parent's Pentecostal Church. The Church was
always JUMPIN' and JIVIN'... nobody ever fell asleep at
that Church!! There was quite the band, drums with all the
trimmings. Piano lessons at 6, guitar lessons at 8, Vince
was doomed. From studio work in the 60's to touring New York
State, Canada and performing with several bands. Vince's biggest
high was playing with the RAT PACK, Frank Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. Greatly
influenced by Mom's Hammond B3, and Dads kickin'
Trombone, Black Gospel, Jumping Blues, Jazz, and Rock, Vince
is always striving to play the best dance beat, warmest
tone, and sharpest chops he can deliver. It's all
about TASTY feelings. Vince loves to see people dance, and
moving their heads to the beat of River
City's music.
That's what Vince is talkin' about.
