Born and raised in Brooklyn New York, Vinnie started playing guitar when he was twelve. His love of music kept him involved in bands throughout his High School years playing acoustic and electric rock and blues , and even a little country. Even during his stint in Vietnam he kept a guitar back at the base to entertain himself and his fellow troops. Vinnie played many clubs in Manhatten and the five burroughs before moving up to the Lake George area in 1986. He took a break from music to raise his two sons with his wife Jude. In 1998 he decided the time was right to get back into the groove and play his first love , which was the blues. He then formed Deja' Blue. The band has made great strides since it's conception in August of 98'. The band has played in and out of the capital area , up north as well as into Vermont. They have also appeared on local television and radio. His trademark left handed guitar and unique slide guitar playing has led the band to many special events including the prestigeous Glens Falls Blues Festival. So stay tuned and keep your eyes and ears on Vinnie and the band. There is plenty more to come.
