Born in Bayonne, New Jersey, guitarist and songwriter Chris Vincent spent a lot of time sorting life out with his fists. Although it taught him much about life, he benefitted from his family moving when he was thirteen. Monroe Township, New Jersey served a more peaceful setting, conducive to creativity. And it's where he picked up a guitar and began to play. His present day choice of blues wasn't his first inclination. The energy of punk music spoke to the aggression that remained within him. Moving toward jazz and blues, Robert Johnson and Son House eventually replaced The Ramones. And tuning in open G meant he would have to create his own fingerings to suit these styles. Over time, Chris has become a seasoned storyteller whose occasionally cryptic lyrics have at times stared him in the face and confronted him. In part one of our interview, he spins a great tale, playing examples of his notions on guitar for us all to hear. Join us as this roots music pioneer draws us inside his mind.
New album Good Crook dropped August 1st!
