Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..full calendar.. ..myspaceGcal v.1.0.. .... ..Bio:.. .... Raised on a steady diet of 90's Grunge, Video Game soundtracks, Jamaican Ska and Reggae, Vic Wong seemed like an unlikely candidate for a gypsy jazz guitarist. However, after seeing Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown and the Django's Legacy documentary, he became entranced with the music of Django Reinhardt and decided to give it the good old college try. .... Early on, Vic considered disfiguring his left hand to match that of his idol, but was coaxed out of it by concerned friends and family. Instead he focused efforts on growing a moustache, which was met with limited success. His Chinese heritage allowed sporadic facial hair growth at best. Cursing his luck and faulty genes, all seemed lost. But under guidance of HCSF alumnus Louis Matthee he focused his efforts on a new concept: "practicing the guitar"..... "It was a huge revelation," Vic remarked. "Who knew that playing like Django Reinhardt involved more than just trying to look like him. I'd say this whole 'practicing the guitar' thing changed the course of my career.".... Vic has performed with numerous groups in the bay area including the Very Hot Club, Anouman, Gaucho, the Gypsy Kidz, Melody Parker, Duo Gadjo, Satori, Hot Club of Marin, Tin Cup Serenade, and the Strange Manor Family Band. He performs regularly with Johnny Bones Palace of Jazz, Emily Anne and the Hot Nuts, Regina Pontillo, Trio Panique, and the Soul Captives.
