  • Bio

    Aurum nostrum non est aurum vulgi! - Our gold is not the gold of the masses! Our fans are special and our music is Different! We've been on the circuit for a while but there's nothing old about us. We continue to add new and interesting sounds and songs to our ever swelling empire of recordings and covers. Civilized Natives were founded by Glenn Vignolo in 1994 and are, 13 years later, a vital group distilled to its essence and a Pensacola institution. They are an award winning band with a nationally released CD, Closing In. Released in spring of 2000, Closing In features track after track of hook laden songs featuring the vocal and instrumental performances that are a hallmark of Civilized Natives. The group's live performance features a set list culled from the last 50 plus years of Rock and Roll. Songs from the Beatles, Alanis Morissette, Chuck Berry, Evanescence, Janis Joplin, Bob Seeger, The Eurhythmics, Eric Clapton, Fastball and Roy Orbison stand side by side in a dynamic performance that recalls Rock's past and looks to its glorious future. You can also visit us at our official site: www.civilizednatives.com ______________________________________________________________________________ *The Natives are capable of producing the complex choral and instrumental arrangements from Closing In in a live setting even as a trio. It is our intention to play anywhere and everywhere we can and build a fan base that will eventually help us quit our day jobs. We look to the future with hope that our sound which is new, yet familiar, will be the right sound at the right time to garner airplay and to further our careers as songwriters and recording artists. Our purpose musically is to bring back production values, song craft and a sense of grandeur and emotion to a music scene filled with cookie cutter boy bands and American Idol contestants. Along the way, we'd like to leave people who see us live with the feeling that they witnessed a rock event. It is our hope that people come away with the knowledge that we love, live, and breathe the music. In the case of some, our music has already become part of the soundtrack of their lives. For that we are eternally grateful.

    GLENN VIGNOLO, THERESE (FLORIAN) VIGNOLO, ROBERT HAMMAC, GREG FINK, CHRIS HOLDBROOK, MIKE MADDOX, MIKE ANTOINE,BARBARA BELVIN. GLENN VIGNOLO - 2nd grade school talent show He sang for my first audience of 300 people, and was addicted. He took on various talent shows and choirs, worked on his vocal ability, and at 12 was introduced to two things that set him on his path: "The Beatles" and the guitar. He had already been writing poetry for a few years, so the idea of putting music to the poems intrigued him. He taught himself, and eventually became dissatisfied with lead guitarists who it seemed more interested in the "hair metal" bands. He began crafting a melodic sound, inspired by Eric Clapton. He took matters (and a Fender Stratocaster) into his own hands and became a lead guitarist. He wrote "Pale" in 1991, and made a primitive demo on which he played all instruments. He developed his arrangement and instrumentation. Then Crosby, Stills, and Nash and the production and songwriting of Electric Light Orchestra became another part of the foundation he built his world upon, and the heartbreak and longing in Roy Orbison's voice inspired him to pour out his own feelings. In 1994, he acquired a four-track recorder and began demos for what went on to become Civilized Natives. The sounds of the Beatles, ELO, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Eric Clapton's guitar came together to form a new sound all it's own. This rock and roll heartbeat is built on the dreams of a 12 year old boy who found in the Beatles the inspiration to strap on an electric guitar, step into the spotlight, and sing what his heart told him to. Musical Influences: The Beatles, Crosby Stills and Nash, Electric Light Orchestra, Roy Orbison and Eric Clapton Favorite Quote: "The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not mov'd with the concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons stratagems and spoils…let no such man be trusted…" -- William Shakespeare THERESE (FLORIAN) VIGNOLO - Vocals /Perc./Acoustic Guitar ______________________________________________________________________________ Therese started singing at the tender age of four when her Great Uncle, Father John Licari requested that she sing for the celebrities at St Anne's Round Up in Pensacola. She then performed in talent shows, fund raisers and in school plays. She then began listening to Phil Collins and The Bee Gees, where she refined production and craft. At age 13 she sang Schubert's "Ave Maria". She then took the club scene and sang with many artists including her Uncle, John Licari. She was influenced by Patsy Cline, who gave her a sense of the dramatic in music. She also heard Celine Dion whose vocal power helped her find her own voice. She then crossed paths with childhood friend, Glenn Vignolo. Together, their voices fit like a glove. He played Civilized Natives music and she fell in love. They started duo shows up until the point she was invited into the band. On August 12th, 2000 Therese and Glenn were married. Therese's power and soulful, gutsy growl, coupled with an ethereal quality that makes her unique among singers, bring brings versatility, experience, and zeal to her craft. Musical Influences: Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Roy Orbison, K.D. Lang, Patsy Cline, The Beatles, The Bee Gees and Vince Gill. Favorite Quote: "…and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make…" –Sir Paul McCartney- ______________________________________________________________________________ Robert Hammac- Song writer/Vocals/Percussion/Congas ______________________________________________________________________________ Robert started singing harmonies with records at the age of five. Elton John and The Beatles were his first memorable influences as a boy. His parents influencesd him as well with the sounds of Motown and other legends. After his mother caught him singing into the end of the vacuum cleaner she knew his destiny. He was part of one of the first karaoke venues that started in Pensacola in the early 90's called "OH Karaoke," owned by Mr. Fred Hayes. He used to sing with his friends out at the Seashell on the boardwalk because Mr. hayes thought "it would draw people in." In school he was with Escambians and PJC Chorus group. The first time he performed in front of 200 people, he was hooked. He has since become a prolific songwriter. Musical Influences: The Beatles, The Scissor sisters, K.D. Lang, Roy Orbison, George O'dowd, Billy Joel, Beck, Bjork, Radiohead, Marvin gaye, Nat King Cole, George Michael, Elton John and Queen. Favorite Quote: "The doer does the things he dreams whether great, or small, but the dreamer dreams of things to come that never come at all." -R.D. Hammac ______________________________________________________________________________ Greg Fink- Bass/Banjo/Various ______________________________________________________________________________ Greg has an inifinity for Bass. There is NO ONE who gets more excited than Greg when he is playing, and the groove is just right. He comes from a musically and politically inclined family. His brother, Wil Fink is a well known local musician, and they both are a hurricane of entertainment when they play together, or play with anyone for that matter. Like all of our musical family members, Greg is a valued player in the game, and his friendship and musicianship are one of a kind. No one can miss his energy as he hops up and down on the stage, and brings a vitality to a performance that is filled with the love and enjoyment that is a critical ingrediant to a band that wants to excite, ignite, and entertain! His unstoppable banjo picking is a secret weapon that when unleashed, creates a refreshing and unmatchable living art that cannot be denied. Musical influences: TO BE POSTED Favorite Quote: TO BE POSTED _____________________________________________________________________________ MIKE MADDOX - Drums, Percussion, Vocals Mike Maddox is a skilled, creative, and charismatic drummer who has been playing for many years and has played with a number of bands in the regional area. He is an out- standing percussionist who is able to play to the dynamics and likes of Queens Roger Taylor to The Whos Keith Moon. He attended and graduated from Milton High School in Milton Florida in 1995, and then attended Pensacola Junior College from 2001-2003. He is Currently a lucky husband, a proud father and a Youth coach of football in Tiger Point. Mike adds something special to the sound and to the atmosphere of the Natives with his playing style, and his charm and sense of humor.
