Josh Boyd, the front man of the VIP Band, has been thrilling crowds regularly in and around the Toledo, Ohio- area and has been featured at Buddy Guy’s Legends and Kingston Mines in Chicago and at musical festivals in Ohio, Michigan and Canada. In addition to regular appearances at clubs, festivals and fairs, Josh has opened up for renowned artists Edgar and Johnny Winter, Rick Derringer, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Kansas, Dave Mason, Canned Heat and Charlie Daniels.
Josh was only a mere 3 years old when he picked up the guitar for the first time and over the years his artistry has matured through the influences of performers including Johnny “Guitar” Watson, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Albert Collins. But don’t be confused, this is no copycat gunslinger. His playing is pure Boyd, a style all his own. Once you see him you’ll ask yourself, “Where has this guy been hiding?” This is one band you don’t want to miss.
From down-home blues to superfunky dance tunes. He plays the music his way 100% of the time. The band features the driving, blood pumping drum work of Charles Gaston and Junior Springs holds the sound together with his peerless machine gun bass work. The VIP Band has a formidable stage presence. They deliver excitement and always leave the crowd breathless for more. This little package is as powerful as dynamite!
