2009 - Guillaume Vincent was born in Germany in 1978 and moved to France at age 3. At 12, Guillaume learned to play the guitar from his father, who was once in a band.
Two years later, Guillaume moved to Montréal, Canada with his family. In Québec, he was part of a few different bands, playing everywhere he could find in the city. Soon, he left Montréal for San Francisco. For the next 3 years Guillaume travelled from California to Vancouver to Guatemala, playing his and others’ music. After returning to Montréal to study, he began his own project which involved recording demos, playing concerts and taking part in contests.
To make ends meet, Guillaume worked in hotels, bars and advertising agencies. After each straight job ended, he came back to his real passion: music. He wrote his first album during 2005 and 2006 and found the money to record it. Les Bombes was released in June 2007.
With an album out, Guillaume got noticed. He won a grant, a contest and participated to the 2008 edition of the FrancoFolies.
He's just finished to record the new songs with his new band mates Bertrand Chaillou and Louis Souverain, who play bass guitar and drums, respectively.
The newest songs reflect the spirit of the “rootless,” those who are on the road and in a strange country. However, the message is a surprising one of hope for the oft-travelled. Deftly mixing folk, rock and world influences, Vincent’s new tunes integrate a range of instruments from lap steel guitar and ukulele to banjo and acoustic guitar. It's full of surprises musically and in its meaning. It reminds us of who we are by telling the stories of where we’ve been.
Now more than ever, Guillaume Vincent believes in the artistic direction of the band and is ready to play.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 -
Profitant du souffle chaud qui précède la tenue de l’édition 2008 des FrancoFolies de Montréal où il se produira dans le cadre de la série Nouvelle chanson, l’auteur-compositeur-interprète montréalais Guillaume Vincent lance un premier album explosif dans l’univers musical québécois.
Après avoir roulé sa bosse un peu partout dans le monde et s’être fait la main sur les scènes des bars de la métropole durant plusieurs années, Guillaume Vincent débarque avec une plaquette saisissante d’humanité, dont les puissantes métaphores jettent un regard inquiet et amer sur les hommes, que viennent adoucir d’intenses moments d’introspection.
Résolument rock et porté par la voix chaude aux inflexions soul de ce voyageur de la vie, l’album « Les Bombes » fait résonner le lapsteel, la guitare classique et la guitare électrique, et déploie les influences folk, blues et gitane que le franco-québécois d’origine allemande a glané au fil de pérégrinations du Nord au Sud de l’Amérique.
Le lancement de l’album « Les Bombes » sera l’occasion de découvrir la fougue, l’intensité et la tendresse de Guillaume Vincent accompagné de batterie et de basse. « Les Bombes » est distribué sur CD par Outside Music, et par voie numérique par Believe/Local.

Ciao Guillaume Vincent ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.
Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.
Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.
Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?
Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo. Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano. Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.
Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.
Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.
Felice Anno Nuovo. Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie. Suonate il blu
