Sounds Like
The Jimi Vincent Band. We like to play with plenty of solo space and with high energy. Picture in your mind aggressive guitar, both in rhythm and solo, along with a screaming B-3 and a strong bottom end. Some say the Hammond is sometimes like having a horn section doing stabs here and there.
Both Jimi and Sam have strong voices that lean toward the gravel side of life, each with their own unique style.
Formed in 1989, The Jimi Vincent Band plays rockin' blues. The rattle the rafters and treat their listeners to an explosive musical experience.
