"Chatelaine - Top Ten Men To Watch"

Vince Vaccaro
MTV is buzzing about Victoria, B.C.'s Vince Vaccaro and for good reason. The 28-year-old Montreal native has got the looks and the stage presence to be our next big musical export. Despite his uncanny resemblance to fellow Montreal rocker Sam Roberts, Vaccaro has a sound that's all his own – a combination of folk and psychedelic rock with strong melodic vocals. Vaccaro's self-titled full length LP hit stores this April. Click here to download a free track from the album.

"The Buzz On Vince Vaccaro"

The Canadian border that separates Vancouver from Washington State is slimmer than you might give it credit for. In fact, it’s arguable that grunge started in Vancouver when one of its most famous sons, Neil Young, moved his flannels south to California. No matter what the origin, that grungy out-West attitude has been ping-ponging between Seattle and Vancouver for ages, and producing extraordinary musical results along the way.

Vancouver’s latest contribution to the woodsy-rocking world is Vince Vaccaro, a Canadian longhair with ties to hometown hero, Sam Roberts. Forever in Chucks and a bandana, Vaccaro builds new-school classic rock ballads out of heartbreak guitars and his unstoppable voice. The soaring, heartfelt results are as much Snow Patrol as they are Journey. Sounds pretty irresistible, right? Well, it is. Get familiar with this charismatic Canadian on his website, watch the acoustic performance video after the jump and spread the word!

Bio

Since the release of his self titled debut album in March of 2009, Victoria BC's Vince Vaccaro has been capturing the ears and hearts of many, with performances at CMW '09, New York's famous Mercury Lounge, JunoFest, The Artist Sanctuary, The Commodore Ballroom, Big Time Out, Rifflandia Festival, and a short tour with Bedouin Soundclash.

Produced by 5440 front man Neil Osborne, the record is backed by a trusted and traditional rock sound in the vein of Tom Petty, Pearl Jam and Ryan Adams.
With a band at the ready, Vince often choses to perform solo, with only a guitar to lean on, exposing the heart of his lyrics and melodies. “Playing live is always a different deal for me. Sometimes I have a band, and sometimes its just me and a guitar- I don't know what I like best, but its so good to have my friends up there with me. The songs are the same either way, I guess its like two separate colors.”

"Forever in Chuck Taylors and a bandana, Vaccaro builds new-school classic rock". His ballads, in particular, feature "soaring, heartfelt moments that are as much Snow Patrol as they are Journey. Sounds pretty irresistible, right? Well, it is". - MTV Buzzworhty

His latest single to hit the air waves on the West Coast is a sure fire nostalgic road trippin’ song entitled Costa Rica.

“I love to travel and be everywhere and nowhere all at once- staying in one place and having a routine is hard for me. Costa Rica is about leaving that whole rhythm and getting out and away from everything”
