Last night I was lucky enough to photograph Vince Vaccaro’s first headliner at “The Venue” in Vancouver. I only shot the first 3 songs, but he put on an absolutely amazing show. His friend and fellow islander Scott Stanton from Current Swell opened the night with a foot stomping acoustic set. Mr. Vaccaro joined in backing him on the harmonica before taking the stage with his band a few minutes later. He absolutely rocked the face off of the sold out show. I know of his folksy acoustic music from The Peak 100.5′s Peak Performance Project, but as I found out, there is certainly more to Vince than summertime acoustic guitar tunes. An action packed set left Vince turning up the electric guitar and jumping off sub-woofers, proving that while often “laid back”, this islander certainly also knows how to rock.
