Biography
Some Info About ...
JOEY VINCENT
Joey Vincent has been
performing professionally, in both classical and popular music, for over
thirty years. He has played throughout the United States, Canada,
Europe and Russia, including such venues as Carnegie Hall, the
Philadelphia Academy of Music, and Toronto Symphony Hall, and has earned a
BA in Music from Temple University.
Although he began his musical training in classical trumpet, by the time
he began college Joey Vincent knew he wanted much more. After two years,
he left college to go "on the road" with a professional show, returning
after a year to continue his studies and work his way through college by
playing with local show groups. It was here that he discovered he had an
ability to sing, do impressions, and make people laugh. "It was a Walter
Mitty existence - I was a mild-mannered college student by day, but at
night I could turn myself into anything I wanted to be!"
After graduation, he threw himself into performance full-time, touring
throughout the USA with some of the top show groups in the country. He
continued to hone his skills, until by 1991 Joey Vincent felt he was ready
to put together his own one-man show, blending comedy, impressions,
singing, dancing and trumpet playing into a first-rate musical
entertainment experience. As he puts it, "I can't think of a better way to
go through life than to do something you love to do - and to make other
people happy at the same time. Nothing feels better than to leave the
stage knowing you did your best, and that the audience knows it, too!"
