Vince Vigil
Vince Vigil (you can call me Vinnie on stage)
Grew up in Denver, CO
My main instrument is bass. 5 string musicman, 4 string fretless, and Ampeg Baby Bass.
I have played rock, blues and funk in the 70s and 80s, Chicano bands in the 90s, and in the 2000s I played in theater productions, many of which had music written and directed by Daniel Valdez. From there I started the group Jazz del Barrio and performed at the Winter Park Jazz festival and the Taste of Colorado.
In 2011 I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where I played with blues bands, cumbia bands and salsa bands. I moved back to Denver in 2016 and started the Barrio Funk band. I moved to California in 2017 where I am reforming Barrio Funk in the Bay Area.
I have performed with recording artists Daniel Valdez, Gary Farmer and the Troublemakers and the Micky Cruz band.
