Vince first joined the Stone Merchants as an accompanist on the song, "White Line" from the "have another blue juice, mister," CD. After a number of performances with the Merchants and the Ancestors, the band members and audiences alike became entranced with the earthy drone only a didgeridoo can bring to the mix. He has been playing regularly with both bands since the beginning of 2002.
Vinnie has made the journey to Australia - where he acquired many of his prized didgeridoos during a year down under. His Aboriginal friends took him to the bush. Vinnie counts among his influences: Stephen Kent (San Francisco worksop 1999); Dr. Didg ( bloody good live performances); and Ganga Giri.
His extensive collection of instruments includes numerous didgeridoos and a variety of traditional percussion instruments. At the end of any performance, Vince is the most likely to be surrounded by curious audience members.
