Vince Allen started playing music when he was ten years old and his Mom bought his first drum set. After spending his early teenage years banging away to a radio in a basement buried deep in Atlanta, Georgia's suburbs, he played in a string of high school punk bands.

Then he played in a string of college dropout punk bands.

Then he stopped playing in bands altogether.

Determined to get out of that basement and re-inspire his desire to play music, Vince moved to New York City and started playing guitar. There he discovered that those years of singing over a drum set and blaring radio had paid off. He could hear himself sing, and it wasn't all that bad. Now Vince is playing venues around New York City realizing he should have done this a long time ago.

Mixing acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and a jazz rhythm section with melodies rooted in traditional Southern folk and bluegrass, Vince's "Hypno Honky Tonic" sound captures what is beautiful about where he comes from, and what stirred him up and moved him away.

Vince appears on stage with his band, The Evil Reds: Bob Parins on pedal steel guitar, Danny Zanker on upright bass, and Vinnie Sperrazza on drums.
