Chris Vincent Says Bye-Bye Bayonne Hello New Orleans
The Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation will present acclaimed Louisiana singer-songwriter-slide guitarist Chris Vincent back to New Jersey (he grew up in Bayonne) on Dec. 5 at The Chubby Pickle on Bay Avenue in Highlands. The following afternoon he will host a blues-guitar master-class at 2:00 at the Women’s Club of Red Bank on Broad Street. Students of slide and blues guitar are invited to bring their ax and even their amp as well as their notebooks and pencils as Vincent is looked upon as one of the foremost exponents of New Orleans soul-funk-blues-rock.

Good Crook, by Chris Vincent & The Raw Deals, is on the national blues charts. With just drummer Johnny Vidacovich and bassist Dean Zucchero (who will be with him at The Chubby Pickle), his Delta Blues leanings coincide with his early electric blues muse to create a jump-blues fusion of Western Swing, Boogie-Woogie and Rock’n’Roll.
