vinny rivera + Musician in Lehigh Acres, FL

ABOUT

THE VIDEOS ARE OLD... They range from 2011 to 2016... Doesn't matter... I STILL ROCK!

I am available 24/7 in the Ft Myers/Lee County area... Call or text at 786 362 0671 ... Did you get that? ... 786 362 0671... Please do me the PROFESSIONAL COURTESY of a call back if the gig is gone... Don't be a moron, like a few right here on BANDMIX...

I have been called on to play many last minute gigs, because I know hundreds of cover tunes AS THEY WERE RECORDED, and the good Lord has given me the ability to pickup a new song on the fly... A 20 year military career has given me the discipline to do hard work...

I've performed with many bands, all styles. I have gigged in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, Germany, Italy, England, Denmark and South Florida... I am looking for something steady in the Fort Myers area. I play bass in the "pocket" mainly, and I can swing on guitar as well. CHECK OUT THE TUNES!... These oldies were recorded live (with all the blemishes) with Roscoe Peterson (GUITAR & VOCAL) and Mark Laughlin (DRUMS)... Joseph Galioto (GUITAR) and Jeff Doty (DRUMS & VOCAL)... Tommy Love (VOCAL) Jimmy Piro (GUITAR) Jimmy Jack Tamburo (DRUMS)...Dave Seaman (GUITAR & VOCAL) and Mark Demarzio (DRUMS) I am on the BASS & VOCAL...
