Founded in 1997, the Tony Vega Band has become one of the premiere independent ryhthm & blues acts in the world. This hot Texas act has forged their own brand of red hot ryhthm & blues infused rock n’ roll. Making the band’s sound especially unique is Vega’s relentlessly soulful guitar work and one of the most unique velveteen voices to come out of Texas in years. The hard driving, hip-shaking rumble is powered by longtime TVB drummer Jeremy “Honeyboy” Pierce and seasoned Gulf coast blues veteran Larry “Lownote” Johnson. Find out what the buzz is all about!TVB Highlights: •Successfully toured over eight European countries from 2001 to present. •Tastes Like Love reigned at #1 for two months on Europe’s Crosscut Blues Charts. •Two tracks from Tastes Like Love resided in the Living Blues Top 20 Radio Charts. •Houston Press Music Awards: “Best Blues” – 2001, 2002, and 2004. •Winner of 2006 Memphis Blues Society Blues Challenge.Press ReviewsBlues Revue "Must be something in the Lone Star state's water - where else do so many sizzling acts make their home? ...'Yeah You Right!' shows what the buzz over the Tony Vega Band is all about."Texas Blues Magazine "Vega's first-rate voice and terrific lead guitar and tone has recaptured that classic Texas Blues sound and made it exciting all over again."- Billy F.
