About Me

"Vince & the Vipers" play all sorts of acoustic music, Country, Rhythm & Blues,old Jazz standards....We first got together 1999, and have been playing regularly ever since...In response to all the negativity in the world, we like to provide a positive diversion by playing happy "good times" music.The three songs that are on this page are originals, I wrote "Lost in Kings Cross" In 1980 while I was living in that part of Sydney (the night-life capital of Australia)."Mullumbimby Grass" I wrote in 1982, I was lucky to find Mullumbimby in 1972 it has been my home ever since."Sweet Mary Jane" Steve, & Brian, & I share credit on this one about our mutual admiration of that "weed".... . aside from a couple of charity gigs a month, We are now, officially AVAILABLE!!!.
