About Me

Vince Smith - Singer/Songwriter

From the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan comes a tall, lanky southpaw with a voice that will blow you away and songs that will get stuck in your head. His simple style and powerful writing and hooks will suck you in and never let you go. All you have to do is listen and you'll understand.
Vince Smith is a singer/songwriter that plays solo acoustic shows, as well as sitting in with other local musicians in the Detroit area. He plays guitar as well as bass guitar and has an amazing and powerful voice that has a great range and a soulful conviction that brings warmth and depth to his performances.
"Music is a visual medium live, but anybody can get famous now no matter how they look because they don't show videos much any more. The song is the thing... if you can write a song that people can relate to and that is melodic enough for radio, your work is done."
Vince also loves Texas Holdem!
Here's his poker website!
