Vincent Zorn
Multi Instrumentalist, composer, producer
Blending Rumba Flamenco with Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Gipsy influences, Vincent Zorn's sound has been likend to a combination of Nouveau Flamenco Artist's Ottmar Liebert, Jesse Cook, Willie & Lobo, Rumba Super-Group The Gipsy Kings, & Legendary Flamenco Guitarist Manitas De Plata.
Self taught from the age of 11, Vincent Zorn draws his original playing style from the roots of Flamenco, Jazz, Middle Eastern, & Bossa Nova.
"As I am mainly a guitarist, my compositions are rooted in that instrument. However, melodically, I think my playing stems from more of a singers perspective. Guitarists can get very wrapped up in the technicality of the instrument, forgetting that the the basis of any great song lies within the melody. I compose with this in mind. That is why my compositions generally feature very simplistic melodic themes rather than complex melodic passages that focus on the mechanics and technicalities of the guitar."
As co-founder and co-writer of Flamenco - Dance band
lastcaravan (1997-2000), Vincent Zorn has toured extensively throughout California playing Large outdoor Festivals such as: The California State Fair, Bill Graham's Mountain Aire Music Festival, The High Sierra Music Festival, The Bear Valley Music Festival, The Chico World Music Festival, and every restaurant, coffee shop, club, & college in Northern & Southern California - from Humboldt to Hollywood.
Currently you can find Vincent in Santa Barbara, California were he lives and performs.
