James Vincent The American Standard Band

The American Standard Band was founded by James Vincent, in the fall of 2002. James Vincent {lead vocals, acuistic guitar, and harmonica} was joined by Mike Caron(lead guitar}, and the quest began. Writing songs was the first priority, along with learning alot of cover tunes. James Vincent recorded, with the help of Mike Caron, two original songs as a solo artist under the name Vince Perrone, For a talent competition called The Colgate Country Showdown. He won The regional competion, and was asked to help open a show at the Venetion festival,in St. Joe, Mi. for Phil Vasser. This was a great honor, and he earned himself a fan base. Unfortunatly, his succes at the state finals fell short, comming in second place, he vowed that he was just getting started. Shortly after that, J.V. and mike were joined by bassist, Spencer "Big Daddy MaGhee" King. They practiced day and night, and went on the hunt for a drummer. This was a long and winding road, filled with lots of letdown and dissapointment. For some reason, a good drummer in this area was extreamly hard to find. However, one was found and we began to jam. Playing from Mishiwaka to Kalamazoo, The band has sharpened and honed their skills. Unfortunately (getting back to the drummer sagga),We lost our first drummer, and was forced to go on the hunt again. About five or six drummers later, the search is over. Mr. Wil Harvest is now sittin and holding the backbeat down for the band. Where do we go from here, sky's the limit. So if you like high energy, kick up yer boots, and kick you in the rear ,down and dirty country music then chances are, you're gonna love us.
