About Me

Hailing from Michigan and now in Birmingham, Alabama, this fok/alternative/acoustic guitar/vocalist/songwriter decided to stay down in the sweet south and be inspired by the Magic City. Vic Trip loves the South. Releasing his first CD in 1998 Delusions and Insight in Traverse City, Michigan along with other great musicians. On a snowy day Vic Trip ended up like a dream in the South and does not want to go back to the cold.Every Thursday you can catch Vic hosting open mic at Stir Crazy in Homewood. His band plays usually between 10:30 and 11:00. Check out our upcoming gigs and in the future Trip's next album (in process) Reverse Osmosis will be released.Rock on Birmingham. Maybe we'll finally get noticed with the likes of Reuben, Bo and Taylor coming from here.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
