Reggie vinson biography

Chatting with Valley musician Rockin’ Reggie Vinson is like taking a tour of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, with side trips to Nashville, Las Vegas and Hollywood.

The guitarist and singer-songwriter has performed with and befriended many legendary artists over the years. His recent biography "Still Got a Song in Me: Looking through the Eyes of a Rockin’ Life" details his adventures with some of the biggest names in the entertainment business.

Vinson, who grew up in Detroit, was born with music in his genes. He’s the nephew of Minnie Pearl and the cousin of Pat Boone. It was another relative, however, who helped him find his passion. “My mother, Lillie, taught me a few guitar chords when I was 12, and a dream in my heart was born,” Vinson says.

His first break was landing a gig in Chuck Berry’s backup band at a concert in Columbus, Ohio, in the late 1960s. The rock legend had different groups accompany him at Reggie vinson transformed!
