ABOUT BRAD VICKERS:
Guitarist/songwriter Brad Vickers learned on the job playing, recording, and touring with America’s blues and roots masters: Pinetop Perkins, Jimmy Rogers, Hubert Sumlin, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Odetta, Sleepy LaBeef, and Rosco Gordon—to name only a few. Brad cut his teeth backing up these elder statesmen. He had the good fortune to play on Pinetop Perkins’ Grammy-nominated discs, “Born in the Delta” (Telarc), and “Ladies’ Man” (MC Records), and ‘Pinetop Perkins & Jimmy Rogers, Genuine Blues Legends’ (Elrob) has been nominated for a 2017 Blues Music Award. Now his own group, The Vestapolitans, offers a good-time, crowd-pleasing mix of Blues and great American Roots 'n' Roll. The band played at this year’s Bucks County Blues Picnic, Pennsylvania Blues Festival, Easton, PA Garlic Festival, and will play at the Thouars, France Blues Festival this spring. Their 5 great CDs have met with terrific reviews (Downbeat gives them ****½ stars), “Best Of” lists, and radio play. But Most important, audiences love them!
