Rodney Vincent was born in Wangaratta and spent his teenage years growing up in the town.
He was voted Victorian Entertainer of the Year in 2006 and has been inducted into the South Australian Country Music Hall of Fame.
Long story short, he’s your complete entertainer and caters for everyone.
And on New Year’s Eve, music lovers from across the north-east will be headed to Wangaratta’s Da Vinci Club to see his show.
It is a blend of country music, comedy, old-time favourites, rock and roll and storytelling that cannot help but make people laugh.
His journey has taken him from his first paying gig in an old-time dance band at his local hall to some of the biggest venues, clubs and theatres in Australia.
He has toured and been a special guest with The Delltones, The Four Kinsman, Col Elliott, Lucky Starr and American rock and roll legend Gene Pitney.
Rodney was a special guest on five Australian tours with Gene, and wrote and recorded two songs with him, something of which Rodney is very proud.
Along with his shows, Rodney hosts holiday tours all around the world, taking in Canada, the United States, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Vietnam and the Cook Islands.
For Rodney, there is no better time to return to his home town and catch up with locals and enjoy their company.
Just recently, Rodney was honoured to have a number one song on the CMR FM independent top 40 chart in Tasmania, with a cover of ’60s classic Speak to the Sky.
It is a gospel version, with the talented Lisa Edwards as special guest.
A fun show is what Rodney delivers, and there is no better medicine than to see people laughing, smiling, dancing and enjoying themselves.
So, if you haven’t seen one of his shows, here is your chance to enjoy New Year’s Eve at the Da Vinci Social Club.
Doors open at 7.30pm. Tea, coffee and supper is included in the ticket price.
