The Zone FM is proud to present New Music West Festival 2008: Vince Vaccaro, Jon and Roy and Acres of Lions at The Media Club

Vince Vaccaro is an artist based in Victoria, British Columbia. Born in Montreal, playing guitar since the age of eight, and completely self-taught, Vince has been writing music for over ten years. Playing a timeless brand of rock that lies somewhere between folk and psychedelic, the singer/songwriter is humbly presenting his debut EP as a window into the new direction he is taking this year. “The recording is one dimension, or one perspective; hearing and seeing it live really brings it to life. I want to share in the live music experience with everyone who wants to come along for the ride.” In the past year alone, Vince & his band have impressed audiences with performances at Vancouver’s New Music West, Victoria’s ICA FolkFest, and Music BC’s Get Outta Town tour, while sharing the stage with such notable acts as Jets Overhead, Armchair Cynics, and Tal Bachman. Most recently, Vince Vaccaro was featured on MuchMusic’s Going Coastal series for Much Does Victoria 2006. Vince Vaccaro’s EP is currently available on Apple iTunes and online at CD Baby.

Jon and Roy play acoustic music. They enjoy playing music, especially when it goes from concious thought to something else altogether.....new album is being officially released in the early spring, old album is named 'Sittin Back.' If desired either can be purchased on this site or through other means. It was recorded in a friends downstairs studio.... Best enjoyed outdoors or in a small setting. love and peace

Acres of Lions
As most young, broke and starving musicians are aware of, these things take time.
For the last year, Acres of Lions has been in a state of contemplation, decision, revision and repetition. The process of writing good songs as opposed to bad ones and finding dedicated people who are willing to give it their all and stick with it was not at all easy. What most young musicians are ALSO aware of, is that it takes dedication and a good work ethic to make it work.
