Bob Vincent aka Jerseybob
For those of you who have been lucky to be charmed by his rich voice, poignant lyricsand melodic harmonies need no introduction to this extraordinary and talented musician, but for those who still feel unsure whether its worth to abandon the couch for....
He has played in some great venues, up and down the country. That means South Island too, including Stewart Island. Bars, cafes, clubs, pubs, streets, house concerts, gardens, beaches, floating pontoons, bowls, ferries, stages, you name it, Bob probably has done it. He regularly amps the crowd at the Mussel Inn, Oneka, a legendary venue with some legendary local brew and home to the Captain Cooker, down in Golden Bay. I think he has a standing extended everlasting invitation by the owner!
He has shared the limelight in NZ with Luke Hurley (NZ artist featured on the 'Insatiable Moon' sound track), Panda (USA), Midge McCleary (NZ) and Stu O'Connor (UK). All favourites on the live music scene. NZ-landers have seen Jerseybob play and perform his music for the last 10 years and steadily he has built a group of faithful followers. Some so dedicated, following in his trail to the next stage.
Jerseybob has his own unique style, fusing folk inspired tunes with his quick witted tongue. A blend he has stamped as Folkcomedy. His songs tell tales, from here and from far far away. Tales of love 'Simple Love Song', death 'My Mum's Mum', age 'Wish List', an old house 'This Old House' and living by the sea 'Ebb and Flow'. He is a man with a gentle soul and he shares his truths so openly and trustingly. His fingers run up and down the familiar fretboard 'McCleary's Womb', as if on a mad coffee rush, pulsating to a deep earthy rhythm, or they just dance ever so gently 'This One's for Nibs'. You get more than just a regular guy playing guitar nicely, you get a vibe, a heartbeat, a moment you definitely want to be part of.

His wife Monika has now joined him on Cajon and adds a driving beat to the acoustic sounds. She also adds a much more attractive look to the worn out troubadours weathered face..
