About Me |
|
| My Dad bought me my first guitar for my 12th Birthday and I was immediately obsessed. The Beatles had just landed and I couldn't put it down. I wrote my first song at 19 and since then I've pretty much had one going at all times. I've been doing demos since the early 70's. I cut a local record in '76 in Maine. I made a living doing a solo lounge/bar act thru the 70's in New England and eastern Canada until my early 30's at which point I got a 'day' job and played in a few original bands in the Boston scene . . . always recording, I was involved in several demos throughout the 70's and 80's . . . . . I came to California in '90 to pursue a songwriting career and became a Christian, at which point I pursued the Lord and started writing and playing worship as well as writing Contemporary Christian material. I've had the joy of leading worship at 3 different churches in Southern California and have had the pleasure of leading worship at a couple years worth of Youth Camps. I've put my efforts for the past 2 years into 'Kingdom of Conscience.' Listen to some cuts and let me know what you think . . . Bottom line: God be Glorified!! . . . . Thanks and Blessings . . .

Music:Member Since: 10/19/2007Band Website: vinicontreas.com Band Members: Vini Contreas: Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica / Brad Cummings: Bass / Frank Reina: Drums / Willie Murillo: Trumpets on "Christ Crucified" Influences: Almighty God, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Peter Paul & Mary, The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Boston, Tom Rush, Peter & Gordon, James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, Elton John, Bob Tomaselli, Steve Reibstein, Charlie Major, Suzi Contreas, Hank Williams Sounds Like: Vini's music in this collection is thematically 60's folk, Dylanesque. Although 'The Invitation' could be considered Acoustic Alternative and 'Christ Crucified' is Americana Mariachi with a righteous message and Beatles-like background vocals, songs like 'His Truth', 'Give It All To Christ', & 'Let Him In' as well as other cuts, are true to the Folk tradition. Bottom Line: God be Glorified!! Record Label: Beautiful Gate Productions Type of Label: Indie |
