2010 has started well for “Victorian Entertainer of the year” 2006 Rodney Vincent . His latest album “By Request” features a song written by ABC’s Coodabeen Champions , Greg Champion “Bit of Dirt Never Hurt” which he also recorded with Greg as a duet . In February this year the song got to Number 18 on the National Country Music Charts , receiving a lot of airplay all around the country .
When Rodney approached Greg looking for songs for his new CD , Greg gave him this catchy little country rock tune that really hit a chord with him . One of Rodney’s philosphy’s in life is “you gotta have a go” and as he always says , you have to throw a few punches (not violently!) and you never know one might land , and this one did , with a National Chart success .
This Year Rodney also had a Tamworth Songwriters Association Nomination with a song he co wrote with Allan Caswell Called “How Beautiful you are”.
Rodney’s one man show “Music Memories and Madness” is just that , full of fun , laughter and song . Being around “a year or three” , as he puts it , his variety entertainment goes from country , all time favorites , comedy to rock and roll . I love the audience to feel they are apart of what I do , so anything can happen , and it usually does , from start to finish there is something for everyone and the reward is the smiling faces at the end .
Year in year out he spends 6 to 8 months of the year on the road touring something that takes him away from his family a lot , but his genuine passion is his love of performing . That’s what makes it all worth while , the joyride he gets when he hits that stage and the fun begins .
Over the years Rodney has toured with many great performers , but none more so than one the most unique voices in the history of rock and roll , the late great American legend Gene Pitney . Not only did he do 5 Australian tours with Gene but he co wrote and recorded 2 songs with him , with the legend’s voice doing the harmony’s , something he is very proud of .
Rodney will be appearing at…………………………………………………..
