Gothic Theatre
Vince Herman
If you have ever spent any time with Vince you know that one web page is certainly not enough to capture his true persona. Vince has the unique ability to play nearly any song you could possibly request on guitar and if he doesn’t know the lyrics he will spontaneously combine rhyming lines that are as good and sometimes funnier than the original tune. His genuine love for music and people has awaken many a festavarian across our nation.
Vince was raised the youngest in a family of nine near the steel mills of Pittsburgh, PA. His grandfather spent 30 years working in “40 inch coal”. Vince enrolled at the University of West Virginia and had many out-of-classroom hysterical experiences. He graduated with honors from the National Hysterical Society and later moved his own chapter to Boulder, Colorado.
In 1989, Vince started a band called the Salmon Heads and by 1990, Vince combined forces with Drew from Left Hand String Band to create Leftover Salmon. Vince and his cronies have been integral in spreading the significance of festivals and the art of anahuacing as a significant part of the American heritage experience.
