Vince Rossi
St. Louis native, Vince Rossi has been an active
musician since 1973 when he first took up the guitar.
Having grown up in a musical family, Vince was
influenced at an early age by his aunt and uncle; Mary
Burns and Russ Bono who were well known throughout
the St. Louis music scene in the 70s.
During high school, Vince spent a lot of time jamming
around West County with the Nickeson brothers;
Tommy, Eddie and Bobby (RIP) also with Steve
Hendrix and Rick Kiefer. He formed his first band with
Stu Massey, Marty Perry, Ray Moody and later joined
forces with Tom Shay (RIP). Other notable "jam"
buddies were Jim Hosack, Steve Lennarts, Brad
McCabe (RIP) and close friends ECHO; Mish
Nakazono, Steve Withington and Mike Marxer.
Having moved to Florida, Vince wrote and recorded
songs with Bill Mugavin and formed a power trio
"Crossfire" with Rusty Fohner and Mark Stantz between
1983-1986. Vince then moved to Izmir Turkey where
he played in the pop rock band "Ram Express" through
mid 1987.
Vince relocated to the Dallas Texas area and played in
a multitude of cover bands to include "Cheap Charlie",
"Stiff Richard", "Uncle Remus" and "The Weeds". In
addition, Vince played in an all original band "RSVP"
with Rusty Fohner, Steve Rossi and Philip Perser
which won the 1993 Texas Rock & Dream Discovery
contest, promoted by Guitar Center and the T.J. Martel
foundation. The band recorded "Mortals of the World"
co-written with local legendary Texas guitar slinger
Paul Lathem and played a recording industry showcase
at Prince's club, The Glam Slam in Los Angeles.
In 1997, Vince built and operated Dallas based
recording studio "Plymouth Rock". The studio recorded
demos for a vast pallet of genres and produced notable
recordings for "Reverend Horton Heat", "Aftonshack"
and "Edgewater". Vince also worked at the well known
"Nomad Recording Studio" on a multitude of sessions
including "Edgewater", "Micheal Harris Project" and
Metal Blade Records' legendary metal band "Merciful

Vince moved back to the St. Louis area in 2004 where
he joined the band "Reckless Endangerment" for the
next two years, which eventually morphed into
Uncle Fester. With his strong Audio Engineering
background, Vince redirected his efforts into "live
sound" and has been running sound regularly for
bands; "Jam Central Station", "Plastic", American
Bleach", "The fashion", "Whitney Screams",
"Meet the Cleavers" and others. The desire to play out
again has led Vince to the newly reformed Jam Central
