Kyle Vincent spent the best years of his childhood in Amherst, Mass so it’s no surprise that once the pop singer-songwriter successfully launched his career from the west coast he would return to the picturesque Pioneer Valley in New England to put down his roots. Vincent burst onto the music scene in 1997 with a Billboard Top 20 Hit from his eponymous debut album on Hollywood Records. Since leaving L.A., the singer with “pipes of pure gold” has carried east the songwriting torch of the classic storytellers of his youth (John Denver, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce and others were major influences) while revitalizing the genre with his own contemporary production and topical lyrics. Even soft pop icon Barry Manilow is a fan, calling Vincent “one of the best singer-songwriters to come along since the heyday of Tin Pan Alley.” The multi-instrumentalist, producer, record company owner, and ardent environmentalist is currently putting the final touches on his tenth career release (eighth as a solo artist). He is also booking clubs and intimate living room concerts throughout the U.S. to promote the upcoming release.
