Today on the show I'm speaking with Scott Siskind and Jason Cohen of Vinny Vegas. Vinny Vegas is a 5 piece rock band from Baltimore, MD. The band has self-released three critically acclaimed E.P’s and self-booked and funded many tours. Scott and Jason have been writing music together for some 14 years now, and I’ve known these dudes for a long time and they are some of the hardest working people I know.
We get into:
- How they’ve adjusted during the pandemic, working, teaching, composing
- Music as self-care
- Their origin story, how they met and started writing together
- How being in a band helps grow you as an individual
- Horror stories on tour
- The importance of community and mutual support
- The trap of chasing external validation
- Why they play music, what really sustains and drives them
- And much more!
Being in a band myself, I always looked up to these guys like older brothers. It was a lot of fun to sit down and talk with them.
