"You can't buy a good time, but you can hire me and improve your chances." – Vince Vance

New Orleans-based Vince Vance & the Valiants are the "Number One Rock n' Roll Show Band in the World." Since 1971, they've performed over 6,000 concerts in 13 countries and 34 of the United States, most notably at the White House for the Annual Easter Egg Roll, in 1994 and '95.  The Valiants still average around 100 dates a year, mostly private functions.

In January of 2005, they were featured at the Louisiana-sponsored Inaugural Ball honoring President Bush in Washington, DC. In June of 2005, VVV was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

Vince Vance is the co-composer of the Number One Christmas Song in America: "All I Want for Christmas is You" (not to be confused with the Mariah Carey song of the same name). His song has become a seasonal staple and has been recorded by many artists including LeAnn Rimes and Sammy Kershaw. He has recorded and released 16 albums and 24 single recordings.

A consummate entertainer and quick-change artist, Vinnie's fun show never fails to include lots of audience participation. The Valiants' show contains Vinnie's own songs and his favorite hits of Rock and Roll -all in a wacky musical history performed all over the world year in and year out.

Vince Vance is an entertainer through and through, a creature whose DNA predisposed him to show business. Still, the singer, keyboardist and songwriter with The Heat Miser hair is amazed that his career has endured for four decades. “It seems almost impossible that I have done this with my life…Always gave ‘em a smile. Always a minute more and not less..”
