Vaughn and Co.

 http://www.newartistradio.net/artist%20list/rock/index31.htm#VaughnandCo

Vaughn and Co. is a recent addition to the original music scene in the Midwest and soon will be playing throughout the entire country.  Spun from the previous band known as Element, while based out of Cincinnati, the current lineup has been together since late in 2004.  As a 5 piece, many different musical styles and experiences are demonstrated within the music.  Virtually every venue in Cincinnati has seen one of the members, if not the whole lot.

Ronnie Vaughn, the band’s founder, now has his talent appearing as fresh and inspiring as it ever has.  In Vaughn and Co. he has taken his song writing and lyrical talents to a whole new level.  His continuity of creativity has left a wake of loyal fans throughout the years that continues to grow.  Brandon Glanton joined up with Ronnie three years ago while working in their previous project Element.  Playing a variety of percussion instruments as well as the the drum set on some tunes, he rounds out the rhythm section that cannot be filled with just drums and bass. The addition of lead guitarist Rob Vargo added the missing harmonic and melodic dimension to compliment Ronnie’s vocals and rhythm guitar playing.  You’ll probably never hear Rob play any tune the same way; whether it’s just in the way he fills the space during breaks in the vocals or if it’s a lengthy featured guitar solo.

My Mom is doing better holding her own. The visit to the old home town was really strange you forget so many things over the years or it’s just old age sitting in. I got to see a tons of things I had not got to see in years. Mom I love you.
