What do you get when you cross a hummingbird with a roadrunner? We don’t know, but we’re pretty sure it can’t keep up with Gill. As laid back as he appears, Vince is especially busy these days, speeding from picking to performing to producing records for other people.

Here are a few projects that carry his musical imprint:
