Vincent’s powerful, soulful voice has long drawn admirers such as Bob Harris, Paul Carrack and Mary Chapin Carpenter. In 2016, Harris named him Emerging Artist of the Year at the inaugural UK Americana Awards, calling him ‘absolutely magnetic’ and ‘the real deal’. Two years later, following the release of I’ll Make The Most Of My Sins (AMAUK Album of the Year 2018), his performance on BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test: For One Night Only propelled him to number 1 and 2 in the iTunes Album and Singles Charts. His third LP, In This Town You’re Owned, further cemented his reputation. The album won AMAUK’s Album of the Year (2021), earned Vincent Artist of the Year, reached number 2 in the UK Americana Charts and was named by American Songwriter as one of the top 20 albums across all genres in 2020. On stage, Robert Vincent continues to enthral as both a solo performer and with his band. Recent notable appearances include official AmericanaFest showcase in Nashville, before joining Robert Plant & Saving Grace on tour across their UK & European tour. Celtic Connections at Glasgow Theatre Royal with Mary Chapin Carpenter, showcase performances at AmericanaFest in Nashville, supporting Roger Waters at Hyde Park, and tours with Robert Plant, Paul Carrack and Duane Eddy, who gifted him a signature Gretsch guitar after his 80th birthday show at the London Palladium. “The moment he started to sing I knew that this was something special” ~ Bob Harris OBE “Barriers is a masterful album that blends introspection with musical sophistication, cementing Robert Vincent’s place as one of the UK’s finest songwriters. His music, deeply rooted in personal and social narratives, continues to resonate widely, securing his place in the pantheon of great Liverpudlian artists” ~ Entertainment Focus
