One of the fundamental ingredients of a successful and memorable occasion is tasteful, live music. Mickey Vendetti has been providing good time entertainment for special occasions for over eighteen years.
Vendetti boasts a sound mixture of a bit of Sinatra, a dash of Elvis, the country sounds Hank Williams to Garth Brooks, Rock & Roll from the 50s and 60s, and right on up to the Black Crows, John Mellencamp and Clapton.
A keyboardist and singer, Vendetti started playing rock music in 1960 as one-half of the Mickey Duo along with drummer Mick Tancredi. Before long, guitarist Pete Procopio joined the act, which changed its name to The Three Tones. Soon a saxophone player was added.
“That made us more of a party-type band,” Vendetti said. “We’d play everything from Frank Sinatra to the Rolling Stones, and we still do.”
Vendetti played the accordion since he was 10 years old; when he was 14 years old he was playing accordion at a neighborhood bar, learning old songs.
“I used to sneak out my bedroom window. My mother never figured it out until she stopped in there and saw me. That was the end of that.”
Vendetti has performed as a solo, in a duo, in a trio, and in a ten-piece band.
Mickey Vendetti and the Goodtime Band is a versatile and entertaining group playing a variety of dance music for all ages and occasions. For over 20 years, the band has performed at area clubs, wedding receptions, and the New York State Fair.
The Mickey Vendetti Band consists of keyboards, sax, guitar, bass, drums, and vocals by all members of the band. M.V.B. also includes Italian, Jewish, Irish, Polish and other ethnic dances in our repertoire, along with all the formalities and Grand March if desired.
Vendetti has received rave reviews over the years. Many of them boast about the upbeat tempo and good time the band provides.
Vendetti earned honors as a young star in the 50s as a kid singing in cabarets. He remains a class act today with an ear for the chart-topping hits of the modern era.
The good timers get you up and moving. Known for their successful gigs at weddings and private parties, Vendetti appeals to listeners young and old.
Vendetti knows how to rock and, although he’s all about having fun, he doesn’t mess around. From the first drumbeat to the last guitar solo, the band never lets up on the intensity of the show.
Vendetti emphasizes how he provides a crowd-pleasing atmosphere. “The crowd is always different,” Vendetti explains. “But the key is knowing your audience.”
Vendetti also boasts of his experience with weddings. Over the years, the band has provided the music for literally hundreds of weddings. “Some of the weddings are even children of weddings that we’ve done in the past,” Vendetti says.
Vendetti is extremely excited for his upcoming venue. He is celebrating his golden anniversary and plans to do so in style. “I want the world to know that I’m still around,” Vendetti said. “Please come and remember what the band has always been at the anniversary bash.”
Even though Vendetti is semi-retired he explains that he still gets bored and has to get out and do things. This anniversary bash is all about getting out and getting the crowd going again.
Vendetti has released six albums. Most are available at his venues and on his website at mickeyvendetti.com.
“We’re still going strong and still doing our thing,” boasts Vendetti. His music is live music with the personal touch and they cater to anyone’s budget.
