Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent will play his first concert in 30 years this December 7, an intimate acoustic gig at the Guest House at Graceland hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. The concert will feature Vincent performing songs by KISS and his old band the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, as well as telling stories.
Robert Fleischman, who fronted the Vinnie Vincent Invasion from 1984 to ’86 and also briefly sang with Journey during the ’70s, will make a special guest appearance at the concert. Visit VinnieVincentLive.com for more details about the gig.
Vincent had been out of the public eye for more than 20 years until he began making appearances at several KISS fan gatherings and other events this year. Prior to the Memphis concert, Vinnie will take part in the Chiller Theatre Toy, Model and Film Expo in Parsippany, New Jersey, scheduled for October 26 to October 28. He also will participate in the KISS Kruise VIII pre-party event, The Gathering 3, on October 29 and 30 in Miami. Vinnie will be on hand to meet and greet fans both days at a local Holiday Inn, and he also will join the band Four by Fate to perform two songs on the 30th at Miami club The Hangar.
Vincent was a member of KISS from 1982 to 1984 and contributed to two of the band’s albums: 1982’s Creatures of the Night and 1983’s Lick It Up. He played with the group when KISS famously began performing without makeup for the first time in their careers.
