Brad Vickers & His Vestapolitans!

Meet Brad Vickers & His Vestapolitans!

Guitarist/songwriter Brad Vickers learned on the job playing, recording, and touring with America’s blues and roots masters: Pinetop Perkins, Jimmy Rogers, Hubert Sumlin, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Odetta, Sleepy LaBeef, and Rosco Gordon—to name only a few. Brad cut his teeth backing up these elder statesmen. He had the good fortune to play on Pinetop Perkins’ Grammy-nominated discs, “Born in the Delta” (Telarc), and “Ladies’ Man” (MC Records).

Now his own group, The Vestapolitans, offers a good-time, crowd-pleasing mix of jump, blues and great American roots ’n’ roll. They were warmly received at the 2024 Clinton Blues Festival, the 2021 Blues Bash at the Ranch Festival and at the 2023 Bucks County Blues Fest. Past performances include headlining the 2017 Thouars, France Blues Fest, Bucks County Blues Picnic, PA Blues Fest. Their 7 great CDs have met with terrific reviews (Downbeat gives them ****½ stars), “Best Of” lists, and great radio play. Most important, audiences love them!
