VTA

VTA is acoustic guitarist Vincenzo Thomas Amato and saxophonist Seth Hall, a duo that opened for South Shore’s Lavish Green since 2005.  “We will play originals and covers and feel-good music,” Amato told Tahoe Onstage.

In February, Amato moved back to his hometown Reno after nearly four years in Los Angeles, where he had a club called the Salvage Bar. Amato played Thursdays at the Salvage with the band Acoustic As Folk, which included Pink Floyd saxophonist Scott Page VIDEO, Slightly Stoopid trumpeter C-Money and Beastie Boys percussionist Alfredo Ortiz. Amato formerly had a band called Super J, which toured with Fishbone and Sublime. And he is the person who put Lavish Green trumpeter Chris Sanchez onstage with Fishbone for a recent benefit concert in Hawaii.
