The period of the 1960s and 1970s was a decade rich in music with many genres, including jazz, funk, pop and rock. During the 70s, other styles became popular in America, like disco and reggae. Songs in the “groovy 70’s” era, as it was often called, became engraved in the history of music. Rock ‘n’ roll and Psychedelia was the biggest craze among the audience and holds an esteemed position in people’s hearts across the globe even today.
Vintage Vinyl plays music from the 60’s and 70’s. These songs were well known in their time and have really left a mark. We bring you a blast from the past: all the best music which will bring back many pleasant memories from the past.

Fair is the story of the notorious murderess, Laura D. Fair, who shot and killed her lover, Alexander P. Crittenden in broad daylight off the coast of San Francisco in 1871. Laura’s trial was filled with scandal when the prosecution positioned themselves against any woman with power and turned the court proceedings into a widely publicized morality play. Fair, is an ensemble developed play, created over two years, that uses actual court testimony from this once famous case as well as letters between the two lovers on the brink of despair. Through both comedy and tragedy, Wishbone aims to take you on a journey through the life and heart of Laura D. Fair.

“The Get Right Band are the type of performers that you just know will break out. Their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a very happy place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.”
-The Huffington Post
The Get Right Band is a psychedelic indie-rock power trio from Asheville, NC. They are a band focused on following their muses to honest self-expression, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory. The Get Right Band proudly carries the torch for a long line of genre-bending power trios from Cream to The Jimi Hendrix Experience to The Police to Violent Femmes to Primus to Green Day to Nirvana to Sublime. It’s the space between the notes, the rawness and the maneuverability, that makes a power trio, well, so damn powerful.
“An ass shaking good time.”
-Relix Magazine
The Get Right Band’s career highlights include shows with Everclear, Rusted Root, Dr. Dog, Smash Mouth, Ozomatli, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Victor Wooten; appearances on NPR’s World Cafe and Nashville’s Music City Roots television show; and performances at major festivals and venues including FloydFest, StrangeCreek, Riverbend Fest, The Orange Peel, Brooklyn Bowl, and The Hamilton.
“I love this song!”
-Marc Maron, of WTF podcast
The band is built on the musical brotherhood that guitarist/vocalist Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, has guitar chops that can soothe or rage and a charismatic swagger as a frontman and a singer. “Durocher has an impressive range and rich clarity to his vocals—think a more soulful Dan Auerbach” (Connect Savannah). Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). With the addition of Jian-Claude Mears, a drummer with “precision, passion, and an inescapable momentum” (Live For Live Music), the group’s sound has become an unstoppable force. They have been wowing audiences around the country and the Caribbean since their inception in 2011 with an unparalleled live show and a relentless tour schedule.
“Tight and diverse jams and a distinctive, intellectual but accessible worldview.”
-Live For Live Music
