Vernon Neilly award winning guitarist and actor (Along Came Polly,
Starsky And Hutch, Walk Hard) is certainly not a stranger to lots of
media attention, and it seems like this trend is not going to let up
anytime soon. Vernon is currently featured in one of jazz's most
respected magazines Jazz Improv Magazine, where he gives a detailed
interview about his amazing new CD honoring the "Master Blaster'
Stevie Wonder, his influences musically, his mentors, and what he
feels about the current state of the music and entertainment business.
Vernon Neilly & Friends "A Tribute To Stevie Wonder" which features
other highly respected artists from 3 continents has been reviewed as
one of the most diverse works of the catalog of Mr. Wonder, as it
includes hits like "Superstition" done in a heavy rock format, "Boogie
On Reggae Woman" done is a rocking guitar instrumental format, "Sir
Duke" in a brilliant pop vocal format, and other classic hits done
musically like they have never been heard before. Vernon says "If you
are one of those people who like's to hear music that sounds the same
from track to track, then this CD is not for you, because it covers a
fast spectrum musically. It's very entertaining". Vernon was also
honored recently by being asked to do an interview in India's oldest
English speaking publication "The Statesman", which has been in
circulation for 133 years to a readership of more than 500,000 per
issue. This interview also talks about the Stevie Wonder project, but
in more detail, Vernon also talks about the type of gear that Vernon
uses for recordings, and live performances, and the companies that he
endorses. When it rains it pours literally, Vernon is also featured on
the front page of the world leading guitar pickup maker, the Seymour
Duncan website. Vernon has proudly been a loyal Duncan endorser for
many years, stating "they are family".
