Show Notes
Austin pianist Andrew Vineski is the embodiment of modern vintage and self-confidence. Many artists these days will tell you their sound is inspired by a bunch of obscure musicians, or that they’re modernizing an existing sound. But I like a good subversion, and in the current state of new music, owning a love for the classics is a breath of fresh air.
Vineski revels in the sounds of the Beatles and Radiohead, the widely different piano stylings of Billy Joel and Keane, and, like the classically trained pianist he is, Rachmaninoff. On his new single “Today,” he brings in some strings to deepen the beautiful melancholy the song possesses, written about Vineski losing his father to cancer when he was 13. That said, this deeply moving tune has a soft-glowing candle in the corner: the sentiment that being gone from this plane doesn’t mean there won’t be a rendezvous on the next.
The Andrew Vineski Trio plays each weekend at Cheer’s Shot Bar all summer long.
