Episode 04 - Vic Horvath

Staccato

Let’s find out why by following the rabbit hole down into the influence of early blues singers like Mildred Bailey and Robert Johnson with singer-songwriter and recording artist - Vic Horvath. Perhaps the owner of Vinyl Envy put it best when he said: “Once somebody’s kind of into the blues, they’re there, like they may not come out for awhile.” In this episode, we learn how Vic got curious about early rock & roll music and how she dug deeper into where it was coming from. She talks about the role confidence – or no confidence plays in being a musician and some of the challenges she’s faced, like: “it’s difficult standing up in front of people and just kind of baring it all for them.” Vic also explains what making it in the music business means to her. Having a good teacher in the early stages of your career is critical for the development of a young musician and Vic talks about the influence of an early blues mentor who just took one look at her and said: “you don’t want to go the paper route, do you Vic?” Vic’s teacher also gave her this advice: “…you have to sacrifice a lot in relationships and in time and really dedicate yourself if you want to be good.” Vic clearly took those early lessons to heart and continues to passionately dedicate herself to her art. We’ll also hear a great track from her new album, ‘West Coast Reign.’ So, when you're lookin' for some sweet soul soothin' guitar bluesin,' give Vic Horvath a listen!
