About the show:

It only takes 4 to put a nickel in a premodern jukebox of sweet vocal harmony.
The Vintage Vocal Quartet brings the big band era to life by singing while swinging on piano, guitar, bass and trumpet.
The group's repertoire is inspired by groups like Glenn Miller’s Modernaires, the Nat King Cole Trio, the Andrews Sisters, and Tommy Dorsey’s Pied Pipers, as well as singers like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jo Stafford.
The VVQ has been delighting concert audiences, lindy hoppers, and swanky private events all over New England. They have performed with the Boston Pops, the Melrose Symphony and the Cape Symphony as well as the Capitol City Jazz Orchestra. If you love vocal harmony and swing music, the Vintage Vocal Quartet has your number!

She has performed with the Portland Symphony and has her own R&B band. Taylor teaches voice at Berklee College of Music, Bowdoin College and the University of Southern Maine.
David Thorne Scott plays bass and sings the alto part. His jazz album “Shade” was chosen as a top 5 CD by the Jazz Education Journal, while Cadence Magazine says “he phrases like a saxophone player and is as slippery and hip as the young Mel Tormé. He has performed as a soloist with large ensembles like the Boston Pops and the Capital Jazz Orchestra and small groups like the Four Freshmen. David plays piano and sings original music on his pop/jazz crossover album “Hopeful Romantic,” produced by Platinum award-winner Anthony Resta.
Adam Gautille plays trumpet and sings the tenor part. He studied classical trumpet and voice for his undergraduate degree from Baylor University in Texas, then studied music performance at Boston University. An avid competitor, Adam has competed and placed in the finals of many national trumpet competitions as a soloist, ensemble member and as an arranger. He has played with the Boston Pops, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Vermont Symphony, while working as a music contractor, singer and guitarist.
Paul Pampinella plays guitar and sings the baritone part. He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston and a veteran vocalist, arranger/composer, and clinician with two highly successful a cappella ensembles: Vox One and Five O’Clock Shadow. Paul has written, arranged and produced songs on nine CDs between the two groups, which have performed with the Boston Pops and Aaron Neville.

A Listening Room Experience

Hermit Woods is excited to bring talented artists from New England and beyond to perform for you. Each performance will provide you with an intimate, up-close, and personal experience with the performing artists. We ask our audience please refrain from talking during the featured show. Your silence will allow the artists and the audience to immerse themselves in the experience, which is not otherwise possible in larger, noisier environments.
