Americana singer-songwriter Vince Vanguard has always loved music, in fact, his given name is Eric Plein, named after Eric Clapton. His father took him to his first blues concert for BB King. “Blues music’s idea of the struggle of the spirit, and letting those feelings out always resonated with me,” he says.

He has always wanted to release his own solo album, but never focused on himself and focused on others music as he owned his own recording studio and production company. Only after his career took a hit due to his overindulgence did he finally take the leap and create his own record, 'Spirit Blues,' to be released later this year.

He just released his 3rd single from 'Spirit Blues' called "Broken Bones." It's an anthem-like roots rock and blues rock song that has a Jackson Browne familiarity in both his voice and sound. The song grapples with the feeling of hopelessness in himself and society as a whole, while also acknowledging resilience. He sings with purpose in lyrics like "Left to die on the side of the road/Nothing left to show/But these broken bones and busted soles/I didn’t see you coming/I didn’t hear you calling/And I fade."

"Broken Bones" features an all-star cast of Colorado based musicians, including Adam Deitch (Lettuce, Break Science, John Scofield), Garret Sayers (The Motet), Marcus Rezak (Shred Is Dead, Digital Tape Machine) and Bill McKay (formerly of Leftover Salmon, Derek Trucks Band).
