Vin Mott

Vin Mott has been a musician all his life. Growing up in North Jersey, Vin was involved with every musical class offered throughout middle school and high school. After high school, Vin went on to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where he graduated with a Bachelors Degree of Music focusing on Songwriting (class of 2011). He found himself playing drums in a rock band called Rack Em Lets Go which toured extensively on the jam band circuit in the North East US. In 2013 Vin moved back to NJ and formed his own band (as the lead singer/harmonica player), the Vin Mott Blues Band, and began booking gigs at every bar and venue that would have him. While heating up on the local circuit, he also began booking national tours around the country playing extensively in the South and also in CA and all over the North East. Vin released two full length original albums under his own name, Quit the Women For The Blues (2017) and Rogue Hunter (2019) both of which received national and international radio play, reviews in top blues publications, and landed him high profile festival gigs.Today, Vin is still hustling as a band leader/singer/harmonica player, booking tours, recording his own original blues music, and building a reputation for his authenticity, vintage sound, and entertainment chops. He also freelances as a drummer, mostly working with blues, rockabilly, and swing groups around the North East. In January 2020 Vin relocated to Austin, TX to continue to grow as a blues artist.
