Frank Vignola performed with Vinny Raniolo last night in Clayton, NC at the Clayton Ctr. Frank has impeccable technique, and Vinny is a rock-solid rhythm guitarist providing a backdrop for Frank's blistering solos. The playlist was a little too "safe", even Frank summarized, " a little rock, a little folk, a few standards, a little classical, a polka"...but admittedly, it was not necessarily a jazz crowd. They played approximately 2 hours, not including intermission, and they were out in the lobby during intermission and after the performance...Frank is a natural showman, Vinny a little more reserved; while probably necessary to make some of the music more approachable for some, IMHO the "schtick" and "choreography" detracted, rather than added to the music...Clayton Ctr. is about 20 miles from Raleigh, with good seating and friendly staff.
