Reverend Vince and the Love Choir
REVEREND VINCE ANDERSON - Keyboard - Born in Fresno, California, Vince moved to New York City in 1994 to study at Union Theological Seminary with the intention of becoming a Methodist minister. The Reverend lasted three months in seminary, before sensing a new direction to take his music and message to where the people were – into the bars and clubs. He promptly started holding weekly “services” in New York’s Lower East Side and in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; which have now been an NYC institution for over 20 years. In addition, he serves as a musician at two churches, Bushwick Abbey and Citylights Community. The Reverend calls his music, “Dirty Gospel”, a term reflecting both his musical influences and his theological perspective.
