NYC-based singer-songwriter Vincent Poag has just released new music. Undeniably the most moving collection of songs released to date by Vincent Poag, his new album Masquerade is a timely and timeless body of work that includes twelve songs. Spanning across multiple genres and yet staying coherent to his folk-oriented artistic direction, this LP embodies the spirit of the genre’s pioneers like Bob Dylan, an artist mentioned by Poag while he explained: “I’ve been influenced by many great artists but Bob Dylan inspired me,” shares Vincent Poag.
Vincent Poag was born and raised in Massapequa, Long Island and received his first guitar at the age of eight years old. Being born in the 50’s exposed him to the Broadway musical era, a time the new generations can only dream of. As a young man, Poag witnessed the birth of a new breed of artists; the singer-songwriter. Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Randy Newman are some of the artists that have influenced Vincent Poag’s creative process. Vincent Poag was reborn.
The master storyteller and composer of magically beautiful melodies is starting the new year in the most ideal way with the release of the album Masquerade, a highly recommended LP for all music lovers in search of a heavenly listening experience.
