VIC SERBE - Bass Guitar and Vocals
Vic is a self-taught player, starting out in garage bands playing Rock and Roll with friends. Later, he was introduced to Jazz and fusion, where he spent many formative years learning about music theory and playing in everything from ad hoc jazz combos to college big bands on both electric as well as upright (string) bass. In the 80's, he spent many years playing in cover bands in the Central Illinois circuit. In the early 90's, he took about a 10 year break to start a family, but when the kids got old enough, music called him back. He returned to the cover band circuit, playing in Third Wish, Postwar Fords, and most recently, Late Arrival. His primary musical focus is locking in with the drummer and creating a solid, powerful, and undeniable dance beat.
