If you havent heard of Vicky Tafoya and The Big Beat, then you need to get with it! Vicky Tafoya has got to be one of the most wonderfully talented singers around. Along with her powerhouse band of musicians, The Big Beat, you know your in for a hell of a great time. Vicky Tafoya has probably got to be the best kept secret in the Rock n' Roll, Rhythm n' Blues scene. Vicky has been singing for years, almost exclusively at Doo Wop shows, entertaining countless nunbers of people. Vicky has played to many different audiences, from a few hundred in a club setting to over 6000 at the Universal Ampitheatre. Vicky has mostly been singing exclusively for Doo Wop shows in recent years, but now has put together a great band of her own and is headed your way to tear it up a little! Vicky Tafoya has worked with Big Sandy on his solo album "Dedicated to you" and worked with Mike Ness (Social Distortion) on some unreleased material. Besides playing with The Big Beat, She also sings in an Acapella Doo Wop group with none other than Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Revue. Another extremely talented group of individuals. Now Vicky and the boys have put out their First release for El Toro Records "Meet The Beat". This six song EP just barely captures the Soulful yet Powerful vocals of Vicky(to do that, you need to see her live). This EP also includes that Internatinal hit "Lover Blues" written by Vicky and her husband, Vince. So you know you need to get a copy for yourself, and anyone else who digs good music! "If you've seen her once, you'll never forget it. That has been my experience with everyone, everytime, her name comes up. Combine fire and vocal strength of the Rhythm & Blues and Doo Wop greats of the 50's and 60's and the subtlety of the 40's diva's, and you have Ms. Tafoya. Along with her group The Big beat, you're in for the unique kind of soulful performing that is all too rare nowadays" Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Review
