Frank Vignola Trio

Join us Friday, May 9 at 7:30 pm at the Kennedy Heights Arts Center Lindner Annex for an unforgettable night of extraordinary musicianship and world-class acoustic performance as internationally acclaimed guitarists Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo take the stage with legendary bassist Gary Mazzaroppi. This special concert is part of a two-night weekend of performances in Cincinnati, with an additional show on Saturday, May 10 at the Irish Heritage Center.

With over 1,000 performances across 15 countries, Frank and Vinny have earned a global reputation for their expertly arranged selections, dynamic energy, and musical chemistry. Whether performing at the Sydney Opera House or Lincoln Center, this celebrated duo brings new life to songs spanning centuries—from Bach and Beethoven to Gershwin, The Beatles, Sting, and more. Their blend of spontaneity, showmanship, and technical mastery creates a concert experience that’s both fun and soulful.

Joining them is jazz veteran Gary Mazzaroppi, a seasoned bassist known for his long-running collaboration with Les Paul and performances with jazz greats like Stan Getz, Marian McPartland, and Lionel Hampton. Gary’s expressive style and rhythmic finesse bring depth and dimension to the trio’s sound.

Expect a night of standout performances, fresh takes on familiar songs, and good vibes all around as the trio blends classical influences with jazz, pop, swing, and flamenco in a way that is entirely their own.
