MODERN VINTAGE

On February 13, 2006, Tom Pollard had a 50-year-old birthday party. It was an open jam at a little bar in Affton. That day, he, John Vullo, Andy Waibel, Ryan Sielfleisch and Josh Stieren first played together. Little did they know that 2 years later they would become Modern Vintage…a classic rock covers band, with a heavy influence of Southern Rock, Blues and some real “vintage” music. While the younger members (Modern) bring some of their more contemporary musical influences, it balances out with the songs of the older (Vintage) song selection. On Labor Day of 2007, what was briefly formed and called America’s Most Wanted, 4 of these guys launched into the scene at the St. Louis County Fair and Air show. Soon after, Andy rejoined the group and the band underwent a name change. Modern Vintage was born and began playing out that March. Since then, almost every weekend has been booked, playing at bars, clubs and events all around St. Louis.

Modern Vintage’s music selection is very eclectic. On any given night, you’ll hear them cover Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, The McCoy’s and Pink Floyd! The music selection comes from the Modern Vintage Request Book. At their shows, Modern Vintage circulates a book where patrons are encouraged to write in their name, e-mail address and song request. Then, when the band learns the song or artist request, they send an e-mail out to invite them to the next show where Modern Vintage will debut their song.
