About Vince

Having joined his first band at 16 as a guitarist, Vince persued 6 years of classical and opera vocal tuition. He then made the transition into a career as a solo- pop/rock artist and a covers tribute artist, before transitioning as an original artist in country and country rock.

Italian born, Vince grew up in Canberra, moved to Sydney for music opportunities, before moving to Las Vegas, where he recorded an album, co-produced a production show, and was asked to tour with many headline acts including Tom Petty. He was also offered his own Las Vegas show room at the Flamingo and the Monte Carlo Casino.

In 2013, Vince’s original song, “Every Dream” actually hit number 1 on the USA Billboard charts!

In 2016, Vince moved to the Gold Coast. He is known for his charismatic performances, and exceptional vocals with his country/rock band “The Memphis Cowboys.”

Our Testimonials

We’ve booked Vince and the City Fever band for our last three annual conferences on the Gold Coast, and we will continue to do so. The guests in attendance are all managers of leagues clubs around Australia, and have therefore seen all the entertainment Australia has to offer. Vince entertains our crowd like no one has! His fun and interaction with the crowd, and his ability to resonate with all, make it an experience. And that voice! It makes Dawn Fraser melt every time!
Don HammondLeagues clubs Australia Director
Vince is literally one of the best entertainers I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching! He truly is amazing! Thank you!
Dawn FraserAustralian former Olympic Swimming Champion
“Wow… what a voice! I had to look in the studio to see who that was! He’s from Australia? Wow!
Verdine White“Earth, Wind and Fire” band member at Junxion sound Las Vegas recording studio
City Fever was the “wow factor” our event needed…. culminating in a dynamic show extravaganza, with a full band and dancers…. Including them for our annual Meniga Medal Presentation Ball made it one of the best ever staged!
Jason MathieCommercial & Marketing Manager (Canberra Raiders NRL
I’ve been booking Vince and the Memphis Cowboys for over five years in our venue, for the Parkes Elvis festival, which sees 25,000 attendees coming in to town. I have never seen another band or entertainer create the excitement in the crowd that they do! Their repertoire, whilst includes some Elvis songs for the festival, is so diverse! The band are fabulous, and Vince has an incredible voice, but the interaction and fun Vince creates with the crowd keeps the audiences literally lining up to get in before each performance… our venue is large and completely at capacity when they perform, and our bar sales each time speaks volumes! The band is a must see!
Charlene UsherCambridge hotel Parkes
We recently saw Vince Gelonese and the Memphis Cowboys perform at the Tudor hotel-Tamworth during peak time of the country music festival. Every time the band played, the venue was full! Vince is certainly a crowd pleaser, and a total entertainer… patrons were outside dancing, the venue was so full! Great band!

Thank you for all your hard work and awesome performances making the surprise party for Michael’s 60th birthday on 21 April a wonderful night. You all helped enliven the party and make it a memorable and amazing night! Vince and the City Fever band were fabulous, getting most of our family and friends onto the dance floor. I got many complements about the great music that got the party rocking. The dancers were such a great surprise to guests, adding a special sparkle to the evening. Once again, thank you for all your outstanding performances that created an awesome night and made the surprise party a great success.
Barbara AndersonCanberra
We received great feedback from members across the board – for all three events. They enjoyed the band thoroughly and commented that it appealed to all age groups – which was the goal – so good to hear we delivered! As you know it’s an annual dinner and I’m happy to consider you again for next year – just need to think of a different theme. Thank you for all your assistance and good luck with your overseas work as well.
