The Bronx Wanderers a Tribute to the Jersey Boys

Beginning in the Bronx as a father-son Dion tribute band, Yo! Vinny and the Bronx Wanderers exploded on the scene big-time in 2008, with their show-stopping stage show, amassing a huge loyal following, and celebrated groupies like Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aiello and Dion DiMucci himself. As their fame increaded so did their set-list, that now includes tributes to Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, The BeeGees, Rascals, KC & the Sunshine Band, Tommy James, Bob Seeger and the Brooklyn Bridge.

It was Dion DiMucci, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legend and arbiter of "The Bronx Blues" who set Vinny Adinolfi on the path to becoming a musician. It was also with Dion's help that Vinny came to work with producers Terry Cashman & Tommy West (It was Cashman & West who produced all of Jim Croce's hit records.) While working with the much-respected hitmakers, Vinny was able to work with Dion on the albums Return of the Wanderer and Fire In the Night. Vinny continues to work with Cashman, West and their partner Phil Kurnit to this day, producing records for Phil Kurnit's Winthrop Records, Metrostar Records and Lifesong Records. In 2003, as a stage actor, Vinny Adinolfi played "Eric DeVene" in the Heather Brothers New York Off-Broadway production, Cafe a Go Go, and most recently, playing the part of "Jimmy Whispers" in the Broadway-bound,

A Bronx Tale, and as the lead vocal voice of the group The Dukes, the new heist movie set to 50's rock and roll, with stars Robert Davi, Chazz Palminteri, and Peter Bogdanovich, set for release later this year. "It was a cousin of mine who challenged me to take my kids and another cousin of ours (Dino Rocco) out to play some dates in Las Vegas." With the addition of Jimmy Fracassi, best known for his many years with The Earls and touring with Dion, Vinny's two sons, Vinny 'The Kid', Nicky 'Stix' and his cousin Dino Rocco, Vinny formed The Bronx Wanderers. The dates went over so well, that they became a family act.

Dino Rocco was born in Queens, New York but spent much of his childhood in the Bronx tagging along with his “crooner” father, Sal Rocco. Sal moved the family to Long Island where Dino honed his skills as a musician. Dino quickly became a veteran of the New York club and college circuits. It was with Iron Horse, the legendary Staten Island group that Dino was approached by Rock 'n'Roll superstar, Steven Van Zandt, who is the anchor of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band as well as Bruce’s producer. Steven produced Iron Horse and took Dino under his wing to play with him.
From here Dino moved on to do studio work with Foreigner’s Mick Jones, Philip Michael Thomas of Miami Vice fame and Pat Thrall of Meatloaf. In 1999 Dino, Yo! Vinny and their cousin, Debbie Oddo, who at the time was a senior executive for the Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas, challenged her two cousins to put together an act promising to book them in the Monte Carlo. So Dino and Yo! Vinny honed their stagecraft in Las Vegas.

Dino is happy to be back with “My Cousin Vinny” and being an integral part of “The Bronx Wanderers.”
