ABOUT THE BAND:
Guitarist Neal Vitullo of Warren and vocalist/harmonica player Dave Howard of Warwick formed Young Neal & The Vipers in the early 1980s to concentrate on performing the hard-driving Blues-Roots material they'd begun writing together. They quickly became a local sensation and released their first single in 1985.
The Vipers' popularity exploded in the Northeast and they soon became regulars at Manhattan's prestigious Lone Star Cafe. The band signed with Atlantic Records in 1989. In 1990, The Vipers had their first international feature in Guitar World and Neal was halled for his vituosic playing. The Atlantic deal failed to bear fruit and The Vipers released their first album, Hooloovoo on Big Noise, in 1991. It sold an astounding 10,000 copies. Despite that success, the band drifted apart. Neal took over the lead vocals and became the sole frontman for the band. In 1993, Neal released his first album as lead vocalist, I'm Finally Alone, on Big Noise. He stepped onto the international stage when he signed with King Snake Records for a four-album run beginning in 1996. The band toured extensively Internationally and all over the U.S.
Dave Howard rejoined the Vipers in 2009 and the group dropped the "Young" from their name. The band's latest album at the time of their induction, One Drunken Kiss, was released in 2018 to international critical acclaim and excellent sales, and Neal was recognized by Vintage Guitar as one of the finest guitarists of his generation.
