Who is VC Pines?<\/strong> Singer songwriter VC Pines seemingly effortlessly manages to create strong imagery and colourful storytelling in his music, transforming the chaos of the world into a state of calm. His vast range and powerful vocals is combined with delicate and soulful instrumentation; his live pairing with his seven piece ensemble \u2018The Violet Collective\u2019 adds a new element to this creating an even more immersive sound.<\/p>\n

Why should you listen?\u00a0<\/strong>One of the darlings of the indie press in 2020, VC Pines was one of those artists on course for a huge 2020 of shows before everything went into lockdown.<\/p>\n

Where to start?<\/strong>
