Few musicians in recent decades can claim the caliber of credits held by Grammy-nominated guitarist, Rick Vito.

Perhaps best known as a member of Fleetwood Mac (1987-1991), Rick brought back the roots and blues quality once found in the band's original Peter Green era. His original songs are featured on their albums, Behind The Mask and The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac and The Chain. He also appears on their "Greatest Hits" release and the live full length concert DVD, Tango in The Night.

Rick later partnered with Mick Fleetwood to form the "Mick Fleetwood Blues Band feat. Rick Vito." Shortly after the release of their CD, Blue Again, Rick was nominated for a 2010 Grammy Award in the "Best Traditional Blues" category as both artist and producer.

Vito's unique slide and lead guitar work has also enriched the recordings and performances of such legendary Rock & Roll, Blues and Country Hall of Fame artists as Bob Seger, Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, John Fogerty, Little Richard, Albert Collins, Boz Scaggs, Dolly Parton, John Prine, Delbert McClinton, Roy Orbison, Jackson Browne, Roger McGuinn, Hank Williams Jr., Stevie Nicks, Todd Rundgren, and scores of others. He has appeared on hundreds of recordings, and his haunting slide guitar solo on Bob Seger's "Like A Rock," has been heard by untold millions as the guitar voice on the Chevrolet truck TV commercial ads.

He received a W.C. Handy Award for "Blues Song of the Year," for "It's Two A.M." as performed by Shemekia Copeland.
