Vicki Pompea: Bio

Vicki Pompea

I'm a native Coloradoan - born in Colorado Springs. I played cello for 10 years. I asked for (and received) a guitar as a wedding present from my dear husband.

After playing guitar and singing for the living room crowd for 17 years, I decided to venture out. I've now been a "professional" musician for 5 years (as of March 31st). Professional, meaning I pay taxes. Maybe in another 5 years, I'll be able to support myself.

What is also pretty exciting is that I have celebrated my 100th performance / gig / concert / musical endeavor (I never quite know what to call them). Who would ever have thunk that I would end up doing this?

All About Me
(A Poem by Vicki Pompea)

and I died (well, not yet)

*well, not yet.
