"As the Pizza Guitar King of the Middle of Nowhere, Vito Grippi has a literary pedigree that is rare indeed. He has borne the burden of being my protege with dignity."
Marion Winik , author of Telling, First Comes Love, and her most recent, Above Us Only Sky

Vito Grippi writes and lives in South Central Pennsylvania with his wife and daughter. His work has appeared in The York Review, Nightlife Monthly, Unsung Hero and Fly Magazine, among others. He's been a finalist in the Bob Hoffman Writing Contest, and has spoken at the Mid-Atlantic Writing Centers Conference. Editorial duties have included Basses Loaded, Fly Magazine, and most recently,the new and uber cool, shaking like a mountain.

When not writing or playing music, Vito spends most of his time referring to himself in the third person and hanging with his family. He used to tell people that all you needed in life was a good pair of boots and a loving family. His beloved boots have since turned their backs on him, such is life. The ones you love the most will only turn their backs to you. Somebody else said that once. 

come see me at Mog.

Cheers
