Vinnie Medugno is more than a radio host, he’s a performer, singer, teacher, and oldies‑music evangelist.

On “The Vinnie Medugno Show,” listeners are treated to a curated journey through the golden decades of 50s, 60s, and 70s music. Each week, Vinnie doesn’t just play the hits, he dives deep. He spotlights specific years and artists, and often “opens Vinnie’s Vinyl Vault” to spin rarer cuts and deeper album tracks, giving longtime oldies fans something fresh while satisfying the nostalgia.

Behind the mic, Vinnie has built a reputation for authenticity and for bridging generations. He’s interviewed classic‑era stars like Frankie Valli, Smokey Robinson, Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals, and Peter Noone, among others. These conversations, along with live performances, have helped cement his show as a go‑to for “oldies lovers.” 

Off‑air, Vinnie continues to perform live, sometimes opening for 50s/60s legends or performing alongside groups like The Chiclettes and The Coda Band, so his voice and energy remain rooted in performance.

Because of this multi‑faceted presence ,teacher, performer, interviewer, and curator, Vinnie has earned a special nickname among fans and in his publicity materials: “Mr. Christmas.”

That leads us to the big seasonal highlight:
