Vince Weber (October 26, 1953 – February 23, 2020) was a German blues and boogie-woogie pianist.
Born in Hamburg, West Germany, Weber started taking piano lessons aged ten, in 1963.
His sister introduced him to the blues by giving him records of Lightnin' Hopkins, Michael Pewny, Champion Jack Dupree, Taj Mahal and many others.
At the age of sixteen he played in bars in the harbour of his hometown Hamburg, where he met Hans-Georg Möller, another pianist, who introduced him to the boogie-woogie style of playing piano.
There he also met the comedian Otto Waalkes, who booked him as opener for his then-current tour.
In 1975 he released his first album, The Boogie Man on Otto Waalkes' Rüssl Räckords, which was awarded 'Deutscher Schallplattenpreis 1976'.
This album was partly recorded in the Fabrik (Hamburg), where he has had a regular gig once a month for 14 years since 1976.
In 1980 he became disc jockey at the local NDR radio station, where he hosted a weekly Blues broadcast.
He played with Big Joe Williams, Abi Wallenstein [de], Henry Heggen, Axel Zwingenberger, Jay McShann, James Booker, Chuck Berry and Champion Jack Dupree at music festivals and in clubs all over Germany.
Due to illness, Vince Weber reduced his stage activities in later years.
