Jimmy Vivino (born January 10, 1955) is an American guitarist, keyboard player, singer, producer, and music director. He is best known as the leader of Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band, the house band for the TBS late night program Conan. He was also a member of The Tonight Show Band, the house band on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and its predecessor, Late Night with Conan O'Brien on NBC. Vivino has also played with many rock bands, which most recently has included being a member of Beatles tribute band The Fab Faux.
He is the younger brother of longtime New Jersey TV host Floyd Vivino, a.k.a. Uncle Floyd, and the Basic Cable Band bandmate Jerry Vivino.
Vivino grew up in Glen Rock, New Jersey. He attended Glen Rock High School where he played Tevye in a production of Fiddler on the Roof. He had an interest in music from a young age. He began working in New York clubs in the early 1980s and in 1984 was musical director of the play Leader of the Pack. Later he led "Jimmy Vivino and the Black Italians" and worked with Al Kooper. Kooper considered Vivino to be one of his "discoveries" and had him as musical director for fifteen years.

Tune in to the Conan show on TBS (weeknights 11/10c) and you will hear, and likely see, guitarist Jimmy Vivino leading the house band through a variety of musical styles while under crazy time and production constraints and doing it all on live TV. Talk about pressure! But the band, which is known as Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band, handles it more than admirably, and have become known for their dead-on performances. Jimmy has been an Epiphone fan for many years and it has been said that he has more Casinos than Vegas, but at the 2013 NAMM show, he discovered the Epiphone Riviera Custom P-93 and had to add it to his ever-expanding collection of Epiphone guitars. We spoke with Jimmy backstage at the Conan show about his new guitar.

Having a late-night gig with Conan O'Brien has made Jimmy Vivino one of the most visible guitarists on television. For the past 17 years, he's played blues licks and songs by The Clash (Conan's favorite band) on his trusty Les Paul and has acted as bandleader when drummer Max Weinberg went off to play with his old pal, Bruce. But Vivino's talents aren't confined to playing Conan in and out of commercials (which he will continue to do on O'Brien's new TBS show). A well-respected guitarist, Vivino has played in bands with Al Kooper, backed up Ronnie Spector and is part of the cleverly named Beatles tribute group The Fab Faux. He recently sat down in Gibson's New York showroom to discuss Conan, The Allman Brothers and his blues guitar idol -- Mike Bloomfield. http://www.gibson.com
In this exclusive interview, Jimmy Vivino, leader of the standout Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band on "Conan," discusses the Stratocaster, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2014. Vivino has a long history with Strats, including a 1965 model that he bought when he began playing guitar in his early 20s.
