vig was born in smalltown Ontario and fled south to the U.S. in his early teens to immerse himself in the streetlife of New York City and San Francisco. Influenced by his experiences of Woodstock, The Fillmore East, student and feminist politics he returned to Canada to live an alternative lifestyle in rural B.C. eventually journeying back to the west coast.
He has played and presented music for 30 years. He also built furniture as his primary career during that time. A seasoned participant in the arts and culture community with a youthful passion for dance, new music, circus arts and a safer, sustainable and more egalitarian world community, Vig is currently the entertainment coordinator for the Waverley Hotel in Cumberland and the creative director for Cumberland Village Works (an entertainment production company also based in Cumberland).
He is also the Artistic Director for Atmosphere and lives in Cumberland with his partner Melissa Roeske.
