Jimmy Vivino

Jimmy Vivino is a versatile guitarist, producer, and musical director best known as Conan O’Brien’s longtime bandleader, anchoring shows like *Late Night with Conan O’Brien* and *Conan* for decades with his bluesy riffs and rock-solid grooves. A New Jersey native, Vivino cut his teeth as a session and touring guitarist, collaborating with legends like Levon Helm, Johnnie Johnson, and Al Kooper. His rootsy, genre-spanning style shines through in projects like his band Jimmy Vivino and the Black Italians, and his recent releases—like the gritty *Blues In The 21st* or his rollicking take on *Chattahoochee Coochie Man*—prove he’s still cranking out raw, soulful tunes. When he’s not leading bands or dropping blues-rock bangers, Vivino moonlights as a music historian, keeping classic sounds alive with the same passion he brings to his fretboard.
