Vinnie Vineyard
Vinnie Vineyard is a versatile performer. He has garnered notoriety in radio, music, stand up comedy, professional wrestling and acting. In 2013, the Maryville Daily Times did a piece on Vineyard, suggesting that he possibly is the most interesting man in East Tennessee shortly after he won the Libertarian nomination for state representative.
Vineyard created his own paranormal TV show "Wrestling With Ghosts" which has won several awards. In 2018 he declared that he was running for Tennessee State Governor as a Libertarian. He has since created the Paranormal TV shows "It Happened to Me..." "Haunted Graves", and a comedy skit show entitled "Lets Make Love with Big N Funky." Vinnie and his tag team partner "Big" Luke Walker have started writing and producing six movies about some of the legends, myths, and stories surrounding the Great Smoky Mountains in a collection they call "The Smoky Mountain Chronicles". The first movie, "The Hike" is about the Cherokee legend of Spearfinger, and their second movie "WJHC AM" takes a look at a small town southern gospel radio station during the apocalypse.
