Front woman, vocalist, primary songwriter and band leader Akina Adderley lights up the stage as the Little Woman with the Big Voice. Her powerful presence is irresistible, and KUT 90.5 FM declared her "phenomenal vocals call to mind the sounds of classic soul and R&B." Granddaughter of jazz trumpeter Nat Adderley, grandniece of jazz saxophonist "Cannonball" Adderley, and daughter of Nat Adderley, Jr. (producer/pianist/band leader for Luther Vandross), Akina brings a distinguished musical pedigree to the Vintage Playboys, who are a tight group of players from an eclectic musical background.

The Austin Chronicle has this to say in their 2011 cover story: "Adderley is funk to funky, with the Vintage Playboys slathering hot-buttered soul all over her arrangements of mostly originals with a few well - chosen covers in the mix (Bill Withers, Buddy Miles, Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone)." This is a band daring you to dance.

Miss Margaret Moser of the Austin Chronicle introduced them at a special show recently with this: "In jazz, the name Adderley means soul. In Austin, the name Akina Adderley means the best funk around. Please give it up for Akina Adderley and the Vintage Playboys".
