45. Vince Mira
To believe that from such a slight 18-year-old build can belt such a deep bass-baritone voice is almost unthinkable—until you hear him. Known for his Johnny Cash–like voice and a repertoire of Cash and Hank Williams covers, Vince started out playing Spanish-language songs at Pike Place Market. That quickly evolved, and he has now toured with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam and made a record produced by John Carter Cash (Johnny Cash’s son). His cover material is giving way to original songs, and—without jinxing it—his career as a powerful singer/songwriter seems all but locked in.
