For the past decade, The Vindys have captivated audiences with their signature blend of rock, soul, and pop. Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, the band has built a devoted following through electrifying live performances and heartfelt songwriting.

At the heart of The Vindys is powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Jackie Popovec, who has earned high praise from none other than Pat Benatar, who raved, “She’s amazing. That girl can sing her ass off.” She is backed by an exceptional lineup, with John Anthony on lead guitar, Rick Deak on rhythm guitar, Owen Davis on drums, Brendan Burke on bass, and Nathan Anthony on keys. Together, this dynamic ensemble crafts a sound that Music Connection Magazine hails as “rock and roll at its finest.”
The Vindys have been making waves nationally, lighting up major festival stages and opening for legends like Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, ZZ Top, Marcus King, Beth Hart, and Ann Wilson.

Their anthemic track “Are You Ready” was featured in television commercials for ESPN, while their music video for “Bugs” earned an exclusive selection at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival.
Critics have taken notice—The Washington Post’s Marc Thiessen raved, “Jackie Popovec is a revelation… By the end, they were delivering a raucous standing ovation. See. This. Band.” (The 10 Best Concerts I Saw in 2024). They were also named Cleveland Magazine’s 2023 Editor’s Pick for “Best Indie Rock Band.”

The Vindys are gearing up for an electrifying year as they prepare to release new music that showcases their evolving sound and creativity. They aim to push boundaries while staying true to their rock, soul, and pop roots. Their passion for crafting songs fuels their excitement, making this upcoming release not just another milestone but a bold step forward. The next chapter of The Vindys’ story is about to unfold, and it promises to be their most thrilling yet.

Nobody understands momentum quite like The Crowning. After storming the scene in the Fall of 2017 with their debut EP, the Pennsylvania quartet has already begun to establish themselves as a regional powerhouse with their unique take on the altrock/grunge sound. In a very short period they have amassed thousands of streams, opened up for several major national touring acts, received continuous airplay on hundreds of indie and college radio stations, and have been featured in several major publications including the cover of The Aquarian Weekly.

An Australian music podcast where Gen and Aless give you your front row ticket to the stories behind the sound.

Hosted out of Pittsburgh, PA, Tapestry began in July of 2018, as, quite simply, a passion project of mine. I would consider myself a music geek in all senses of the word and wanted to have a platform for me to discuss music with other so-called music geeks. 

Bringing my knowledge of progressive rock and metal, alongside other genres, and my love of conversation to the table, Tapestry is a podcast where I dig to get the answers about why music drives us to create. In each conversation I explore music, the thread that weaves between us all - an intricate fabric of the human experience.

This is way more than just a podcast about music. I hope you enjoy the show!

Tony Michaels hails from the small town of Blairsville, Pennsylvania, which is 40 
miles east of the city of Pittsburgh. When he was a toddler, his mother bought the 
album, "Meet The Beatles", and that's where it all started for Tony. Not only did he love 
the music, but when he learned that 2 of the Beatles, John Lennon and Paul 
McCartney, were writing "all those great songs", he became intrigued by HOW they 
were actually coming up with those "great songs". Although he followed the well-
traveled path of millions of other musicians by playing in cover bands, he constantly 
wrote original songs and produced demos of them in his home recording setup. Tony: 
“My very first band that I formed in middle school, I insisted that we play some of my 
originals! As a 13 year old, I already had about 20 or so songs written."
Tony is not only a songwriter and musician, he's also been in broadcast radio for 
years. He’s the general manager of WHJB-FM in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and is also
the host of a networked classic hits request show called Jukebox Saturday. Tony says: 
"When I posted my song, Flirtin' Hurtin' Kind Of Thing, for a proposed TV show called
Do I Have A Hit Song, it garnered over 10,000 LIKE votes. I had already played the 
song on my radio show and was pleasantly surprised that listeners then began calling 
and emailing me to request the song - week after week! I thought, mmm, maybe I do 
have a hit song!"
Musical influences for Tony? “Beatles, Stones, The Who…you name it, I’m a 
sponge!” What’s a “good song”? Tony: “A great melody that hooks you in with lyrics that
tell a good story.”
What do the songs posted here sound like? “Rock, pop, soul, folk…lots of 
different styles here!” Tony also plays all instruments and vocals on a good portion of 
the songs here.
Tony is joined on some of these songs by Mike Andrews. Tony and Mike have written 
about 30 songs together. Mike is heard dueting with Tony on “Stars In Their Courses” 
and on lead vocals on “When Do We Call It Love”, “Broken” and “Never Too Late”.
From the catchy pop of the guitar-driven “Flirtin’ Hurtin’ Kind of Thing” to the haunting 
ballad, “Stars In The Courses”, from dance beat hook-filled “Let’s Play With Fire” to the 
power pop of “The Bitter End”, the 11 songs here from Tony Michaels and also Michaels
and Andrews, are sure to grab you by the ears and not let go for a long time
