In Episode 735 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, Bill Domiano welcomes back Black Ridge, one of Pittsburgh's most dynamic rock bands, fresh off a major announcement. The band is gearing up for a monumental performance as they open for The Clarks at the 2024 Acrisure Stadium Kickoff and Rib Festival presented by I.C. Light. The show is set for Friday, August 30th, with Black Ridge hitting the stage at 7:30 PM, followed by The Clarks at 9:00 PM. Both The Steelers and The Clarks are institutions in Pittsburgh, making this a significant event for the band. But that's not all! Black Ridge is also scheduled to perform at The Band Jam Grass Roots Music Festival on Saturday, August 24th, at 6:00 PM. The festival, held at Cooper's Lake Campground in Slippery Rock, PA, is a weekend-long celebration of local music and artists. It commemorates the annual anniversary of the “Grass Roots Show,” which airs Sunday nights at 7 PM on The Rock Station 97.7 FM (WLER – Butler, PA). The festival is a showcase of the incredible talent featured on the show, offering a live setting for music lovers of all genres to enjoy. This year's event is presented by WoodmenLife of Butler, PA, who continue to stand strong for generations. Both Build the Scene and Music from the 412 are also in the list of sponsors. Black Ridge is known for its high-energy performances that feature a lead singer, two guitars, bass, keyboard, saxophone, and drums. Their shows are not just concerts but experiences—engaging, professional, family-friendly, and extremely energetic. The band loves to incorporate the audience by handing out percussion instruments and interacting with the crowd, making each show a unique and immersive experience. Their original songs, including “Raw Power,” “Stick it Out,” “New Day,” and “Celebration,” have gained significant recognition, being featured regularly on televised Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Penguins games. They also enjoy airplay on major radio stations such as 102.5 WDVE, 105.9 The X, 99.7 The Rock Station, and 94.3 Q94, among others. Their track “You'll Never Stop This Machine” was notably used during the 2021-2022 NHL Playoffs on the nationally televised “Hockey Night in Canada.“ In July 2022, Black Ridge expanded their reach with several performances in Nashville, TN, including a memorable set at Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge on Broadway. Following that, in September 2022, they released their latest EP, “Raw Power,” which is available on all major music streaming platforms. The band also traveled to Leestavall Recordings in Brooklyn, NY, to record custom vinyl singles, further showcasing their commitment to delivering high-quality music experiences. The band continued to stay busy throughout 2023, performing for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds pregame at Highmark Stadium, and in March 2024, they released their new single, “Sweat,” adding another dynamic track to their impressive discography.

If you love classic rock, old-time rock and roll, and R&B, you will love the Nieds Hotel Band. They began as a recording studio group and evolved into a Pittsburgh sensation. Much of this originated with the guidance of a member of Wild Cherry who is famous for Play That Funk Music. The Nieds Hotel Band has become the essence of the hard-working blue-collar muscle that has made Pittsburgh and their music appeal to the hard workers of America. NHB is popular with everyone who has heard them. They are very supportive of commercial drivers. They are much loved by crowds that clamor to see them in the Pennsylvania tri-state area. They even had an official holiday named in their honor by the mayor of Pittsburgh. Shelley Johnson interviews John Vento, the lead vocalist and founder of NHB. We feature some of their hits and debut two of their new songs. You'll love their vibe and their music.

John Vento is best known as the front man for the high-energy, rhythm and blues group, The Nied's Hotel Band (www.niedshotelband.com). NHB is quite a collection of great players that has built a stellar reputation for killer original music and live performances. Away from the band Vento focuses on creating introspective, brooding recordings that reach deep and sometimes dark places. His fans relish his blend of eclectic influences, delivered with raw emotions, which he masterfully shared in his 2019 release, “Love, Lust & Other Wreckage,” an almost all true autobiographical story of his love life and how it has been affected by his first love, the stage. John's story of love, lust, and other wreckage was so artistically crafted that it gained the attention of renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. Her rendition of John's saga has been shared as a stage play featuring music from the album. Check out this video clip from the premier – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXV1vwjXk-E&list=PLeR9KAr6aDocOv4UtlSMVgqF-YdWlnBG- Helping to engineer the journey through his love story are his core of collaborators, including a few of Pittsburgh best known artists; musician & producer David Granati, songwriter Bert Lauble, and singer/songwriter Cherylann Hawk. Other contributors on this album are stellar Pittsburgh musicians Cheryl Rinovato, Joffo Simmons, Bob Fetherlin, Wil E. Tri, as well as a few of David Granati's talented family members, Joey, Hermie and Jules. Of course, it's purely logical that Vento would find a great following in this town. His steely resistance to categorization is the very essence and backbone of Pittsburgh.
After a literal changing of his voice, John Vento has shifted gears with his new project.With the task of producing and releasing a song a month, Vento's "Brick by Brick" album is building from the ground up. He has several singles out already, including "New Mexico Way" with an accompanying music video, Vento's voice grew deeper in the past few years after a few incidents caused some damage to his vocal cords. A retrained voice and a new way of using it has given him a new sound and a new way to look at his music.On top of this, Vento currently helps with an Autism charity "Band Together" out of Pittsburgh that does regular concerts and events. We talked to Vento about his thought processes making music, his charity, and his goals in 2021.

Itali-Echo interview with John Vento of Nied's Hotel Band - Jan 4, 2021
Who Magoo *Music Review* - Blues, Rock, Indie, Country, Chats
Although John Vento came later in life to the professional music scene, he hasn't wasted any time, landing an IMEA award, and named Billboard's Emerging Artist for 2019. John is my guest on this edition of Americana Music Profiles as we talk about his career and latest project, Brick By Brick.
John Vento self-describes as making Americana Classic Rock with Indie Folk Pop surprises, which you can find when he performs solo, with Nied's Hotel Band, or, in the past, with Xposure and Bmen. He has sometimes been called the chameleon of Pittsburgh's music scene.
www.commsolutionsmn.com- Our schools are under attack. School boards complain about not having control, and then complain when the state gives them control. So many of Minnesota's school districts are similar, because there is so little independence given, thanks to the Department of Education and the teacher's union. So no matter where you are, you will benefit from this week's podcast. Independent School District 281 (Robbinsdale Area Schools) just held a school board forum through the League of Women Voters. You have three incumbents (John Vento, Helen Bassett, and Sherry Tyrrell) going against the slate called "Change281" (ReNae Bowman, Eric Pone, and Stacy Rider), and two other candidates (Brian Hanf, and Greta Evans-Becker). Like all school districts, they are battling over all-too-frequent referendums, school properties, COVID readiness, employment, busing... you know, all the typical things that school boards deal with, I mean, except for student achievement, graduation rates, college readiness, etc. There is too much focus on equity (aka Cultural Marxism or Critical Race Theory) and not enough on how to make every student the best they can be to go take on an ever-changing world. We also take a little time to discuss the recent passing of the 19th anniversary of our troops' arrival in Afghanistan. When are we going to get out? We have troops all over the globe. We're spending so much money. Why? When are our soldiers coming home? It's a topic worth a little discussion. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode, Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast. Andrew never knows what they are, but now he can… and so can you! We’ve launched the Spotify playlist: “Community Solutions Music From the Podcast!” You can listen to Roundabout from Yes after listing to Episode 30 on Roundabouts… or kick back and enjoy a rocking playlist just for the thrill of it. We add a new song every week. Subscribe and enjoy! Don’t forget that you can also subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify!
Not only is his journey through kidney cancer and depression a powerful story to be told, he continues to inspire lives daily through his music and non-profit, Band Together Pittsburgh. He has learned to powerfully overcome his challenges in life with a positive attitude and holistic approach. John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings. John’s 2019 MTS release is “Love, Lust and Other Wreckage.” The album received the IMEA Award for Best Americana Album. His single, “Rainbows And Lightning” reached the Top 20 on iTunes Canada charts, receiving national and international airplay and charting. His follow-ups, “Baby Blues,” “Humble Way,” and “I Hope I Don’t Fall in Love with You” (Tom Waits cover) have also received national airplay chart attention. His latest single, “Well Yeah Maybe” reached #1 on the South African iTunes charts. The videos for his singles have all been selected for film festival inclusion, around the globe. John is a January 2019 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist and a Communitas Award Winner for his work with non-profit, Band Together Pittsburgh. It’s no surprise to those who know him, as he truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, who treasures his family and friends. Certainly, that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs; and that, undoubtedly, is another quality which endears him to his fans. As he puts it, “If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.” Connect with John Vento: PRESS KIT: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10iOvRzKfk54bCkbs6FSIGkhI8zcEum8H www.johnvento.com https://www.facebook.com/johnventomusic https://twitter.com/JventoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y65K1Hu2uik https://www.bandtogetherpgh.org/ https://www.facebook.com/BandTogetherPGH/ PRESS CONTACT: Michael Stover MTS Management Group michael@msmanagementgroup.com Join us in Making Pittsburgh Healthy: www.makingpittsburghhealthy.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MakingPittsburghHealthy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingpittsburghhealthy/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/draarontressler Don't forget to subscribe, share, rate & review the show!

John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings. Rather than a drawback, however, Vento considers such diversity to be among his strengths; and his fans agree. They relish sharing his tumultuous trek toward achieving his artistic vision, which he accomplishes by channeling a blend of eclectic influences through his own, raw emotions. Helping to engineer the roller coaster ride is a stout core of collaborators, including John Randall Fox, Buddy Hall, Tim Hadley, and Frank Ferraro, along with renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. Many members of this crew have been with him for more than a decade; and it’s easy to understand why, as Vento consistently showers them with appreciation and accolades. Though a one-of-a-kind performer, he professes a great distaste for the word, “solo,” insisting that, “Without my collaborators, I would not have accomplished anything.” That’s no surprise to those who know him, as he truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, who treasures his family and friends. Certainly, that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs; and that, undoubtedly, is another quality which endears him to his fans. As he puts it, “If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.” Of course, it’s purely logical that Vento would find a great following in this town. His steely resistance to categorization is the very essence and backbone of Pittsburgh. Built by a veritable melting pot of blue-collar workers, the once-gritty city has risen from the slag heap, through the smoke and haze, to become a sparkling, spectacular hub of culture and learning. Yet, it remains true to its deeply-forged identity. John’s 2019 MTS release is “Love, Lust and Other Wreckage.” The album received the IMEA Award for Best Americana Album. His single, “Rainbows And Lightning” reached the Top 20 on iTunes Canada charts, receiving national and international airplay and charting. His follow-ups, “Baby Blues,” “Humble Way,” and current single, “I Hope I Don’t Fall in Love with You” (Tom Waits cover) have also received national airplay chart attention.

Enter Pittsburgh veteran musician and Top 20 iTunes charting artist, John Vento. John, along with Ron "Moondog" Esser, is a founder of Band Together Pittsburgh, a non-profit that raises awareness for those with autism, and engages them through music programs. "Differently Abled Man" will help raise awareness for those on the Autism Spectrum, with a portion of the proceeds going to the organization. The song will have its official launch at the Pittsburgh Blues and Roots Festival on July 27th and 28th, at the Syria Shrine Center.

People have written dissertations on him, his one therapist named her baby after him, and many of his therapists and teachers are still in his life today. But because he cannot socially interact, it makes it hard for him to make friends. You may think he isn’t paying attention, but he understands every word you say, he can hear you, he sees you, he just can’t verbally express it. Imagine how frustrating and lonely this can be, this is his life, everyday. My very intelligent son, stuck in this shell we call Autism.

John Vento - Love Stays Alive
John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings.Rather than a drawback, however, Vento considers such diversity to be among his strengths; and his fans agree. They relish sharing his tumultuous trek toward achieving his artistic vision, which he accomplishes by channeling a blend of eclectic influences through his own, raw emotions.Helping to engineer the roller coaster ride is a stout core of collaborators, including John Randall Fox, Buddy Hall, Tim Hadley, and Frank Ferraro, along with renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. Many members of this crew have been with him for more than a decade; and it’s easy to understand why, as Vento consistently showers them with appreciation and accolades. Though a one-of-a-kind performer, he professes a great distaste for the word, “solo,” insisting that, “Without my collaborators, I would not have accomplished anything.”That’s no surprise to those who know him, as he truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, who treasures his family and friends. Certainly, that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs; and that, undoubtedly, is another quality which endears him to his fans. John’s 2019 MTS release is “Love, Lust and Other Wreckage.” His single, “Rainbows And Lightning” reached the Top 20 on iTunes Canada charts, receiving national and international airplay and charting. John is a January 2019 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist.

As he puts it, “If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.” Of course, it’s purely logical that Vento would find a great following in this town. His steely resistance to categorization is the very essence and backbone of Pittsburgh. Built by a veritable melting pot of blue-collar workers, the once-gritty city has risen from the slag heap, through the smoke and haze, to become a sparkling, spectacular hub of culture and learning. Yet, it remains true to its deeply-forged identity. John’s 2019 MTS release is “Love, Lust and Other Wreckage.” His single, “Rainbows And Lightning” reached the Top 20 on iTunes Canada charts, receiving national and international airplay and charting. John is a January 2019 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist.PRESS KIT: https://drive.google.com/open?id=10iOvRzKfk54bCkbs6FSIGkhI8zcEum8H www.johnvento.comhttps://www.facebook.com/johnventomusichttps://twitter.com/JventoMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y65K1Hu2uik
Whiskey & Cigarettes Interview W/John Vento by DJ Nik
The 3 Questions for John Vento You’re involved in quite a few charity events that are musically based. Could you take a moment to talk about them and explain what got you involved in them? If you could change one thing about your local scene, what would it be? In the way that the music...
Pop Art Painter Jamie Roxx (www.JamieRoxx.us) welcomes John Vento (rock folk Americana) to the Show! johnvento.com John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings.

John Vento is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene; and, while his critics may use the term as a pejorative, Vento views it as a compliment. He understands that they’re motivated by the frustration of their inability to lock him into a specific musical style. After all, the front man for the high-energy, hard-rockin’ bands, The Businessmen, and the Nied’s Hotel Band, is also known for his introspective, brooding solo recordings. Rather than a drawback, however, Vento considers such diversity to be among his strengths; and his fans agree. They relish sharing his tumultuous trek toward achieving his artistic vision, which he accomplishes by channeling a blend of eclectic influences through his own, raw emotions. Helping to engineer the roller coaster ride is a stout core of collaborators, including John Randall Fox, Buddy Hall, Tim Hadley, and Frank Ferraro, along with renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. Many members of this crew have been with him for more than a decade; and it’s easy to understand why, as Vento consistently showers them with appreciation and accolades. Though a one-of-a-kind performer, he professes a great distaste for the word, “solo,” insisting that, “Without my collaborators, I would not have accomplished anything.” That’s no surprise to those who know him, as he truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, who treasures his family and friends. Certainly, that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs; and that, undoubtedly, is another quality which endears him to his fans. As he puts it, “If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.” Of course, it’s purely logical that Vento would find a great following in this town.
