John Vento - Pittsburgh-based veteran rocker and leader of Nied's Hotel Band. His new album came out on January 18th, and it is the soundtrack to a musical production written by renowned playwright, Amy Hartman.

He is often called a chameleon in the Pittsburgh music scene, yet Vento views it as a compliment. His fans relish sharing his artistic vision, which he accomplishes by channeling a blend of eclectic influences through his own, raw emotions.

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.

He truly is a humble, loving, and grateful person, and that comes across, loud and clear, in his honest, from-the-heart songs.  If just one person is touched in some small way by one of my songs, that’s the greatest reward that I could receive.

Helping to engineer this roller coaster ride, is a stout core of collaborators include:  John Randall Fox, Buddy Hall, Tim Hadley, and Frank Ferraro, along with renowned playwright/lyricist, Amy Hartman. John appreciates them enormously. Though a one-of-a-kind performer, he insists that, Without my collaborators, I would not have accomplished anything.

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.
