The Vindys are passionate about representing their hometown of Youngstown, OH as a place where the music scene is thriving. Their name pays homage to their roots by drawing influence from Youngstown’s daily newspaper, The Vindicator.  The band features some of the best and most versatile players in the Northeast Ohio area.  The 9 piece band which includes a horn section is led by powerhouse singer songwriter Jackie Popovec with sweet and sultry vocals reminiscent of Amy Winehouse.  The Vindys have performed at various festivals including WonderRoad, Three Rivers Arts Fest, and Summerfest where the band won the vote as the crowd’s favorite artist as part of the Emerging Artist Series.  Additionally, The Vindys were direct support for Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Walk Off the Earth, The Drive-By Truckers, Hunter Hayes, and more.  Their song “Are You Ready” was used in AT&T Sports.net broadcasts to promote the Pittsburgh Pirates, Penguins, and Steelers, and ESPN just recently picked up the fight song in promotion for the ACC Network’s Softball 2023 Season.  Their latest sophomore album “Bugs” blends rock, blues, and pop for a wildly dynamic and fun listen.
