Biography
Nick is a folk-rock/garage/pop singer-songwriter who delivers smart songs with simplistic savvy.
Nick has been writing and performing his music for a little over a decade. His music stems from personal experiences and observations of life, relationships and self-awareness.
Nick’s acceptance of various influences allows his sound to be versatile and forever evolving. Plus, with a loose personable performance style, often including impromtu live songwriting and a cheesy joke challenge, Venturella connects well with his audiences making each show a memorable one.
Originally from St. Louis, MO Venturella got his musical start in Waukesha, WI, later moved to Madison, WI, spent a recent stint in Milwaukee, WI, but now is back in Madison, WI (did you catch all that?). Nick performs throughout the upper Midwest at colleges, coffee shops, restaurants/bars, hotels, and private parties.
Music has afforded Nick Venturella the opportunity to open for and work with some other outstanding college market performers, including: Jason LaVasseur, Copeland, Catchpenny, Life in General, Fade 2 Shade, John Hermanson (of Alva Star and Storyhill) as well as local favorites: Mark Croft, Sean Michael Dargan and Ryan McIntyre (formerly of EXIT).
College radio, word-of-mouth (www.myspace.com/nickventurella) and “through the grapevine” fan distribution are growing a loyal following for this Midwestern D.I.Y. independent.
