Nick Venturella Music Bio

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 (think John Mayer and the BoDeans meet Ryan Adams and Dashboard Confessional). Plus, with a loose personable performance style, Venturella connects well with his audiences making each show a memorable one.

Venturella is originally from St. Louis, MO, but got his musical start in Waukesha, WI. For the last few years he has lived in Madison, but just recently moved to the Milwaukee area. Nick performs throughout the upper Midwest at colleges, coffee shops, restaurants/bars, hotels, and private parties.

Nick has had the opportunity to open for and work with some outstanding performers, including: Jason LaVasseur, Copeland, Catchpenny, Life in General, Fade 2 Shade, John Hermanson (of Storyhill & Alva Star), Sean Michael Dargan, Mark Croft, Ryan McIntyre and many more.

College radio, word-of-mouth and “through the grapevine” fan distribution are growing a loyal following for this Midwestern D.I.Y. Independent.

At Nick's
MySpace page  listen to music from his latest live album, Premium Blend as well as music from his latest full-length studio album, SweetSonic, both available now.

Design bio 

Nick Venturella has been a visual artist & designer for longer than he's been a musician, but instead of fighting for a separation between art and music Venturella has embraced them as a whole.  Often, one medium inspires the other, which is fitting for Venturella's interdisciplinary approach to creative communication.

With an eye for aesthetics, a natural talent for drawing and the ability to realize creative visions Venturella approaches all things creative with the entrepreneurial attitude of:  'If it doesn't exist or I'm not in a position to acquire it then what am I waiting for, I'll just create what I need.'

That kind of attitude allowed Venturella to push the envelope with his interdisciplinary commercially savvy communicative art forms while studying visual art at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and later Edgewood College in Madison, WI.

Venturella continues to design all visual communications related to his music endeavors, including album covers , posters, web ads and various music and design-related retail products in his online store. 

Venturella's professional experience in design,  marketing and public relations within corporate settings, small businesses and the field of higher education brings diversity to Venturella's knowledge and capabilities as a freelancer.

Writing bio

As an arts entrepreneur Venturella has learned a thing or two about how to succeed as an independent innovator and creative communicator. Venturella has begun to stretch his interdisciplinary communication skills by writing and soon publishing his thoughts and philosophies about the arts and commerce.

Look for published work in his online store soon.

"SweetSonic is Nick Venturella's fifth do-it-yourself album, but his music is far from introspective bedroom pop.  Venturella constructs full heartland rock anthems with crashing drums, careening guitars, and multiple vocals.  Optimistic songs of love pursued, obtained, and lost dominate the proceedings, with Venturella's raw but reassuring voice setting a tone of confidence and urgency."

-The Onion, A.V. Club, Madison, WI Aug. 17th issue
