Valley performers shine in year-end concerts

Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t drive up expecting to buy a ticket at the door. The Vindys sold out the Live Nation venue. In addition to the Mahoning Valley faithful that were in attendance, the band has a growing following on the North Coast. The group sold out the Music Box Supper Club multiple times, but HOB is about three times larger, and a sellout there is the kind of thing that will get the attention of others in the music industry.

Since I wasn’t in the crowd, I don’t have firsthand knowledge, but there were plenty of clips to be found on social media, and it looked and sounded like the band pulled out all the stops, including some surprising covers, from Ian Hunter’s “Cleveland Rocks” to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.”
