The Vindys came together in Youngstown nearly 15 years ago, but it took a little while before they developed their sound and really built up some momentum. They woodshedded for a few years before their reputation in the area started to grow rapidly and eventually spill out of the area. The group released a seven-track EP Red Wine in 2014; the nine-track Keep Going in 2016 gave them some serious momentum. They dropped their latest album Bugs in 2022, shortly after that made a lucky connection with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, who took the band on tour across the U.S. in 2024 and 2025.
Charismatic frontwoman, singer/guitarist/lyricist Jackie Popovec, is the band’s main selling point with a powerful yet subtle howl that evokes classic R&B vocalists such as Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, but she’s also capable of introspective, jazzy vocals. She’s well supported by core band members John Anthony and Rick Deak on guitars and harmony vocals, along with drummer Owen Davis, bassist Brendan Burke and keyboard player Nathan Anthony.
If you haven’t seen them yet, you should check them out when they return to the Music Box Supper Club this week. Doors open at 6pm for dinner; show is at 7:30. Go here for tickets.
