The City of Youngstown is considered a home to many, including the local band, The Vindys. The sound of The Vindys can be attributed to vocalist, singer-songwriter, and guitarist Jackie Popovec, accompanied by guitarists John Anthony and Rick Deak.
At age 14, Popovec fell in love with music with the help of her father, who pushed her to pursue music professionally. From then on, she started writing songs and performing at local venues. In her early years emulated big singers from Steven Tyler to Etta James. Jackie developed her own voice matching the powerful voices in rock but with the style of jazz singers.
Jackie spent time in Florida studying music production eventually coming back to Youngstown to open a small business with her family. After a few years, Popovec found herself in a position to join a band, which shortly after her inclusion, became The Vindys.
Jackie hopes the Vindys and other groups will become champions for Youngstown in the growing art and music scenes.
Take a listen to Jackie's hope of Youngstown's art and music scene getting in tune with the growth and comeback of Youngstown.
