The Vindys have built a rock-solid word-of-mouth reputation over the past decade, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, soul, and pop.
The Youngstown, Ohio-based band is led by the powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Jackie Popovec, who The Canton Repository cited “…uncannily evokes Amy Winehouse on the more retro songs while going full-tilt rock ‘n’ roll on the harder, moodier numbers.” Rounding out the band is John Anthony on lead guitar and Rick Deak on rhythm guitar. The expanded lineup includes Owen Davis on drums, Brendan Burke on bass, Nathan Anthony on keyboards, Kyle O’Donnell on trumpet, Brian Mayle on trombone, and Garret Kuchmaner on saxophone.
The Vindys album, Bugs, received critical acclaim and has been described as “…a record showcasing a maturing, versatile band whose musical palette encompasses everything from gritty classic rock to vintage jazz to refined pop.” by the Canton Repository. WKSU (NPR) called it “…a 10-track rock ‘n’ roll triumph that fuses the group’s vintage jazz aesthetic with a more straightforward blues-rock sound.” Ear To the Ground stated, “…The Vindys are one of the tightest and talented acts on the national stage. The rockers have long produced soulful and exquisite tracks, but with their last album, they proved to be a magnetic force of sonic mastery.
As the band gears up to release another album in early 2025 and also hits the road for their first national tour alongside Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Glide is premiering their new single “Elton Glasses Baby” (PRE-SAVE). One of their more pop-leaning tunes, the song was written by frontwoman Jackie Popovec and guitarists John Anthony and Rick Deak. Indeed, the song has an arena-ready sound that straddles the line between infectious pop and big stage rock. We get dramatic vocal flourishes, vibrant guitar fills, and an airy, anthemic sound that is sure to grab the attention of new audiences.

Heard the Vindy’s and most of the songs that featured a talented vocalist, but when they played this song Jackie this band got my attention. Coming from enjoying late sixties early seventies rock favorites featuring British Rock, Jackie’s talented voice and harmonizing along with a great musical blend in a well done piece of music made me a fan. Well Done!
