Joe Vitale Jr of the alternative rock band Ravenwood. This is the driving force behind Ravenwood, fronted by Joe Vitale Jr. For the past decade, Joe has been clawing his way through the jungle-like terrain of the music scene—even if it means he has to crawl. But one thing’s for certain-- with his blend of modern rock and a sweet dash of "signature Joe", Ravenwood is poised to lead the aural revolution. This isn't cookie-cutter music from a sound-a-like artist. Ravenwood is unique--out-of-the-box honesty with no B.S. Joe has taken life's knocks-- heartache, disappointment, falsehoods, doubt and frustration-- rolled-up his sleeves, and turned it all into a message of rockin' positivity with his debut album "Dancing with Shadows". It’s an album nine-years in the making and worth the wait. "Fight It or Self Destruct", "I Don't Belong Here", "Mysterious", "Never Look Back", and "Break!" perfectly relay his missive of triumph over adversity. This continues into his two albums for Ravenwood, “Ravenous” (2021) & recently released "Unsympathetic Vibrations” (2023). Find yourself identifying with: a relationship gone bad-- the breakup anthem "It's Not Me It's You"; the pursuit of the alluring lady of your dreams with "Beautiful Girl"; that special someone who’s become your addiction with "You Make Me Feel Alive"; people that have judgments and preconceived notions, with the title track "Dancing With Shadows". Joe's positivity, his Faith and beliefs are woven throughout this critically acclaimed albums & singles. Music is in his blood. Maybe literally. This multi-instrumentalist is the son of legendary rock drummer Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh, the Eagles, Crosby Stills & Nash, Buffalo Springfield) and spent his early years cutting his teeth on the road also touring with Joe Walsh, The Stephen Stills Blues Band, Crosby Stills and Nash & Donnie Iris & the Cruisers. He has worked in the studio for Stephen Stills & the Jimi Hendrix foundation. His work on the Stephen Stills’ song “Feed the People” won Stephen a UNICEF award. He has presented for Sony Creative Software at the NAMM Show as well as speaking on college campuses about the music industry. He has won Best Modern Rock Song Award at the Ohio Music Awards in 2014 as well as an award for his music video “Never Look Back” at the Canton International Film Festival. Joe Vitale Jr / Ravenwood is currently touring and working on a follow-up album.
