Like father like son Joe Jr. has a cool story to tell.  TRIUMPH. OVER. ADVERSITY. This is the driving force behind Ravenwood, fronted by Joe Vitale Jr. For the past two decades, 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 alternative rock & industrial, 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".Joe's positivity, his Faith and beliefs are woven throughout this critically acclaimed album.Ravenwood just released their newest album "Ravenous" & it's available on all streaming & download platforms & as CD. The Ravenwood rock band is based out of Akron, OH.http://www.joevitalejr.com/https://www.facebook.com/joevitalejrofficialwww.instagram.com/joevitalejrofficialwww.youtube.com/user/joevitalejrofficialhttps://www.ravenwoodrocks.com/https://www.thevinylmachine.com/
