About

Nick Venturella is a WI-based, self-represented, solo acoustic folk/pop singer-songwriter (think John Mayer meets The BoDeans and Plain White T's).  Venturella is also a NACA Northern Plains Regional Associate member.

Venturella has been writing and performing his music for nearly 17 years, 10 of which have been primarily spent in the college entertainment market.

With a loose, personable performance style, Venturella engages audiences to make each show a memorable one.  His songs stem from his own personal experiences and observations of life, love and relationships.  Read Venturella's full bio here.

Being a professional musician since 1994, Venturella has learned several things about creative entrepreneurism.  In 2010 he released his first book, The Local Music Journey.  The book offers Venturella’s knowledge, resources and advice, in the form of interviews, with music professionals to help readers achieve their music career goals.

Now, Venturella inspires college students by speaking about the book’s broader message of being creative and entrepreneurial to achieve one’s life goals.
