Z95.5 FM - THE BONE plays music from the 70's until now and its format is solid rock (from Alice in Chains to ZZ Top). If you live in Missouri, see the River Radio Group's Classified Ads.
VonAmp performed at the historic Webster Hall in the East Village of New York City on October 9th, 2010. We do have video from our performances (recorded with a camcorder), but we will soon have pro-video and audio of our show. The entire trip was awe inspiring, but especially meaningful since VonAmp's concert performance fell upon the birthday of John Lennon - the late, legendary member of The Beatles and a New Yorker himself. During the show, Discovery Kids® and a couple of music executives came out to check out VonAmp, and other ultra talented bands performing at the venue, and told Mr. Salottolo that they thought VonAmp had HUGE potential in the music industry. We're sure they were equally impressed by the other performers as well. Read about the other talented acts on this page.... The members of VonAmp had a great time since we were finally able to meet alot of the East Coast performers that we've been admiring (and messaging) on YouTube. Mr. Salottolo, founder of the Youth Arts Forum, was extremely gracious and kind. When we stepped up to do our sound check and threw in a song, he smiled big and said, "You sound EXACTLY how I knew you would!" After VonAmp performed its segment of the show, Mr. Salottolo asked the band if they would be interested in being one of the headliners in his East Coast touring circuit. (Mr. Salottolo appears with VonAmp in the lower-right corner of our photo montage above.) The concert was held in the portion of Webster Hall called The Studio which carries on the legacy of the 1950s and 60s when Webster Hall became the live recording home of RCA Records, and where legends such as Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Bob Dylan made rock and roll history. We want to thank Thomas (see pic below right) for his hospitality at Webster Hall. We were all convinced that Thomas had to be a rock star, but for sure he's a star in his own right. He came to the U.S. all the way from the U.K. and we were honored to spend the day with him. A
couple of hours before our
show, we found a great restaurant around the corner, New
Amici - their italian cuisine is excellent!!!! See
pic below on left. They had the biggest slices of pizza
that we'd ever seen and it was the authentic Italian food that
you dream of eating in New York City (and it's just around
the corner from Webster Hall.) VonAmp also visited the
area known as Ground Zero - see more
info.

Webster Hall is a 40,000 square ft. landmark nightclub/entertainment venue located in the heart of the historic East Village. With professional bartenders, NYC's hottest DJ's, six separate lounges, the most advanced lighting system in North America, and the best stage in New York City. The concert was organized by Barry Salottolo, founder of the Youth Arts Forum of New York City. Several acts performed and the event raised money for feeding children of the city. YAF Founder, Barry Salottolo, has submitted a formal Letter of Recommendation to VonAmp regarding the invitation to play at this fine event. VonAmp was named Artist of the Month (June 2010) by the Youth Arts Forum in New York City. See the featured article on the YAF web site by following the Artist of the Month link above. After our concert was complete, L.A. Guns went on stage for the later show - their amazing drummer hails from the band Guns & Roses.
