A singer/songwriter mixing acoustic guitars and indie rock into a smooth, home-grown sound. A bit Elliott Smith, a bit Beatles and a touch Nick Drake, with a healthy dose of that well-worn "recorded in the basement" vibe.

RECENT REVIEWS
"A lot of demos and CDs come through the Indelicious offices, and opinions
vary, as everyone here has different tastes. So it's rare that something
grabs everyone's attention. Ohioan Viola has that ability.
It's hard to pigeon-hole Viola's debut disc "Far From the Maddening Crowd,"
as it spans many genres and tiptoes beautifully from one to the next,
maintaining surprising cohesion. Honestly, I can say that if you're a true
fan of music and prefer the classic focus on songwriting rather than flash,
you should give Viola a listen. You can yearn for the Beatles or Stones,
you can mourn the deaths of Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, or you can
celebrate the music of Viola. Yes, it's that good."

BIO
This singer-songwriter's voice has been called a "silent scream" by some. He delivers powerful feelings softly, letting his lyrics and guitar work convey the emotion while steering clear of any vocal "acting" or flashiness.
