Unplugged
We want to thank The Pennsylvania Rock Show for their hospitality (all the shameless plugs) and allowing us to rebroadcast portions of several shows that featured TME Artists, Producers and Writers. We have posted the songs from those shows that were all performed live and unplugged. This is the live performance by the Nied's Hotel Band on The Pennsylvania Rock Show, Wednesday, May 11, 2005. We have received so many emails saying that people had missed it so we are posting it here now. The show had the band which was John Vento, John Fox on guitar, Dick Gainor on bass and Susan Fawcett singing background. The band performed "Here We Go Again", "600 Under", "Grow Up Fast" and "Hourglass".

The Nieds Hotel Band  just got asked to play Moondogs (Blawnox) next Saturday night May 7 from 9:30pm-10:30pm opening up for The Mannish Boys (classic rock/blues). Since no one in this region supports live music (especially local artists) quite like Ronnie, the owner of Moondogs.

The Nied's Hotel Band will perform unplugged, no drums, just live, raw and vulnerable...........hmmmmmmm. We're also thrilled to announce that guitarist Johnny Carlino, best known for his work with James, will be joining us. Johnny plays a mean 12 string acoustic guitar.

TME Recordings Featured Songwriter: John Fox - BIO Page

BIO John Fox in Dragonfire

John Fox has always loved and been consumed by music. His mother started him on piano lessons at age twelve after hearing him play songs by Chicago and Three Dog Night by ear. He played in many piano recitals in the late 70's and early 80's. Things soon changed after his mother bought him the album Van Halen and soon by age fourteen John was playing guitar and starting to write songs. After having played in many garage bands, John joined his first semi-professional rock band "Dragonfire". They wrote originals and performed music by Sammy Hagar, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and Ozzy Osbourne to name a few.

After leaving Dragonfire, John then hooked up with charismatic front man John Vento to perform in "Exposure". Playing material from INXS, The Power Station, John Cougar and Bon Jovi. After a two year stint John exited "Exposure" and performed with "Hot To Trot" - a blues based classic rock band. It was during this period that John's songwriting abilities started to grow and mature from writing and recording with his college buddies known simply as "Plankton". Even as the musical climate shifted in the early 90's, John stuck to his heavy metal guns and continued to write and perform with metal band "Solomon Grundy".

John's favorite highlight was in 1994 having Ozzy Osbourne listen and respond to a demo tape John had sent him when Osbourne was looking for a guitarist. John had also met legendary Ozzy guitarist Randy Rhoads early in 1982 before his untimely death. Even though he didn't get the gig, John was elated that his childhood hero had sent him a reply and personally autographed the letter. It was also arround this time that John began to impersonate Ozzy and appear in clubs and perform Ozzy music with whatever band would invite him onstage. To this day, John is known to many as "Ozzy".

As the 21st century dawned, the two Johns, Vento and Fox, reunited to write and record two adult contemporary cd's. "Reflections Of An Average Soul" and the much lauded "Nieds Hotel" aided by legendary Winger/Whitesnake guitarist "Reb Beach". After five years performing with Vento, John has decided to retire himself to studio work. A true labor of love. "When a new great song is dumped into your lap, it feels like the heavens have truly smiled upon you." - says Fox. John is currently the producer and bassist for the brutal, hardcore band "Stone Cold Truth" and is doing keyboard sessions for a great new metal band in Pittsburgh that shall remain nameless until their 2nd full length release comes out later next year. Keep listening. You haven't heard the last of John Fox.

Sincerely yours,
John "Ozzy" Fox.
