John Vento Takes Listeners on a Musical Joyride with His Newest Track: “She Drove me to the Poor House”

The award-winning singer-songwriter and roots rock veteran from Pittsburgh has released a new single and lyric video from his album, “Brick By Brick.”

PITTSBURGH, PA – June, 2023 – Chart-topping Roots Rocker, John Vento is happy to announce the release of his brand new single and accompanying video for “She Drove Me to the Poor House.” The single is taken from Vento’s epic, 3 years-in-the-making album, “Brick By Brick,” and brings together an impressive collaboration of producers, musicians and vocalists.

The original concept for the song was born from a poem written by Carl Clemens (Youngstown, OH), which was then presented to producer and multi-instrumentalist David Granati, who quickly added his unique twist to the song. The result is a driving rocker with a whole lot of sass from the powerful vocals of Nicole Kress.

The accompanying video by Kay Bey brings the energy of the track to life. It is an electrifying and captivating performance, featuring Vento and his band of collaborators.

So, be sure to check out John Vento’s new single and video for “She Drove Me to the Poor House” today!

“She Drove Me To The Poorhouse”

She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas
The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes on my back

She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!

Boys let me tell you bout a girl I know
I’m sure you met her before
She’s the one who spends your money
And makes you so damn poor

Get a new car, buy a new house, give her money for a brand new blouse
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas

She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas

The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes  on my back

She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!

Breaker, breaker 1-9
I’m headin’ south straight to the poorhouse
You drove me to the poorhouse
I give you an inch but you take a mile

Now you got me dead ass broke
All you do is smile

She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She drove me to the poor house
And I’m payin’ for the gas

She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m  payin for the gas
The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes on my back

She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and everything
She drove me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!

She drove me to the poor house
And I’m  payin for the gas!
She drove me to the poor house
And you can kiss my big fat ass !

[Music] Back to Life – Deitrick Haddon & Voices of Unity

GRAMMY® Award nominated singer-songwriter, Deitrick Haddon, and his group, The Voices of Unity, are back on the grind with a slick urban groove entitled, “Back to Life” (ManHaddon Ministries/Tyscot). It’s an affirmative, feel-good message of faith.  Where he shakes things up is on the music bed itself.

Deitrick Haddon has created a danceable, futuristic groove that is saturated with the percussive accouterments of `80s funk bands (think of The Gap BandThe Dazz BandZapp, and Prince & The Revolution) with the pulsating bass lines of a sweaty club DJ. The rhythm cascades between in-your-face Funk and lilting Trap music loops, before closing out with a pulsating  4-on-the-floor fade.

“The world is dying because we’ve left the one key that’s necessary to keep it alive,” Haddon says. “The key to life is love. Love is gonna bring us back to life!” This is Haddon’s first Voices of Unity production since 2012’s A Beautiful Soul film soundtrack, which included the Billboard Top 30 single, “No Betta” with Faith Evans.

Some of their other past collaborations include “Anybody Here,” “Watch Me Praise Him,” and their signature cut, “He’s Able.”

[Music] Daddy – Winifred Afimoni

Gospel Music minister, Winifred Afimoni has released a brand new single titled “Daddy”.

“DADDY” is a song to remind us that God’s Love is steadfast, unceasing, unchanging and unfailing. In a world where love always come with a price, God’s love does not bargain, His love is unconditional.

Romans 5:8; But God demonstrates his own love for us, While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Love is a commitment of heart, mind, soul and body.

“At a moment when I doubted God’s love in my life through challenges and difficulties, I woke up to a reassurance the Bible says in Prov 3:5-6 (Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths), this scripture gave me assurance when I felt like there was no hope.

I had the confidence that no matter the challenge, God’s hand will always carry me and make a way, trusting him that he will always come true. Even when I had doubts, his hand came through for me Habakkuk 3:4 (His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden)” – Winifred said.

[Music] Eyin Oluwa (Praise the Lord) – Maudlyn Abajuo

Maudlyn Abajuo is a gifted songwriter, a gospel minister, and a lover of Jesus on a journey of spreading the gospel of Jesus and revealing God in his fullness through her songs which are inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Her latest single “Eyin Oluwa” is a song that was inspired by the Holy Spirit in her place of worship.

“It is a song of the clarion call to praise the Lord, just as the title states; Eyin Oluwa which means “ Praise The Lord”. I am not Yoruba, so when the song came, I didn’t understand what it meant but with the help of my featured artist, Mr. Sola Soetan who happened to co-produce the song, I got a clearer understanding of the song and with this, we both sat and did the finishing touches.

As weeks went by and as I meditated on the song, a message to us all was given which you will see at the end of the video”, Maudlyn said.

[Download] Power of God – B. Chase Williams and Shabach

Atlanta, GA —  He calls himself a true ‘Choir Head.”  A ‘Choir Head” is a person who has been exposed to Gospel choir music for most of their life and who appreciates and continues to advocate and promote the genre to ensure that it remains a thriving element of music beyond its sacred foundations.  For B. Chase Williams, Choir music is the foundation of his faith that he unapologetically shares through his award-winning choir SHABACH.  

“I had to accept that THIS is what God created me to do,” B. Chase Williams shares.  “THIS is who we (Shabach) are, and we must remain TRUE to who we are!  If we tried to do anything else, we would be hypocrites.”

He continues, “We’ve made major sacrifices to stay out there in a time where the music industry has tried to push the choir out! But we are still being booked consistently, which means there is still great purpose in our ministry.  It proves that we and choir music is NECESSARY!” 

B. Chase Williams and Shabach now have a new single, “POWER OF GOD,” available on all digital music outlets.
