Whether performing as a 7-piece rock band for 50,000 festival attendees, or as an acoustic quartet for an intimate audience of 100, Venice never fails to get the crowd up and dancing with their infectious melodies and high-energy grooves, or to bring them to tears with their poignant themes and heartfelt delivery.
Venice’s distinctive sound has made them a favorite of some of the biggest names in the business. To list just a few of the artists and bands they’ve either performed or recorded with, there’s Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Elton John, Phil Collins, Sting, Melissa Etheridge, Cher, Ozzy Osbourne, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Stevie Nicks, Chris Isaak, Kenny Loggins, the Doobie Brothers, Styx, Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys, Dolly Parton, Linda Rondstadt and Warren Zevon.
Venice has been featured nationally on such television programs as Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! News Daily, CNN’s Showbiz Today, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, The Jerry Lewis Telethon and Rick Dees’ Into the Night.
To date, Venice has found their biggest success in Holland, where in 2003, the band won an Edison Award (the Dutch version of the Grammy) for Best International Artist, beating out superstars U2 and Coldplay. In that country, Venice’s singles are a mainstay on radio, their tours sell out consistently, and they’ve guested on countless television programs, most notably on Two Metre Sessies, a popular prime-time program that has devoted three entire half-hour episodes to the band. The subsequent Venice – Two Metre Sessies CD release has gone gold.
