I was one of the founding members of the Pittsburgh-based band Sandoz which was signed to the New York label Relix Records and produced three albums. I have just released an unsigned solo album, Out from Nowhere. The ten original songs run the gamut from folk rock to country swing and spoken word jazz and feature some of the city’s finest musicians on sax, flute, violin, pedal steel, piano, and guitar.

I have a friend (Billy Lonas, email: billyclonas@yahoo.com) who doesn’t like to “toot his own horn” but he is a really good “old school” country & western song writer. Sooooo, I am tooting his horn for him, lol. This song, which I helped him record in a good studio with professional musicians, is powerful, and especially timely and meaningful, with the current social/political clime in our country.

What does the name ‘No Serial Killer’ signify? 

It refers to the fact that as a 46 year old, I am happy to have not turned into a serial killer. By 2019 standards, I’m doing pretty well. If any of our listeners is a serial killer, you’re not welcome to be one of our fans. We only want ‘no serial killers’ to like ‘No Serial Killer’. Killing people due to one’s own inadequacies we find deeply offensive. Don’t hurt others is the message.

Petrella, First Lady of Country Soul Biography

Petrella First Lady of Country Soul Bio

Performing is something that  I enjoy doing and making music with a purpose. If I can put a smile on someone’s face through song, well that just means the world to me. I like to write some of my own music and also perform others. I try to get to the real heart and soul of a song. To me, it's not just words but a story and I do my best to portray that with every line. That’s my main draw to country music; the stories, the people, and the sincerity that comes from the heart.
