Get to know Vitruvia
Vitruvia is a dynamic American post-hardcore band based in Southeastern, Pennsylvania.
A fusion of punk, metal, and progressive rock, our unique sound is a perfect medley to get audiences going wild
Vitruvia's writing process is taken very seriously, with each song having its own theme, showing everyone is loved and not alone.
Since their start in late 2009, the band has proven their resilience in the face of adversity and tragedy time and time again with the sudden loss of their second guitarist, Nathan Baker.

From Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Tanner is a vocalist and bassist for Vitruvia. When starting his music career, he was inspired by The Ghost Inside. Some of his favorite bands (outside of his own) are Sleeptoken, Crosses, Dayseeker, Aurorawave, Currents, Polaris, and Motionless in White. When playing live, Tanner loves the release of emotion that there is just no other way of letting out. He values crowd energy during the shows and loves to see people connecting with the emotions that the songs were written to capture. His pre-show prep starts as soon as he wakes up, firstly by drinking plenty of water and warming up his voice. Outside of doing music, he is in charge of a lot of the tech stuff behind the scenes, from music videos to lightning tracks. He is most excited about finally releasing new music and he wants people to feel hope for things to get better when hearing it.

@danahinnershitzvta
From Blandon, Pennsylvania, Dana is one of the guitarists and vocalists of Vitruvia. Drawing inspiration from his father and uncles’ band growing up, he brings a legacy attitude to the group. Outside of the band, he listens to a variety of genres from metal to oldies, and even listens to children’s music with his kids! When he’s getting ready for a show, he feels stress and chaos when making sure everything is working correctly and everyone knows their roles, all while drinking lots and lots of water. In his spare time, Dana spends time with his 3 kids and wife, with music lingering somewhere in the background. He’s excited to share more music with more people and finish up the latest Vitruvia project. Dana hopes people feel alive, worthy, and not alone when listening to the band.

Aaron is a Vitruvia guitarist from Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania. One of his biggest musical influences is David Gilmour and when he’s not working, he’s usually listening to lo-fi jazz or hip hop, specifically Numb by Linkin Park. Aaron’s favorite part of playing live is the adrenaline rush, heightened senses, increased focus, and flow that comes with it. Before he gets on stage, he drinks some caffeine, locks in his body and brain, mentally runs the set while stretching, and triple checks that his guitar is tuned (so he can avoid his recurring nightmare come true). He’s excited to finally release the album the band has spent years working on perfecting. When the band is on stage, he hopes that the audience is entertained and gets a break from the grind of everyday life — even if just for a little while

Jon is the Vitruvia drummer from Boyertown, PA.The artist that influenced him the most to pursue music is Neil Part. Outside of the band, his personal listening habits don’t stray far from hard rock and metal. Jon’s favorite part of playing live music is the pay off he gets from all of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes and feeding off of the crowd’s energy. He says that although you may not expect it, he and the band make new friends at almost every show. On show days, he is anxious, drinking lots of water, and checking his in-ear monitors at least 5 times. If Jon wasn’t doing music… he’d probably be crying (self-proclaimed). He hopes that people feel a connection to the band’s music and is most excited to release new music in 2026 after what feels like an eternity.

A Message from the Band:
“Changes are made in our lives daily. The best part about change is it opens new avenues to pursue and that is exactly what has come. Music plays a big part in all our lives. If we are going to live by what we listen to, then why not make it positive and uplifting? We do not need negative messages telling us to do things. We need positive messages to uplift us and bring something to everyone's heart. Who can offer this? We can, as we continue to push for a better world.”
