Norman Nardini has never had a day job, and he's a legendary music figure in his hometown, Pittsburgh. In the inaugural episode of Loud and Sure of Myself, Norman tells host Gerry Stanek how he got his career off the ground, the path to a top thirty single in 1975 with the band Diamond Reo. Nardini has had a varied and interesting path since then, including the formation of Norman Nardini and the Tigers in the early 80s, and the flirtations with major success that followed. He has never stopped performing and continues to create and record new music.
