Jared Mondelli is one of the original hosts of Red Fades to Black and has been with the show since its inception in 2003. A 22 year old student at La Salle University he is often the business mind behind RFTB always looking for ways to bring RFTB to more and more rockers, metal fans, and those who crave good music. As Jared has said, 'Many people are tired of all this bland corporate radio and so called rock . I helped start RFTB because I was tired of it too, we strive to bring out the best in the rock world, from local unknowns to underplayed greats...its just what drives us'. In addition to hosting RFTB, he is also Music Director at WEXP Radio, a bass player, and pursues other interests such as biking and writing. His return in early 2005 marks the 4th season he will be with RFTB.
