and playing music for several years now, but finally we have a lineup
of people that work and we are starting to get things done. We are all
self taught. We have been recording our songs, and we still continue to
do so, and maybe we will have a CD sometime soon. Till then were gonna
be playing as many shows as we can! If anyone would like us to play, or
book us leave us a comment or message! We don't really care about money
we just want to have fun and play for people!

his style and ability. After touring the world many times and releasing
some of the best music ever recorded, Garth hung up his hat. Shameless
Country carries on the tradition of solid straight from the heart music
from the homeland. With excellent musicianship and a quality true to

Kevin Wilson in the TimeBomb Wilson Band and once in a while I can also

Hailing
from Youngstown, Ohio, SicKasMe is a three-piece band that cannot be
defined by any known genre. With influences of rock, jazz, blues, and
indie music, this band produces an eclectic sound with a kick. Garrett
Kimmel (bass, keyboard) and Mark Uroseva (drums), having made many
attempts at forming a successful band, found the missing link when
Kianna Cameron (guitar, vocals) attended practice and quickly fit the
mold of frontwoman. Since that time in October 2009, the band has
written nine songs and has played approximately 10 shows in the
Youngstown area. SicKasMe’s first show was a Battle of the Bands where
they took third place only two weeks after forming. The band plans to
continue writing a wide variety of songs and performing at local and
regional venues as much as possible.
Driven
by their experiences, Silence So Loud delivers a fresh blend of pop,
rock, and pure entertainment. Thriving off their creative differences,
the four-piece from Canton, OH, uses their influences and life
experiences to craft together a mix of hard hitting anthems and
soothing ballads sure to appeal to all audiences. Their live show
connects listeners of all ages and displays the work ethic and
dedication each member possesses, while proving time and time again
that energy is contagious and addicting.
Genre: Acoustic / Pop / Funk The
acoustic-based band was born from the Cleveland music scene, and has
been touring the U.S. for the past five years.Their family is their
crowd, it is their band, it is their theology. Most importantly these
guys love what they do, and it shines through every pore while on stage.
Genre: Classic and Modern Rock, Funk,
R&B, Dance, etc Skinny
Moo Skinny Moo has been rocking enthusiastic crowds in nothern Ohio
since 1999, delivering their high-energy versions of songs ranging from
'70s funk and soul to modern rock.
Their engaging,
interactive, and sometimes outlandish style of entertainment often
includes improvised song medleys and clever lyrical substitution, and
has made them one of the must-see acts in and around Cleveland...
That's why we are known as "The world's most dangerous party band"
Genre: Melodic Power Groove
"We are not just a band." This statement has long been echoed in the
bios, press kits, and in interviews of nearly every band out there. But
what does it mean? For Youngstown, Ohio metal band, Skull'Rz Bane, it
means that the emphasis is not only on the music, but the performance
as well. Molding the two together to give the audience a unique
experience is what this band does best.

only one thing, have a great time playing music for their fans. With
dominating drum tracks, upbeat guitar riffs and catchy lyrics you are

tracks stuck in your head for days. SoBeit has played stages all over
Northeast Ohio and shared these stages with hundreds of local bands as

mission is to deliver whole hearted, man-crooning, fist pumping, sheep
shaving music that'll knock a few dollars outta your ATM from 100
yeards away. From Cleveland, we've opened for the misfit(s),
suicide machines, marcy playground, mushroomhead, D.R.I and others that
we don't remember cause it's all a haze...you get the idea.
Genre: Powerpop/Alternative Rock What
once was a band of youthful hope has evolved into mature reality. Music
formed out of love, loss, and life. Artistic expression that comes from
the heart. Nobody wins. Nobody loses. Everyone will feel. Stalemate is
an alternative rock band based out of Cleveland, Ohio. Led by frontman
Jason Kaminski, bassist Phil Martin, and drummer Rob Schuster the band
was originally formed in 2001 under the name Tooth Fuzz. Over time the
band's sound slowly changed so in 2009 they decided it was time for the
name to change with the music. They have built up a regional fan base
by playing around the area with such acts as The Starting Line, The
Ataris, and Madcap. In 2005 the band played the local stage at the
Cleveland Warped Tour. Working on their original songs for the past 8
years has led them to their heartfelt and raw emotional sound of today.
Their latest effort, "Silhouettes & Syllables", displays this path
towards personal freedom of musical expression. With a bold, new
attitude and a different perspective on music Stalemate will ready
itself to embark on a new era.

Sünset
Riöt™ brings the raunchy and decadent sights, sounds, and
smells of LA's notorious 1980's Sunset Strip and throws them in your

Stevie Ray Vaughn, Etta James, Al Green, Delbert McClinton and many
more, their dynamic 2, 3 and 4-part harmonies and vibrant energy will

This
band was formed by Eric Strouble and Aron Rue a few years back in 2005,
I think. Aron and Eric played in bands together over the last 15 years.
We all met while in the band The Most Beautiful Losers.
The
four
members of the band, who were already renowned musicians individually,
met while they were all teaching at School of Rock in Cleveland, and
decided that it was time to take over the world. Slowly but surely,
that seems to be what the group is doing. Currently, SS is gearing up
for a video shoot in January and finishing their debut CD with producer
Bryan Patrick at The Jungle Studio, for which they are already
receiving attention from major labels. In addition to making a
frickin'
sick old-school rock n’ roll album, the band also puts on one of the
best live shows in the business, featuring not only the group’s
chart-worthy original tunes, but some amazing covers from some of
rock’s biggest bands with a very Switchblade Scarlett twist.
