Live music featuring the bands:
Tropidelic:
From the underbelly of Cleveland's blackened music scene rises a brazen group of innovators on a quest to crumble the walls of a genre and stimulate a new generation of creative minds. Reggae-rockers, Tropidelic, untie the knots of expectation and sow together hip-hop, funk and ska in a seamless display of unbridled realism, pulling from an amalgamation of influence never before seen in the cold Midwest. The end result is an in-your-face party suited for the laid back festival-goer as much as the aggressive listener or seasoned music enthusiast.
Their prowess and allure have landed them on shows and festivals like Warped Tour and Florida Music Festival, as well as with acts as diverse as The Wailers, John Browns Body, Pepper, OAR, Badfish, Afroman, Passafire, Ballyhoo!, Mike Pinto and many more.
Impressionistic and consuming, like a beam of light, Tropidelic rips through the lackluster cave that is today's stale music landscape, planting the flag for a new age of original artists.
Leah Lou
Leah Lou loves you and she also loves food. She’ll sing some tunes about stupid dudes Who broke her heart, and puked on her shoes. And fake flew to the moon in a big huge balloon.
Simply, some songs about some stuff that happens sometimes
Ashes
Coming together from vastly different musical backgrounds, each band member of Ashes adds their own flare to the group, creating a colorful musical ensemble that cannot be tagged to just one genre. Centered on the backbone of acoustic guitar, the sound builds from there with the addition of percussion, piano, cello, banjo, mandolin, and bass. The strong instrumental basis is met by a powerful lyrical collection that seeks to personally involve the feelings of the listeners. Ashes' music stems from the love of those who influence their lives every day. The music they play is affected more by the people who inspire them than the music they listen to. The band aims to create a connection with the audience and provide a live performance that begs to be experienced, not just observed.
