ReCoyle is composed of five local musicians.  

Peggy Coyle has been singing in the Akron area for many years, most notably 20 years with Phil Palumbo. Tom Work has just retired from 1964 The Tribute, after spending 40 years playing the role of George Harrison. Larry Davis has been in the area working, for the last 12 years he performed at Szalays on Sundays with Tucker,Davis and Block.   Greg Gibson has been in the area all his life playing in many local bands, currently with the Gene Fiocca Group and the Akron Big Band.  Frank Margida has spent his entire life in the Akron area performing with local groups, including the Danjo Jazz Orchestra and the Gene Fiocca band.  Also, all 5 of these musicians perform with the NEO Jazz Orchestra.

On the SURFace (yes, we did that), Golems of the Red Planet take selections from John Zorn’s Masada and send them crashing through the reverb tank of a surf band.

Featuring members of Tin Huey, Half Cleveland, The HiFis, Unit 5, The Pointless Orchestra, Trial of Lucy and Flying Carpet People, this is very much not a normal band — and has no intention of becoming one.

Originally a studio-only project, the Golems are celebrating the release of their Hey Day Again album Surf Masada by taking it to the stage.

Turning up? Absolutely. Tuning up? Maybe. Either way… SURF’S UP (we regret nothing).

Jupiter2 Intergalactic Surf & Turf

Jupiter 2 is a three-piece instrumental caper, fusing the echo-soaked swagger of surf rock with the hypnotic pulse of deep-space grooves. Emerging from Akron, Ohio’s underground scene, the band features drummer Mark Smith (Dutch Babies, Nite Klub, X_x), guitarist James Millar (Missile Toe, Peep), and bassist Linda Millar (The Crones, Peep)—all veterans of genre-bending projects like Zen Luv Assassins and the F-Models tribute band, S’Not Right.

Their sound is a cinematic collision of vintage sci-fi soundscapes, relentless rhythms, and otherworldly energy—equal parts beach party and alien abduction. Whether you’re catching a wave on some distant ocean planet or navigating Akron’s Route 8 at warp speed, Jupiter 2’s Intergalactic Surf & Turf is the ultimate soundtrack for your next cosmic adventure.

Comprised of some of the finest musicians in the region including Bill Skinner, Chuck Martinez, Doug Barber, Ryan Jacobs, Anna Cole and Becky Plush, NightWork performs songs everyone can dance to and knows and loves: R&B, Motown, Classic Rock, Country and Blues!

7:15PM: SUDDEN MIDDLE-AGED DEATH SYNDROME: Akron-based Sudden Middle-Aged Death Syndrome (SMADS) is a collective of four friends and music fans focused on having fun and sharing some of their favorite songs.

With original music in the works, SMADS continues to expand its repertoire. Since forming in 2023, the band has performed at Buzzbin, Jenks Building, The Matinee, Jilly’s Open Mic Nights and during the 2025 Highland Square Holiday Stroll.
