Performers include Tyler Hawes and a different featured artist every month.
The featured artist builds a set on a theme of their choice, then writes a brand new original song inspired by that theme. I also write an original song inspired by the artists theme, but then build a different set with a different mystery theme that also fits my new original song. The audience must guess my mystery set theme, and whoever guesses correctly first gets to choose a word or phrase that I must include in my original song at the next show.

Event Details
A seven member pop and rock cover band started in July of 2022 that specializes in 100% live
(no track) music. You’ll enjoy our four-part harmonies as we perform your favorite hits through
the ages. The band is comprised of two lead vocalists, lead guitar, bass guitar, (2) keyboards and
drums. With our electronic drum kit, we can keep our house volume down for small venues,
or boost it for larger gatherings. Most of the band members have known each other for many
years. Several of us share an aviation interest, so we chose the name, “Aviators”. Our catch phrase
is: “Flying by the Seat of our Pants”. Since 2022, we’ve performed for several fund raisers, class
reunions, local bars, and private events.

Event Details
15 60 75 The Numbers has been praised by almost every national music publication and several international publications since the beginning of their 50 years of live performances and recordings. Many fans are under the impression that the band remains obscure by choice. In fact, they have never been offered a contract from any recording company in the industry, ever.
The music “cannot be categorized”, “cannot be defined”, “is too original”. The music industry is not about music anymore. It is about selling products the public can relate to. After all, it is a business. Even “alternative” music has become a label. The founder of the band, Robert Kidney, explains, “The music industry, the media, and the tellsusourvision (TV) are defining for the American public what is good music by only playing and supporting what is profitable. We are taught to disregard everything that is not familiar. We (The Numbers Band) give the people our best. Our effort goes into being creative, unique and original. We define our own sound. There are no rules because we don’t play the game. We are not in it for the game, we’re in it for the music.”
So, the band continues to create and evolve outside of the “Rock & Roll” establishment. The majority of the recordings were financed by friends who loved the music enough to put up their own money. Hundreds of photographs taken of the band in different stages of it’s existence by different amazing people tell a story of intense performances, long nights, and the passing of time. Band members have come and gone, and returned again. Robert sees music as much more than an emotional release or a performance. It is a job, a job for which he demands respect and payment for services.
Robert Kidney picked up a guitar and began teaching himself to play when he 16. He bought a 45 record called Guitar Boogie Shuffle and his cousin, Larren Hesson, taught Robert the licks. He also taught him to play one of his favorite songs, Riders On The Storm. At 17, Robert played solo in coffee houses and also opened for several acts at La Cave in Cleveland such as Linda Rhonstadt and the Stone Ponys and Janis Ian. He never found the time to learn to read music. After a short stint in the service in Chicago, he moved back to northeast Ohio in the spring of 1969. A friend, Gary Hawk, had formed a band called Pig Iron in Wadsworth, Ohio. Robert opened for them at the Akron Art Museum and several band members asked him to come to a rehersal sometime. When Robert did show up, Gary had left the group, and the remaining members wanted him to be their front man. Robert changed the name of the band to 15 60 75.
The title of the band has always aroused curiosity from fans. The fans called them The Numbers because it was easier than trying to get the figures right. Numbers had not been used in a name before, and the political climate in 1970 was quite Orwell-ian. Robert choose a sequence of numbers mentioned in a book written by Paul Oliver called The Blues Fell This Morning. In the chapter “The Jinx Is On Me”, Oliver describes the Numbers Racket popular in Harlem in the 1950s and how dreams were analyzed as number sequences and used for placing bets. The band’s music theory specialist, Terry Hynde, also discovered that 15 divided 15 is 1, 60 divided by 15 is 4, and 75 divided by 15 is 5. In a musician’s world, “1, 4, 5,” is referred to as the “universal progression”.
The band resides in northeast Ohio. They have several recordings under their belt and more music than they can afford to release. Robert has recorded and toured with Anton Fier and his Golden Palominos. Robert and his brother, Jack, have toured Holland twice. The brothers also traveled to London, England in 1998 to perform in the Disastodrome! production by David Thomas. The entire band went to London to perform at the Royal Festival Hall in 2000. For more information on the production, and The Kidney Brothers, go to The Brothers And The Blues Abstract. This band has an incredibly interesting history.

“We are not interested in making hits, we are interested in making history.”

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).

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.

Event Details
The music, art, and business of Rock and Roll is defined by its ephemeral nature of latest trends, fashion, and sounds. One approach is to ride the current wave and attempt to capture lightning in a bottle. Another comes from the passion of creating music with these influences through perseverance, tenacity, and commitment to your craft.
Magic Alex have displayed their dedication and endurance by releasing and performing music every decade since the 90’s, releasing three EP’s on cassette and one on CD in their early career, and a full-length album Trip the Cat in 2016. The power trio line up of Bob Beck, guitars/vocals, Rick LeBlanc, drums, and newest member Shane Beck, bass (and Bob’s son), released their next album It’s All Fine in 2021, expanding on their 70’s classic rock sound. After the release of two singles in 2023, which both charted on the World Indie Music Charts Top 100, Magic Alex welcomed Kristin LeFever, piano/vocals (and Bob’s daughter) and Meriki Mazur, vocals (and Bob’s granddaughter) adding a unique family dynamic to the band.
This new musical direction can be heard on their latest album, Light of a Million Suns, which will be released on vinyl and CD in January of 2026.

Event Details
15 60 75 The Numbers has been praised by almost every national music publication and several international publications since the beginning of their 50 years of live performances and recordings. Many fans are under the impression that the band remains obscure by choice. In fact, they have never been offered a contract from any recording company in the industry, ever.
The music “cannot be categorized”, “cannot be defined”, “is too original”. The music industry is not about music anymore. It is about selling products the public can relate to. After all, it is a business. Even “alternative” music has become a label. The founder of the band, Robert Kidney, explains, “The music industry, the media, and the tellsusourvision (TV) are defining for the American public what is good music by only playing and supporting what is profitable. We are taught to disregard everything that is not familiar. We (The Numbers Band) give the people our best. Our effort goes into being creative, unique and original. We define our own sound. There are no rules because we don’t play the game. We are not in it for the game, we’re in it for the music.”
So, the band continues to create and evolve outside of the “Rock & Roll” establishment. The majority of the recordings were financed by friends who loved the music enough to put up their own money. Hundreds of photographs taken of the band in different stages of it’s existence by different amazing people tell a story of intense performances, long nights, and the passing of time. Band members have come and gone, and returned again. Robert sees music as much more than an emotional release or a performance. It is a job, a job for which he demands respect and payment for services.
Robert Kidney picked up a guitar and began teaching himself to play when he 16. He bought a 45 record called Guitar Boogie Shuffle and his cousin, Larren Hesson, taught Robert the licks. He also taught him to play one of his favorite songs, Riders On The Storm. At 17, Robert played solo in coffee houses and also opened for several acts at La Cave in Cleveland such as Linda Rhonstadt and the Stone Ponys and Janis Ian. He never found the time to learn to read music. After a short stint in the service in Chicago, he moved back to northeast Ohio in the spring of 1969. A friend, Gary Hawk, had formed a band called Pig Iron in Wadsworth, Ohio. Robert opened for them at the Akron Art Museum and several band members asked him to come to a rehersal sometime. When Robert did show up, Gary had left the group, and the remaining members wanted him to be their front man. Robert changed the name of the band to 15 60 75.
The title of the band has always aroused curiosity from fans. The fans called them The Numbers because it was easier than trying to get the figures right. Numbers had not been used in a name before, and the political climate in 1970 was quite Orwell-ian. Robert choose a sequence of numbers mentioned in a book written by Paul Oliver called The Blues Fell This Morning. In the chapter “The Jinx Is On Me”, Oliver describes the Numbers Racket popular in Harlem in the 1950s and how dreams were analyzed as number sequences and used for placing bets. The band’s music theory specialist, Terry Hynde, also discovered that 15 divided 15 is 1, 60 divided by 15 is 4, and 75 divided by 15 is 5. In a musician’s world, “1, 4, 5,” is referred to as the “universal progression”.
The band resides in northeast Ohio. They have several recordings under their belt and more music than they can afford to release. Robert has recorded and toured with Anton Fier and his Golden Palominos. Robert and his brother, Jack, have toured Holland twice. The brothers also traveled to London, England in 1998 to perform in the Disastodrome! production by David Thomas. The entire band went to London to perform at the Royal Festival Hall in 2000. For more information on the production, and The Kidney Brothers, go to The Brothers And The Blues Abstract. This band has an incredibly interesting history. Continue with reading Modern Is Just Old Hat Chromed. A History., or better yet, go to The Schedule and check them out live.
“We are not interested in making hits, we are interested in making history.”

CRAIG BELL: From pre-punk anthems to streetwise social commentary to timeless pop, Craig’s career as a musician/singer/songwriter now spans five decades and a long list of bands. From Cleveland, Ohio, to New Haven, Connecticut, and presently Indianapolis, Indiana, Craig continues to perform and record.
Craig’s catalog of recordings is impressive: albums by Mirrors and Rocket From the Tombs; two singles with Saucers, (1979-1980); songs by Saucers and the Plan on the compilation LP It Happened But Nobody Noticed (1982, reissued on CD 2008); a single by The Plan (1983); the Bell System’s “America Now” (on the radio-station-only SCREAM promo LP in 1985); What We Did, a 2002 CD of Saucers studio recordings released by Grand Theft Audio of Los Angeles; a CD EP Second Saucer (2009), a reunion of members of Saucers; as well as a CD (America Now), CD EP (Beehunter), and two singles by the Down-fi (2008-2014).
There was still more unreleased material in the archives, some of which saw the light of day on aka Darwin Layne, released by ever/never Records in 2016. And in 2018, Rerun Records released a vinyl collection of Saucers recordings, Third Saucer From The Sun.
In 2020 Craig released his first solo album, The Room In My Head.
Craig Bell & The Dead Man’s Handle is currently taking some of these songs on the road along with their new album released in 2024, From A Distance
Don’t miss this rare chance to see and hear a living legend.
Akron’s Bizarros had substantial impact on the early indie scene, through their hard-edged records and singer Nick Nicholis’s Clone label, which released records by The Waitresses, Human Switchboard and others. In a classic case of bridesmaidery, the Bizarros – who reformed in the 21st century – were more influential than popular. Playing serious, intense, sometimes hypnotic rock with poetically inclined verbiage and pre-Gang of Four jabbing guitars, Bizarros music was strong and affecting. Their half of From Akron (a 1977 album they shared with Rubber City Rebels) is pretty raw and hard to enjoy.
But by the time of their 1979 self-titled album (released by a major label, self-produced with an engineer, wrapped in strictly amateur artwork) the band had developed considerable polish, which they used to good advantage without compromising their strength. Five subsequent releases followed, the last in 1981, and The Bizarros took a 23-year hiatus, reemerging in 2003 with You Can’t Fight Your Way Up Town From Here.

WHAT: We’re opening our stage on (most) Wednesday nights to artists and bands who want to hone their craft on stage in front of an audience; work on stage presence and banter, try out new material, have a live practice, make connections.

VENUE SUPPORT. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 1. You don’t have to haul (all of) your gear. Our house backline will be set for you to use (see details below). 2. We provide professional house sound, lighting and a live sound engineer. 3. We provide – in addition to what you’ll be doing – promotional support (website, e-blasts, socials, radio spot mentions) for your appearance. 4. We’re going to pay you (30% of sales during your time slot).
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO? Send us your info & sign-up using THIS FORM. Check the CALENDAR. Choose three date options and a time slot. Complete the form. Upload materials. Hit submit. We’ll lock it in and email you to confirm. Please DO NOT drop in, call, message through socials. Use the form.

MORE DETAILS: There are three 45-minute time slots each night. Yes – you can choose more than one time slot and play longer if you’d like.

Performers include Tyler Hawes and a different featured artist every month.
The featured artist builds a set on a theme of their choice, then writes a brand new original song inspired by that theme. I also write an original song inspired by the artists theme, but then build a different set with a different mystery theme that also fits my new original song. The audience must guess my mystery set theme, and whoever guesses correctly first gets to choose a word or phrase that I must include in my original song at the next show.
