Karl Batman & The Ohio 94 Band
My name is Karl Batman, self taught guitarist and singer/composer; coming to you guys with my big band “The Ohio 94”! I come from blue collar agrarian roots, and aim to encapsulate the under appreciated Midwestern Heartland culture in my music I write. Distinguished Rock n Roll sound and rhythm paired with Country writing and folk instruments, The Ohio 94 is a sight to see. I am a firm believer that hard living makes the best music; so come show out and have the best time at our appearance at the Rialto this June!
“You sound just like Zach Bryan”
Glass Monarch
Glass Monarch is a rock duo based in Akron, classic songwriting with new sounds.
Gas Station Lullabies
Gas Station Lullabies is an independent blues rock quartet hailing from Southern Ohio. Combining a multitude of musical backgrounds and interests, members Noah Clifton (vocals, guitar), Jayden Steele (vocals, keyboard), Blaise Reader III (bass guitar, guitar), and Jakob Stephens (percussion) form a captivating and genuine ensemble that creates a vivid soundscape of their individual musical sensibilities and personal backgrounds.
The band's original material offers up a variety of sounds and storytelling, ranging from sassy and strutting rock pieces full of grit, to vulnerable, airy ballads, as well as cheery, indie ear-worms. Despite the wide range of sonic possibilities that can come from the band's originals, a great sense of cohesion is found in lead songwriter Noah Clifton's poignant-but-relatable lyricism across every piece. And when the band ventures out to a cover tune, the sensible quartet maintains the spirit of the song while bringing their own take and sound to the piece that's recognizably GSL.
Andrew Lee
I'm a relative novice in the Akron music scene. I started out playing covers which led to me writing my own original material. I tend to lean into my personal stories when writing songs. I still love playing covers in fun interesting ways.
