A casual chat and live performance with underground artists and those who have made Cleveland/ Northeast Ohio a place to call home or a stop along the way. Great music sprouts from underground, we are all LoCLE Grown!
"I'm about to play this $25 guitar on this really bad amp and i'm gonna scream and you can't stop me."
Danna informs Funeral Proposals that their "Beach Song" music video won a major award a while back, and we decide that if you have strong opinions or a lot to say, either go into music, podcasting, or get a trombone.

Fresh off performing for thousands at the Southeast Asian Festival last month, What’s His Face stops by to talk about his journey from California to Cleveland and how hip hop, food, and breakdancing shaped his sound and his story.

Michael also treated us to fresh, never-before-heard versions of tra...

The first half takes place in our studio as we dive into Makayla’s love for reggae and ska music that led her to creating Rockstead...
