SURVIVOR

The history of Survivor is one of challenge, change and choice without ever losing sight of the band's musical vision or its fans. The Band started in 1977 in Chicago and after some modest success they hit it big with one of the most memorable rock anthems ever… EYE OF THE TIGER!

The massive hit “Eye of The Tiger” from the great movie ROCKY 3 spent seven weeks at the #1 spot on the U.S. charts. The song won a Grammy®, an Oscar® nomination and was voted “Best New Song” by the Peoples Choice Awards. After that song came a string of hits including the huge power ballad “The Search Is Over”, and the rockin’ tune I Can’t Hold Back.

Survivor has continued to tour and release great new records all with their signature Soaring Vocals, Melodic Guitars and Memorable Hooks!

Donnie Iris & The Cruisers

Donnie Iris is generally considered to be the best screamer in rock and roll. He is now an elder statesman of rock and roll. No young singer has yet upstaged him; no one ever will. Donnie is the real deal, both as a man and as a singer. He is a simple guy who wears a smile and loves his friends and his family. Life is better when Donnie is around.

If you’ve never been to a Donnie Iris and the Cruisers concert, what are you waiting for?

Joe Grushecky & The House Rockers

From the Iron City Houserockers of 1979 to the current incarnation of The Houserockers, this band has always been one of America's hardest working rock and roll bands. A Rolling Stone review once echoed the words "they are up there with Springsteen, Petty and Seger". Pretty good company, don't you think?! From Love's So Tough to A Good Life, the band has changed but the music remains true to their Pittsburgh, Steeltown roots! Hard edged, rock and roll with fine lyrics from the ringmaster, Mr. Joe Grushecky. More than just a "bar band", a Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers show is one of the best shows you will see, hands down!

Norm Nardini & The Tigers

Mr. Nardini was one of the pioneers of Pittsburgh's original rock scene as a member of the mid-'70s glam-rock band Diamond Reo. From there he went on to become a bar-rock warrior, leading the gritty Norm Nardini and the Tigers, a CBS Records band in the early '80s.

Nardini and the Tigers is the fourth piece of the puzzle from that fabled '80s scene that starred the Iron City Houserockers, The Silencers and Donnie Iris and the Cruisers.

Wet Lemon

Conceived in the fall of 2007, David Williams, Kirk Tenney and Kevin Jaskowick set out to do what no other band was doing then… and that was to give a rapid fire one song after another concert style classic dance party rock show. The set list is an eclectic mix of music that covers several genre’s of musical styles ranging from AC/DC to ZZ Top. Wet Lemon takes a full throttle approach to playing each show and is always a crowd pleaser.

The Huckin' Fillbillys

The Huckin’ Fillbillys are a rock-n-roll band from Northeast Ohio comprised of 5 members: Elvis McCoy (Jimmi Miglozzi) on lead vocals, Cletus Moon (Ronnie Williams) on guitars and backing vocals, Edsel McGillis (Garry Palcisco) on bass and backing vocals, Tater Jenkins (Dustin Isaac) on drums, and Jerry Lee Hatfield (Walt Stec) on keyboards. The band’s members are veterans of the Northeast Ohio music scene. Ronnie, Jimmi, and Garry all come from the mega-popular early 90's hard-rock band, Lazarus. Walt played bass for a Godsmack/Alice In Chains tribute band, Smack Alice and Dustin Isaac was the former drummer for the Akron, Ohio based Guns-N-Roses tribute band, Appetite for Destruction. The Huckin’ Fillbillys started out as a cover band, covering standards such as Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, AC/DC, and Foreigner but as fate would have it, the writing itch came to ‘em and the boys started writing material for their debut album, “Hicks, Chicks, and Lunatics.”

Love Turns Hate

Love Turns Hate hails from The Steel Valley of Youngstown Ohio. The band was born as a joint effort of songwriters Jimmi Migliozzi (Vocals) and Tony Young (Guitars). Out of the ashes of a previous collaboration they rejoined forces along with Brady Brownlee (Guitars), Don Kacenski (Bass) and Leif Damstoft (Drums). They then launched their high energy live assault into the hard rock scene of Y-Town and surrounding areas, quickly building a loyal and rock solid following. At The Music Is Art/David Grohl Alley Dedication they had the honor of having Dave Grohl join them on stage to rock out one of their own original tunes, “Get Away.” This event has given them world wide coverage, including an honorable mention in the Sept 2009 issue of ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE! They were chosen by KISS to be the opening band for the rock legends at their Blossom Music Center show…a night never to be forgotten. Doors are opening and they are actively pursuing their place as national recording artists.

Cherry Wine

Cherry Wine is Ohio's hottest new dance and party band. Fresh as an ensemble, but all experienced veterans on the local scene - this quintet of talented musicians plays all the best 80's pop, R&B, and freestyle dance hits of the decadent 80's and shamelessly makes it fun, even invigorating, to relive the music of our not-so-distant past.

Combining their exceptional musicianship and stellar vocals with an electrifying light show, the group distinctly sets itself apart. The diverse and talented lineup creates a rare and unique chemistry that will ignite even the toughest crowds. This not-so-typical cover band lives to satisfy!

Haymaker

Collectively, Haymaker has been involved in the music scene in northeast Ohio for a combined 75 years. They are the founding members of such legendary bands as Hard Luck, Lazarus, Dilligaf, The Huckin' Fillbilies, Scarlet Picnic, Binge, OnSlot, Nightcrawler, Razer, and Live Animals. They have combined forces into the most experienced and talented band since Mosquito Lake was a creek.

Oral

Get ready for a whole new generation of rock music. At the forefront is the band Oral. Their unique sound is bound to raise head banging tendencies, with a rock groove that is not too overwhelming, yet hardcore enough to get you hooked. Steven Paul on guitar and vocals is the original member of Oral, joined by drummer Billy Werner, and Mike Chomas on vocals and bass. The band has been together for about 5 years, and only gets better throughout the years. Oral has two CDs out, the first being Diversity, and the second entitled Word of Mouth, released in 2007. They have also won 93.7’s Battle for Ozzfest in 2006 in Pittsburgh, in addition to opening for various national headliners.

The Devize

In 2009 four uniquely talented artists from a wide variety of musical backgrounds came together to form a new kind of band. With great singing to melodic passages vocalist Andrew Krakowski has what it takes, separating The Devize from The traditional hard rock sound. Al Faulkner brings a new comprehension of rock guitar playing, with dark blues and bone crushing riffs to the form that signature sound. Jeff Morrow true to the hand and foot coordination take hard rock and metal drumming to the next level. Bassist Andre Fedak's unique approach and tone, brings the thunderous, tight rhythmic bottom end that defines the bands unmatched energy.

Watch for The Devize they are gonna rock your world and are coming to a stage near you!

Red Sun Rising

Red Sun Rising is a high energy four piece from Akron, OH. With a mix of heavy and melodic song writing they continue to captivate audiences and critics alike. Red Sun Rising is not today’s hard rock, it's a new hard rock and a new alternative. Releasing the album "Making Of Kings" at the Akron Civic Theater was a huge step and this band will keep moving forward.

Mortisha's Secret

Alternative music to the max. Mortisha's Secret covers a wide array of various styles. They are definitely not all one vein. From driving rock to ballads - great lyrics and vocals front a powerful blend of music with excellent covers of '80s tunes.

Bleeding Soul

A compelling, tight knit sound. Songs about the good and the bad. With a style that can be best described as controlled chaos, this band outshines the normality trend. They are the orphans from bands long gone who now have a domain writing their own stuff; an empire of hit making originals. Whether it be through live performances or from their long awaited cd breakthrough "Working Class Re-Run," the purpose is simply this...."It's about the music."
