EMERGING SOUNDS: EVY LIZ / DRIVER SEAT PASSENGER / ANOTHER DEAD ROCKSTAR - 06/20/24

  • The Rialto Theatre 1000 Kenmore Boulevard Akron, OH 44314 United States (map)

Evy Liz

Evy Liz is a singer/songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio. Each of Evy's songs has simple acoustic soundscapes that elevate her folk/pop style. Her narrative songwriting leads audiences through her journey in a relatable way. Her debut album "Peaks & Valleys" was produced by Dan Konopka (of Grammy award-winning band OK Go) and is available everywhere. The album includes emotionally rich songs that explore themes of home, independence, determination, love, and a dogged commitment to finding joy in life no matter what happens.

Driver Seat Passenger

Driver Seat Passenger (a term an ex would use to describe disassociation) is Wes Swope from Cleveland Ohio.  I started writing songs as a way to cope with a very lonely and difficult period in my life, and started Driver Seat Passenger shortly after. I'm backed on drums by Joe Moore and on bass by Steven Griffith. 

Another Dead Rockstar

Another Dead Rockstar brings maximum sound pressure level in a space saving 3 pc. format. The Cleveland, OH based band recently released its first album:  Recorded and mixed at Suma Recording Studio by multi-platinum award winner Michael Seifert.

Originally formed in 2010, years of "practice makes perfect" have resulted in a unique genre-defying rock sound: Hard and heavy, yet also melodic and dare they say... catchy.

Another Dead Rockstar combines the powerful drumming and singing of Ivo Matic, the massive low-end thump of Rob Parsh on bass, and the melodic growl of Tom Curry on guitar.  Influences include: Alice in Chains, Matthew Good Band, Soundgarden, Rush, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Tool, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and a bunch of 70's, 80’s, and 90’s rock to the present that's too long to list. 

Get to the show early for dinner and drinks from Paninoteca - open in The Rialto Living Room at 5pm!

Doors: 7:00PM / Showtime: 7:30PM
