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 (as of now, a three-piece) an alternative rock band blending elements of folk, hard rock, and indie to make something new.
We are grateful to The Rialto for having us, and we can't wait to show you what we can do!
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.
