MAID MYRIAD Band Members Jeff "JCK" Klemm / Greg Meisenberg / Mario Tonathy Boasting a beautiful but potent style of post-progressive/alternative/pop they like to refer to as kaleidoscope rock, MAID MYRIAD blends dynamically versatile songs, angst-fueled progressive riffs, delicate pin drop moments, and intense start/stop dynamics. The band formed in 2007, quickly solidifying their name within the local scene, receiving heavy regional airplay from their debut EP Embrace, being named Akron’s second best local band in 2010 (behind The Black Keys), logging miles in the van, and opening for such national acts as Primus, Gogol Bordello, Dax Riggs, Michale Graves, Maps & Atlases, As Tall As Lions and more. http://maidmyriad.com/ http://www.twitter.com/maidmyriadhttp://www.reverbnation.com/maidmyriadhttp://nefariousindustries.com/artists/maid-myriad/

Chris Basener plays instrumental groove rock with vibrant melodies, speaking to the cosmopolitan music fan as much as the guitar community. While captivating melodies are always the main focus of his songs, it is not unusual to hear exotic sounding scales next to some country-chicken-picking followed by a gentle and passionate ballad or a driving rock instrumental, that makes you want to punch your fist in the air. What ties all of these elements together are the memorable melodies and the engaging song writing. But with all this colourful diversity, Chris never loses sight of his roots, which are founded in good old rock music – or in other words: He's got one foot in the stratosphere and the other one on planet rock! http://chrisbasener.com/

Nightly Standard Band Members Laura - Vocals | Seth - Vocals/Guitar | Dave - Bass | Mike - Drums | Rocco - Trumpet | Jason - Alto Sax | Josh - Tenor/Baritone Sax Nightly Standard is a seven-piece musical array – a fusion of styles and sound, the integration of rock, soul and jazz with dynamic rhythms, potent lyrics and unforgettable melodies. Powerful lead vocals emerge throughout the harmonies of a brilliantly composed three-piece horn section, all supported by the cadenced complexities of the outfit’s driving rhythmic element. Nightly Standard released their self-titled debut EP in May 2013 to a progression of exceptionally positive reviews and vast support – they have started on a second album with an anticipated release planned for September 2014. www.nightlystandard.com
