MASSILLON, OHIO

I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy live performances from these artists.

Indré

Indré is a local band fronted by singer/songwriter and rhythm guitarist Maddie Indré. Her brother Angelo Indré plays keyboards. The band’s current lineup is completed with Sam Merendino on drums and percussion, Dominic Merlitti on bass guitar, and Steve Beck on lead guitar.

The band has recorded and released several singles and at least one full length album.

AKRON, OHIO

Bosephus

Bosephus was a hard rocking band that I photographed at a local show in Kent, Ohio. I got to experience the band thanks to an invite to their bassist, Ron Cerosky, who I had met when he was a part of Akron area Americana band Low Watt Radio.

They were a fun band to watch as they performed all original songs.

I’m not sure if they’re still performing together.

AKRON, OHIO

I’ve enjoyed listening to these Northeast Ohio artists. I believe they all were born, raised, or began their careers locally. I’m not sure of their current performing status.
