In our 84th episode, we reunite with The Chewy Center after our LoCLE Grown From Home episode back in 2020. These guys have been a huge part of the music scene for many years, but their newest album "Janet Flight" has really become their proudest and most uniquely "them" project yet. The coolest thing about The Chewy Center is that they have never replaced a band member, only adding on new ones. Now a 5-piece band, they have began to draw the attention of the fans they are trying to attract - the dads of Cleveland.We talk a lot about the tracks that make up the entire story of "Janet Flight", specifically about what a Janet Flight is and how the idea of it has influenced this concept album. Now with this project out, their next move is to reinvent a couple covers to get the creative juices flowing!

With the release of their debut album just this past weekend, we welcomed Lake Philly into the studio to talk about the dedication and hard work they've put in over the past year to carve out their own niche in the local music scene. Lead vocalist and guitarist AJ shares insights into the deceptively complex songwriting process, why "Good Things Last" stands out as one of his favorites from the album, and his thoughts on why mascoted characters just don't resonate with him.We also dive into the "genealogy of rock" (Mom, Dad, Aunt, Cousin…) and reveal a startling truth about which band member isn't a fan of Steely Dan—a revelation that raises some eyebrows among the rest of the group.

In this episode, we dive deep with Enzo and Eric of Illest Villains, a rap duo whose musical journey has been nothing short of legendary. From recording their earliest tracks under a blanket to performing on stage in San Francisco, these guys have really found a way through the past few years by leaning into their unique style and reaching out to some of their favorite artists to record with.We also hit on some great memories including when they inspired Jurbz's brother at a show and that universal experience of listening to an indie album on vinyl in high school.

From Madstarr last week to JET STAR this week, we are truly talking to some artists that are out of this world. This interview has us in a bit of a tizzy, JET STAR inspires us with her story of rising from her literal death bed and performing her first gig the day after her predicted death date. She has a beautiful outlook on life - that everyone is worthy of having a good time - and weaves that energy into each song she releases and every word she says.We also get our first mom in the studio who has some wonderful things to say, healing every inner child across the board. Hearing about JET STAR's background and upbringing provides us with so much more insight as to how this beautiful soul came to be (guess which artist's song made her cry at 5 years old). We also talk about a trip to AND in California, the infamous story of the exploding tour van, and sing the praises of the Underdog, Garage Band.Thank you, JET STAR, for opening up and sharing your impactful messages with us!

This week, we sat down with alternative hip-hop artist Madstarr for what may be a bit of an unhinged episode. Covering an array of random topics - from day jobs, to finding the beauty in adulthood when it feels so good to cancel plans. We unpack some of the cringiest times in the late 2000's, from Myspace to that one Tyler, The Creator music video we can't forget. After a music hiatus of 6 years, Madstarr shares that collaborating with Jinari Kemet sparked the flame of making and creating hip-hop music. (Peep our episode with him and you'll understand why too!) Go stream Madstarr's most recent album "Cruel Fate's Anonymous" on all streaming platforms!

With Everwild happening this weekend, we thought it was the perfect time to catch up with the Cleveland band that started it all, Tropidelic. They reflect on the time when it was a simple pool party to the amazing event it is today, attracting thousands of people to Legend Valley in August each year.Joining us at Rock and Roll City Studios opened a floodgate of memories for the founder of the band, Roads, of when the band was still in its early days. He advises to keep pushing through any difficulties to get to that 10-year milestone when the results of your labor really start to show. These guys laid heavy groundwork to get to this point, from making waves before and after sets, to showing up at the RNC to cause a commotion. They are entertainers first and foremost, but we are also proud to call them Clevelanders.After a two-year wait, their brand new album "Royal Grove" is on all streaming platforms, and it's widely agreed to be their best work yet. Stream it everywhere now, and listen to this episode for a LoCLE Grown LEAK on when and where their next show is in Cleveland! Follow Tropidelic and Everwild to see what they do next!SONG PLAYED:Humble (ft. The Palmer Squares)We are excited to announce that Circle K has become the first official sponsor of LoCLE Grown!

This episode is a special treat, recorded at the stunning Pop Shell Studios on Superior in preparation for the Post Saga Wine Night on April 27th. To hype up the release of their first EP in years, "Paradise Island", we sat down with our incredibly talented friend (and pseudo LG sound engineer), Danna O'Connor of Post Saga. She, with the help of Pop Shell Studios, The Room, Korey Smerk and yours truly, organized and executed an awesome event back in April to boost awareness of Post Saga's new music dropping on July 27th.The wine night was a hit, attracting marketers, venue bookers, artists, and other music industry professionals to witness the live debut of the EP. Danna shares her vision for the event and the importance of bridging the gap between artists and industry pros. You'll get an exclusive listen to some of these songs before the EP drops on the 27th!Of course, we couldn't resist our usual tangents, covering the hot button items like Shakira and Pirates of the Caribbean, but in the end it's always so much fun talking about the passion behind music, and Danna's perspective of it is truly inspiring.Watch the video performance from the wine night on our YouTube and follow Post Saga to hear 'Paradise Island' or catch them at a show!

We go down the rabbit hole and are unsure if we ever come out by the end of this episode. Cleveland hip hop artist Pico the Guy Tho is an absolute blast - his storytelling and amazing dry humor is a combo that keeps us on our toes this whole episode. With him, his accomplice and longtime friend, manager, you name it, Trikki D - creator of Cleveland clothing line that has been sported by many on stage, $herby Gang (who is working on a new collab with Shway Papers, more on that soon!).This chat contains pretty much everything you can think of - from historical hip hop beef to musicals and a dash of Country Boy Twang. Pico also looks back on some of his favorite onstage antics he has done in the past, his favorite venues to perform at and some killer collaborations he's been working on with other Cleveland creatives.Pico has been cooking up an album that will be dropping later this summer called "The Deep End", but check out his latest single "Proper" on all platforms including a music video on YouTube, and follow him on Instagram to get hip to the latest and greatest.Also huge shoutout to $herby Gang, this brand is so meaningful to us and the Cleveland music and arts scene.

In honor of the 4th of July weekend, we had the one and only Unkle Samm in the studio for this awesome episode. We go back with Unkle Samm, and seeing where he is artistically now compared to where he was when we had first met him in 2019 is so inspiring. This year, he bet on himself and became a full-time artist. From his experiences, he shares with us some insight and tips on making that leap.Before this, he spent the past 5+ years traveling to and living in some major cities in the U.S. for work, and creatively promoted his music along the way. It wasn't until living in Cleveland that he really was able to find his people, grow his confidence, and truly build the Unkle Samm brand. We talk about how he filmed many music videos here in Cleveland, the humiliation of filming one in public, and Jurbz using some behind-the-scenes footage from a music video as content on her Hinge profile (PS, it kinda worked!).He will be releasing a single this month and is currently taking pre-orders for new merch, so follow him on Instagram and send him a DM to get yours!

We've been chewing on what questions we wanted to ask Joey of False Teeth for quite a while now, and the time has finally come. So, naturally we share our own False Teeth stories (i.e. recalling times we have seen actual false teeth, shoutout grandparents). We also reminisce on the shared childhood experience of enjoying a crisp Code Red on a summer's day and talk about the behind the scenes at False Teeth's most recent big show - the Solon Summer Camp Fest at crobar.Joey shares some 'sound' advice for artists performing at small venues and while exposure is an intangible asset, you still need to know your worth when it comes to gigging. Plus, we have Joey break down the first half of newest song "Colder Than Hell"  and tell us about their live taping of the iconic 2023 EP "Live! At Scranton Dental". Guys, you don't need therapy – you just need to listen to False Teeth.  Thank you, Joey, and of course the Dog Funk Allstars, for adding your flavor of music into the Cleveland music scene!

In her first interview ever, Ciix opens up a little bit about her past and how it has brought her to today and becoming a frequent flyer in the Cleveland music community, from hosting the monthly Soundchecks at the iconic 27 Club, to performing with various artists around town such as Mikey Silas and Max Schlenk. Known around town for her tattoos and soulful voice, Ciix is truly hitting us with immaculate vibes today that lead us to laugh, cry, and try out some really bad accents. We also get into the very deep story behind her single "27" and how unapologetically raw it is to drop this specific song as her debut track. Ciix comes out swinging in this powerful new song and together we explore the concept that you are not your emotions—they're just something you feel.Thank you, Ciix! Please listen to "27" on all platforms and stay in touch with her this year as she releases more new music and gigs around Cleveland.

In this glorious episode, we dive deep into the vibrant world of Cleveland hip hop with none other than the legendary Domingo Kite!From tearing it up in Twead suits to dropping tracks that'll make your grandma breakdance, Domingo's journey is nothing short of entertaining to say the least. But before we get into the juicy bits, let's rewind to where it all began.Picture this: Cleveland, July 2023. Domingo steps onto the stage for his very first performance, surrounded by the likes of Jinari Kemet, MADSTARR, and TobyRaps. Fast forward to today, and Domingo has experienced countless full circle moments that lead up to the very interview you're about to hear. His upcoming mixtape will be releasing in the fall, and from the sounds of it, it's about to get WEIRD, so buckle up buttercups. Domingo Kite is an absolute treasure and these stories are a great testament to the impact he has made on Cleveland music today.Thanks Domingo!

It is kind of funny that the interviews where we meet the artist for the first time in our studio always end up being absolute riots. Today, we are joined by Clare Feorene, singer/songwriter with a mesmerizing voice and amazing sense of humor. We really speed run through our relationship in these 50 or so minutes and learn about her skills of fanning fog machines, being lost in a desert, and the first song (jingle?) she ever wrote.Clare has incredible stories and we know we are only scratching the surface in this chat, so listen to her album Peculiar Places to get a deeper look into the magic that is Clare Feorene.

Hope you all are having a great Memorial Day Weekend! We invited long-time friends of the show The Baker's Basement into the studio to talk about their upcoming album "Down Down Domino", releasing in November, and plenty of other topics we needed to catch up on. The Baker's Basement have been a part of the show since it's first month when we were still on the radio, and have seen us in many phases and adaptations.Adam and Kate have a wildly interesting approach to songwriting and music in general. We shoutout all birds of the world and discuss the utilization of all the rooms in their house for recording purposes.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, and we have a Mother of an episode this week with AllTheHipe and Astral Housefly. We have known this duo for quite some time, so this interview gets a little chaotic as we cover all the important topics: from The Golden Age of YouTube to the art of the Slav Squat. At the same time, we do recount last summer's debauchery at Everwild when we were camping neighbors and how they opened up the entire festival weekend as well as how the dynamic between these two has developed over their many years together. This episode was an absolute blast filled with lots of laughs and potentially a few personal jabs...you gotta listen in on this one. New music coming soon including a single called "No White Flags".

We talk to the Cole Slaw City Boy himself, Jake Briggs! Jake is a musician in Cleveland who has his hand in many buckets - from his solo work to playing in professional ensembles in the Cleveland area (one even being dedicated to video game music!). His music can be comedic, sensitive, intense or melodious, and no matter what it is always 100% his own and will speak to some part of your heart. In this chat, we unveil the JLaird rebrand (it's going to take some time), dish on some of that Taylor Swift drama (which we know nothing about), discuss how dissecting your own lyrics help with self reflection, and we may jerk some tears.Catch Jake Briggs at a show near you, he is always out and about and ready to collab!

We start this episode off with a toast to the longest anticipated interview so far for our show, as we had plans to meet with Joey Aich since the show was on the radio 2+ years ago! Finally, the time has come and it was well worth the wait, as Joey is on the tail end of his Aich Madness tour and gearing up for a new wave of music to be released (plus a completely new project under a new alias, as well!). This episode is chalk full of inspiring stories and lessons Joey has experienced, from opening up for Freddie Gibbs and IDK to teaching songwriting to young aspiring artists.

We started it off HOT with talking about the Civil War in this episode with Fruitfly! And it only gets better from there.  Since their debut album "Running on Fumes" in 2021, Fruitfly has been evolving and recontextualising their sound, and now their second album "When the Weather is Nice" will be releasing April 12th!In this episode, we chat about the upcoming album and tour that will be following, and have a business proposal for a Fruit Ninja sponsorship. Each song in this album is different from the last, one being in 13:8 (music nerds - you know what we're talking about) and how the overall tone of the album comments on the way our moods change with the season, but there are things you can hold onto through the rough times to get you through them. We also shoutout their Band Besties from Buffalo (Starjuice) and discuss the importance of having someone show you the ropes in this industry.Follow Fruitfly on Instagram to stay plugged into everything they're doing, and check out their super cool website, fruitflymusic.com.

Today we said "Aww Yeah!" to Richard Candow, a.k.a. RC3, who you may remember was a guest on our episode with ZuP a few months ago, and we had such a great time we had to invite him back to talk more about his experiences this past year as a DJ for the local hip hop scene and playing his own mixes, too! In his words, he's been a pain in the ass his entire life and staying true to the brand, so this was naturally a very fun episode to record. Then we get a little deep and talk about his newly released track with ZuP and James Begin, "Glizzys", and how he has found himself on a mental wellness journey that has inspired a new mantra.Check out this amazing 30 minute set at the end of this episode, featuring almost exclusively Cleveland rappers, and make sure to follow him on Instagram to learn more about this awesome dude and what he has in store for us next!Thanks, again RC3!RC3 SET TRACKLIST:Predictable Heights - TobyrapsI Got Time - James BeginMission - Roads IcarusAt The Map Room - CiceroTHIS IS CRAZY - AllTheHipeLightning Rod - ZuPInterior Crocodile Alligator - Chip Tha RipperBumpin My Music - Ray CashReturn To Sender - Malik XWho Want It - Jinari KemetCLE Cruisin' - Aaron JamesPssst we now have a Patreon!

In this episode, we welcomed Skuff Micksun into the studio for an extended session (honest S/O to the band rehearsing next door that caused us to delay the recording, because we got to kick it with him for most of the day). We sat down and covered stories including haunted houses and dental work (one and the same??), and on a more serious note his artistic background and how his poetry turned into lyricism. We also get deep on that fact that life is a comedy. Sometimes a dark one, but still a comedy nonetheless. We're cheers'ing to feeling New Years-y and looking forward to the “things we've always said”. Thank you, Skuff Micksun for joining us in the studio!

Today's episode is coming to you a little different but for great reasons. We have upped our podcasting game big time with some more visual elements (check out our YouTube) and an amazing technician working  behind the scenes, Danna O'Connor of Post Saga. To kick it off in this new realm, we were joined in the LG Studios by Marcus Smith and The Rapscallions and we also spill our drinks twice (and a third time before we even started recording).Marcus Smith aka The Sandwich King of Cleveland has been involved in the local music scene for quite some time, and is adored by many people in the city. We show a lot of love to some mutual friends between us and discuss the success of his most recent full length album, Unique Mélange (one song from which has an amazing story involving blowing Ben Folds's mind). We also may have just saved Rock N Roll?? Of course, it's not a true Marcus Smith episode if we don't get into a discussion about sandwiches (Urban Twine - if you're listening, please bring back the Marcus Smith).

This week we welcomed Rico Blu into the studio, as we were able to catch him over the weekend while he was in CLE! We kicked off his first podcast interview with the most important sports topic of conversation (The Superbowl) that we in fact did not watch. On a more serious note, we got to chat about starting in the Cleveland music scene and how it compares to Pittsburgh, where he resides now.  We also celebrated Rico turning 27, and share some of our favorite birthday memories.Fu*k the chapter, we're opening up a new book. Rico shared with us his new woman and children streetwear collection that he'll be releasing called CLAY, (carry love around you)!
