In this, the first of a two-parter, we go “Beyond” to the Motor City and San Francisco (among other places) with our guest John Bellas. John is one of the nation’s premier experts on vintage Rock posters, and he has the collection to prove it.

We welcome back Akron Diva Tracey Thomas as she celebrates two major career milestones: Her new album “Words Can’t Save Us Now”, and the release of her memoir “Little Miss Akron”!

Both the album and book were done with the support of singer/songwriter/honkytonker Ryan Humbert, who also joins the conversation.

“Words Can’t Save Us Now” is classic Tracey, featuring new original songs, and great covers of some of her favorites.  The book is a highly readable look at her life - “Little Miss Akron” is an honest, funny, complex, and moving memoir.

We delve deep into both on this revealing and fun episode!

Rock ‘n’ Roll drummer turned entrepreneur, Danny Basone has for years been a major player in downtown Akron.  There was The Lime Spider, a club which featured both National and local bands, and has become legendary for many great shows.  Then, the Lockview, which remains one of best bars and restaurants in town. And now, he’s opened United States Potato Service, a truly unique new eatery.

Maybe you know him from his radio show/podcast REVOLT INTO STYLE. Or from his bands Rainy Day Saints, Death of Samantha, or currently Dave Swanson’s Mystery Airship….

Nick and Bob chat with Kenny Lambert, whose journey from addiction through recovery has resulted in his becoming an in-demand clothing designer, starting his Just A Dad From Akron business in Kenmore, and being a respected community leader.
