LoCLE Grown

We’re back, and there was no better way to kick off Season 7 than with the other dynamic duo who help make this show happen: Janna O’Conder (aka our great friends and amazing sound engineers, Jake Conder & Danna O'Connor).

For the past two years, they’ve been just as dedicated as we are to bringing this show to life, and we are SO stoked to give you a year of new sounds, fresh perspectives, and local legends.

Thank you, Jake and Danna, for everything you do for us here at LG. We can’t pay these guys, so please give them a follow and support their work!!

"I'm about to play this $25 guitar on this really bad amp and i'm gonna scream and you can't stop me."

Danna informs Funeral Proposals that their "Beach Song" music video won a major award a while back, and we decide that if you have strong opinions or a lot to say, either go into music, podcasting, or get a trombone.

With a couple more shows and a single or two still to come this year, keep it locked by following them on IG!

Fresh off performing for thousands at the Southeast Asian Festival last month, What’s His Face stops by to talk about his journey from California to Cleveland and how hip hop, food, and breakdancing shaped his sound and his story.

We also debut a game made just for him, Green Flag, inspired by his latest song. Stream his music, give him a follow, and be on the lookout for one last single dropping before the upcoming album!

This was a rare setup: just JLaird from LoCLE Grown and Bre-J from Land of Panda holding it down, and a time was HAD! Bre shares some wild stories (it really is Always Something, amiright?) and talks about what’s next for the band with an album on the way early next year.

Catch his solo performance of Land of Panda's latest singles, and keep an ear out for “Rita” and “Memories,” dropping soon ahead of the new album. Thanks again, Bre!

SONGS PERFORMED:

• T-Break
• It's Always Something
• Stay Up (Unreleased)

We're looking at the same thing, but like...I gotta different pair of shades on, now.

Sunshine Studios is usually posted up at shows with his latest rings, clothes, art, and more. This time he joins us in the studio to share his story and his perspective on the local music scene as a vendor, artist, and poet (and now, podcaster).

Stick around for the freestyle at the end, and be sure to follow him on IG to view the current Sunshine Studios collection!

"Hoop with no net? I'm not playin' here." 

We literally could not stop laughing with Recess in this episode and literally had to play ourselves off at the end (midwestern goodbye, but make it a podcast).

Recess has inspiring stories and heartfelt music that both captivates and makes you FEEL things. Their next single, 'Petal', will be releasing soon, but you can catch it first with us at the end of this episode! Thank you Recess!

SONGS PERFORMED:

• Petals

We get deep with the Wistful Bard himself Ray Flanagan as he shares the lessons and perspectives he’s gained over 11 years as a full-time musician.

Ray is deeply woven into Cleveland’s music community. Catch him hosting jam nights every Tuesday at Mercury Music Lounge, or see his collaboration sets the last Monday of the month at The Winchester.

His new album "My Mind is Burning Up" drops next spring, but you can get early access by DMing him for a private link. In the meantime, dive into his extensive discography on all streaming platforms. THANK YOU RAY.

SONGS PERFORMED:

• Someone Else's Shoes
• I Love the Nighttime
• Ashes
• We're Doomed
• Simple Stuff I Guess
