We highly recommend checking this one out on YouTube because Da Land Brass Band absolutely lit up AJ Rocco’s during this live recording. They’ve got the spirit of a brass band mixed with a gritty Cleveland sound, and they’re out here asking, the real question: Can you dig it?

DLBB is pushing boundaries with their latest EP Unnatural History (stream it everywhere now) and experimenting with new sounds. You’ll hear two of them in this episode, so don’t miss it. And if you get the chance, catch them live because the energy is unmatched.

SONGS PERFORMED:

• The Intro (Vanthem)
• Sandman
• This Animal Called Love
• This is Goodbye (For Now)

We made some core memories with Youngstown's own Ohayo during this episode. Also, filing a formal complaint with Rock & Roll City Studios for not selling fresh focaccia bread here.

We’re heading into our 3rd year at Everwild Music Festival, and as always, its with the best company. For this special episode, we linked up again with James and Rex from Tropidelic and invited a new friend to the party, Makayla, host of Rocksteady on 88.3FM The Sting (where LoCLE Grown got its start!).

The first half takes place in our studio as we dive into Makayla’s love for reggae and ska music that led her to creating Rocksteady. Then we take it live on-air at The Sting with Trop, who give us the lowdown on what to expect at Everwild this year.

Everwild kicks off this weekend, don’t sleep on it! Grab your tickets at https://www.everwildfestival.com/
