LoCLE Grown

We got slightly out of hand with the autotune that Unc D hooked up to the mic. In this episode, we explore the phrase in which he has now coined called "Mumble Jazz" and cover his next album dropping in September - "MMBLJZZ: WTF is MUMBLE JAZZ !?". Unc D is a contrarian at heart and pushes beyond the boundaries of the Jazz, R&B and Hip Hop realms with his music. Due to this...

In this episode, Robbie Allan tells us about how a wifi code inspires the band that becomes Robbie Allan and The Loveshack.

Today, we join with Drew of Electric Rendezvous and discuss our lack of math skills, the angsty years of the early 2010s, and a very full-circle moment where he is recording the next album. While Electric Rendezvous is Drew's solo project, we also get to hear about his full band called Wasted Society, as the lead singer Sam lends his vocals in the performance at the end. We ask the hard-hitti...

For legal reasons, the title line is a joke ;) Today, we cover the newly-formed band Fox Ears, comprised of 4 very talented individuals of Cleveland who have come together to give you that perfect blend of music you never knew you needed.

It's July!! In this episode, we sat down with Eliy Orcko, a jazz & rap artist originally hailing the sunny state but now resides on the farrr west side of Cleveland (s/o Elyria). The last time we sat down with them was almost 4 years ago on the early days of LG!  We got to chat about Eliy's European tour, a cool interaction with a listener from the other side of the world, and even s...

On Paper - available to play at your next prom, birthday, wedding, bar mitzvah, or Toyota-thon - are FULL of energy for the mellow-indie vibes they bring in their music.

We also get into Julia vs Brutus the OSU mascot, the...

Happy Father's Day! Coincidentally, on Mother's Day weekend last month, we switched it up by catching a chat with Kind Of Consistent founder, Riley Furey.

In this episode, we tip our hats to the "F*ck Yeah"s of this world, discuss the influence various substances have on musical abilities, and overall feel the rain on our skin. Even better, we get some aw...

Happy Sunday, y'all! We sat down in the LG Studio with Cleveland pop artist Jack Harris and got real deep talking about the weirdest dreams we ever had, his on-set injury during the recording of his newest music video "Bad News (Mona Lisa)", and his father starting beef with Flo Rida (Mr. Rida, you have 24 hours to respond). We also uncover Jurbz's Jameson-related injury, and a...

In this episode we ended the debate on if Solon or Laird would win in an arm wrestling match. (We won't tell ya who- you gotta find out yourself). On an equally important note, we discussed how necessary star shaped Uncrustables are for her rider, the stories behind the bits, and a deep talk about females in the music industry. Solon broke down the story for us behind her most popular song &q...

We get real deep in this episode as one does when they get into the ~Late Night Hours~. We sat with Aki of Downhill Collective at 9pm on the LG 'Thon and talked about his new 12-song album dropping soon and the importance of self-love when you are looking to achieve your dreams. It could be the long day or that we are sensitive gals out here, but Aki has a message that just wells us up in emo...

We had been going 12 hours in the LoCLE Grown Marathon by the time this interview came around, and Kompass really brought the giggles out of us.

The Fiddle Revolt kicked off the 4pm hour with high energy and lots of laughs. In this episode, we dive into the many different flavors of The Fiddle Revolt, blame Nigel for everything, and may even answer the question, "Got all these lemons, where the hell is the lemonade?". One thing is for sure: the people and the bands are both Equally Itching to be at live shows. The Fiddle Revolt i...

That title is not confusing at all, listen to the episode and you'll be in on it too ;) Who Saved Who from Cleveland is a group of 4 rad dudes who clearly hate each other as it is evident throughout the entirety of this interview.
