FRONT PORCH

The Front Porch, comprising four Baldwin Wallace College teachers (from left, Mark Mattern, Steve Hollender, Kelly Coble and Beth Hiser), has been forging its own brand of traditional music since about 2003, and it is finding broad appeal. The band plays standards like the mountain ballad “Old Joe Clark” and “Wildwood Flower,” made famous by the Carter family. Front Porch also brings a staple of original music to shows, much of it composed by Hollender, though all members contribute writing. Don’t be surprised by an occasional curveball, though. Front Porch recently introduced a Beatles tune to its repertoire.

  Appearing Live: June 1st

Adam and The Auntacids

Formed by a group of friends whose impromptu jam sessions inspired them to take it to another level, Adam & the Auntacids have been steadily working their way through the gigging circuits of Northeast Ohio. A group with diverse material, they range from roots rock to classic rock, folk and Americana, punk to alternative.  A typical set list takes listeners from the 1960’s through today with stops in every decade in between.  Known for their clever acoustic adaptations, they’ll play one you know by heart then one you haven’t heard in years.  A band that puts the emphasis on fun times for all, Adam & the Auntacids sidestep genres and decades to deliver shows where the audience is an integral part of the experience. Adam Koehler – vocals, harmonicas and auxiliary percussion.  Darike Harper – acoustic guitars and vocals.  Stanley Martin – mandolins, guitars and vocals. Stacey Greene – bass and vocals.  Mike Williams – drums and percussion.

WIXY Playing songs from 1965 - 1975

Remember when cars came standard with an AM radio? All the songs were two to three minutes long. There was only one station to listen to for top 40 music in Cleveland between 1965 and 1975 while driving. That was Super Station, WIXY 1260 AM. Let us take you back to a time before iPods. Before Satellite radio. Before CD's. Vinyl records and 8-track tapes were the preferred media forms. Some of the records were known as 45's or singles and for a while they outsold albums. The WIXY 1260's pay tribute to the music of that era in Cleveland history with nostalgic hits rarely heard today but are etched in the minds of anyone over the age of 40. Both waves of British Invasion bands are covered as well as the long-haired, peace loving American hippy music of that decade. So, put on your bell bottom jeans, your smiley face t-shirt or paisley long sleeve, and your peace sign necklace. Load up the gang in the VW bus with shag carpet on the inside and the "Keep on Truckin" bumper sticker and join us for a trip back in time. You can't help but tap your feet to the beat and sing along with the WIXY 1260's.

Mallory SanMarco

Walk into any room where Mallory SanMarco is playing her unique brand of original music and you’ll never guess what this talented young singer/songwriter will come up with next. She can soothe your ear with a haunting version of her original ballad “Thousand Tiny Pieces”, amuse you with her take on certain facets of the youth culture with “I'm Emo” or make a devastating social statement with songs like “Warning Signs (The Kneecap Song)” or “Bobbi.” Each well crafted tune is presented with wit, charm and a smile that is both captivating and disarming.

Since her first solo show in September of 2006, Mallory has been entertaining audiences at venues as diverse as the Barking Spider, Mike’s Bar, Baldwin-Wallace College, Phoenix and Caribou Coffeehouses, Wilbert’s, the Winchester and many of northeast Ohio’s better-known stages. Quiet and unassuming, Mallory draws listeners in with simple guitar work and the ability to tell a story in clear prose and lucid lyrics.

In 2007 Mallory took first place in a songwriter contest sponsored by Guitar Center and earned a top spot in the Taste of Tremont Festival along with a place on Apple’s iTunes store. In 2008 she took second place at the Baldwin-Wallace College “B-W’s Got Talent” contest. Her award winning songs and highly entertaining performances have become the core of her one-woman show and the focal point of her guest appearances all over town.

Bobby Pennock

Bobby Pennock is an accomplished singer/songwriter whose style, albeit unique, is reminiscent of those celebrated folksingers of the 1960s and 70s, like Paul Simon and Harry Chapin (with a heaping helping of The Beatles thrown in), crafting songs that catch you off guard with lines like: Don’t try to reason – a little thought might give you heed/You don’t need to be wise when pleasing all your wants/By disguising them as needs... Listening to him perform is like watching a good magician. When it's over, you can't help but ask: How did he do that?

Brigid's Cross was formed in 1996 as Paul Baker, Peggy Goonan-Baker and Richie Reece bring an eclectic collection of music to the stage.  From true-to-heritage traditional music to contemporary pieces, Brigid’s Cross is a never-ending show from start to finish. Think of Ralph and Alice Kramden from the classic TV show the Honeymooners, meeting the Captain and Tennille.  Enough said!  This show draws a lot of inspiration (both musical and otherwise) from Peggy and Paul's past, as well as their current everyday lives. Musically, they feature a lot of  the same Irish music that you'd expect to hear, with perhaps more of a mix of music from different genres and eras, depending on the venue.  Lots of humor and crowd interaction can be looked forward to, as well as some more original music. Come out for Brigid's Cross at the Eastland Inn.
