15 60 75 The Numbers Band

Kent’s avant-garde rock legends return for their 30th Downtown@Dusk! 15 60 75 The Numbers has been praised by almost every national music publication and several international publications since the beginning of their 50 years of live performances and recordings. Many fans are under the impression that the band remains obscure by choice. In fact, they have never been offered a contract from any recording company in the industry, ever.

The Surfrajettes

The Surfrajettes are a four-piece instrumental combo from Toronto, ON, Canada. Since forming in late 2015, the band has charmed audiences with their clever mix of psychedelic rock and reverb-drenched surf music, sky-high beehives, go-go boots, and eyeliner as thick as their guitar strings.

Benny Lava & The Guavas
Formed in the vibrant music scene of Akron, the band’s story began when Benny Lava, a charismatic frontman with a voice that could move mountains, decided to assemble a group of talented musicians who shared his passion for pushing the boundaries of sound. The result was The Guavas, a collective of individuals with diverse musical backgrounds and a shared vision of creating something truly special.
