Her new recording titled “13” was released to a sold-out audience at Music Box Supper Club. The album was recorded with platinum record producer/engineer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple\, Brian Setzer\, Incubus\, Hoobastank) and Superior Sound Recording Studios in Cleveland. Alexis was a founding member of local ‘90s band Odd Girl Out.\nSelect career highlights:\n* Sold Out CD release show at Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland\, OH\n* Opening the show for many notable artists throughout her career\, including: Sarah McLachlan\, Sheryl Crow\, James Taylor\, Melissa Etheridge\, Jewel\, America\, and Fleetwood Mac\n“…her nuanced vocals on 13\, burnished and honey-toned. She’s\nalways been one of the area’s outstanding singers\, and maturity has just added to the impact of her vocals. The new songs play to her strengths. In fact\, the songs\, with the full but not overwhelming arrangements and their graceful melodies\, pulse with focused energy. Standouts like ‘Two Hearts’ and ‘Heaven Sent’ are both delicate and propulsive.” — Anastasia Pantsios\, Cool Cleveland\n“Singing is a gift. Songwriting is a gift. Playing is a gift. It’s not\nuncommon to find an artist who does one of the three well; it IS\nuncommon to find one who does all three well. Add Cleveland’s own Alexis Antes to the final list…” — Chuck Yarborough\, The Plain Dealer\n[album opener on 13\, “Fight for a Better Day”] “It’s a righteous\ntune cut from the same musical cloth as songs by Melissa Etheridge and\nAni DiFranco.” — Jeff Niesel\, Cleveland Scene\nListen:\nhttp://alexisantes.bandcamp.com/album/13\nhttp://www.alexisantes.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/AlexisAntesMusic\n—\nAnita Keys\nAnita Herczog started learning to play music on the living room piano around age 4\, from her father\, Ted Herczog\, who played marimba in The Versatiles\, a popular 3-piece Jazz Combo for 30+ years\, starting in the 1950s!

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Total Downer\, Public Squares\, and Jake Sprecher
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nJake Sprecher\nJake Sprecher\, from the power pop band The Wind-Ups\, is here in Cleveland from Northern CA. Having worked as a Swiss Army sideman forJonathan Richman since 2016\, frontman Jake has a new 7 inch single “Jonathan Says” on Blue Arrow Records’ label which is a sincere portrait of the special aura that surrounds JR\, run through the saturated analog grit and rhythmic fuzzed out power pop drone that The Wind-Ups are so fond of. The track also features Nicole Montalbano (Jonathan’s partner of the last 30 years) on tamboura.  \nOn side B\, “Medusa’s Spell” is a blast of melodious garage punk in tune with The Wind-Ups usual breakneck pace. And on Blue Arrow’s Bandcamp\, you’ll find two additional tracks rounding out the 7″ as an EP\, including “Little Boy Blue\,” which features Jonathan on lead electric guitar. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHVnyZkxfZc\n  \nTotal Downer\nFor Total Downer\, the Cleveland-based power-pop band spearheaded by Andy Schumann\, friendship is everything. After linking up with Arfil Pajarillaga\, Clay Reid\, and Dante Foley\, the shape of the band’s debut album Caretaker emerged. As performers and songwriters\, Total Downer unleashes a combination of anthemic celebrations and cathartic yelling\, juxtaposing thankfulness and grief for the people they love. To aid in this effort\, Schumann workshopped his lyrics with Denise Zhou and Bella Olivo\, two of his closest artistic confidants. Their edits helped underscore Total Downer’s mission: to release tender music that’s true to experience. That mandate is twofold: the stories they tell\, and encourage their peers to tell\, reckon with their sexualities\, genders\, and notions of death and home. From there\, Total Downer wants to provide listeners with new frameworks to approach their own experiences. As Schumann elaborates: “I especially try to write the songs that I feel I could have really used as a younger person.”\nhttps://www.facebook.com/totaldownerband\ntotaldowner.bandcamp.com \nPublic Squares\nClaiming to be inter-dimensional travelers piloting human bodies\, Public Squares have been evolving since their initial crash landing a few years ago.  A science-fiction aesthetic\, philosophically twisted lyrics and music that can go from reminding you of The Cars to The Misfits before you realize what just happened.  Their first release\, 2018’s “NWR&P” was an official Record Store Day release\, and they followed up with late 2019’s ambitious concept record “From Up There.”  They’re now returning to Earth\, full force\, to celebrate the delivery of their most fully realized collection of songs\, simply titled “HITS!”  Classified as Heavy New Wave\, if you’ve ever wondered what early Cure or Psychedelic Furs might sound like if they were somehow fused with Black Sabbath or Black Flag\, “HITS!” just might have the answer. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/publicsquaresband\npublicsquaresband.com \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Cuyahoga Arts and Culture for making this event possible.

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Maura Rogers & The Bellows and Wave Magnetik
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nMR&B is an Americana band rooted in rock\, folk\, and blues. Female fronted with powerful musicianship. Maura Roger’s passionate vocals and prolific songwriting are supported by lush harmonies\, a dynamic rhythm section\, and intricate arrangements that balance emotional accordion and guitar leads. Their long anticipated third album\, Always —produced by Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple\, Lake Street Dive\, Incubus)\, proves to be the band’s best work to date and delivers a cohesive collection of brilliant musicianship. The musical history of founding band members\, Maura Rogers and Meredith Pangrace\, began with a life-saving kidney transplant in 2012\, and the evolution of their musical collaboration is both compelling and inspiring. Selling out Cleveland’s top venues\, they continue to captivate audiences with their powerful live performances. At the root of music is the capacity to move others\, and the band achieves it with honesty and fervor. Adding Al Moses on lead guitar\, Quinn Hyland on bass\, and Jeff Babinkski on drums has brought a whole new energy\, embracing influences from classic rock’s Fleetwood Mac to modern female powerhouses like Brandi Carlile and Sharon Van Etten. The new album is a huge stepping stone for this well-established Americana band. It defines a mature sound finessed by Wirt’s engineering skills and the band’s new sound.\nwww.maurarogers.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MauraRogersMusic \nWave Magnetik (producer and trumpeter) and Rowanne Atallah (Lebanese performing artist) have joined musical forces creating melodic infectious dance music symbolizing unity in diversity. Combining Rowanne’s middle eastern roots and Wave’s jazz background\, they have given birth to a new electronic dance music era called “Hayete.”\nwww.wavemagnetik.com/hayete\nhttps://www.facebook.com/wavemagnetik \nSpecial thanks to Cuyahoga Arts and Culture for their support of this program.
