Digital Natives

Digital Natives is a Power Trio from NE Ohio consisting of Tom Judge on Vocals/Bass Guitar, Tim Benner on Guitar, and Kevin Six on drums. Listeners have described their sound as the perfect blend of Modern Rock, Pop Punk, and Metal.
Starting as a pandemic recording project between Tim Benner and Tom Judge, Digital Natives grew into the band it is today after the addition of former Twin Atomic drummer, Kevin Six.
The band released their debut album I/0 on Feb. 29th, 2024 to all streaming platforms and are currently working on a follow up, which will be available mid-2025.

Midnite Phoenix

Hailing from Akron, Ohio, Midnite Phoenix is an electrifying new rock band blending the timeless energy of classic and glam rock with the flamboyant flair of pop. At the helm is Wendy Darling, whose powerful, soul-stirring vocals captivate audiences and channel the spirit of rock legends. Behind the drum kit, Samantha Lapham fuels the band's fire with relentless energy and commanding rhythms. Bryce McVaney's soaring lead guitar riffs add both grit and grandeur, while Reese Putnam's bass lines provide a rock-solid foundation with a touch of groove. Rounding out the group, Katarina lends her dynamic backing vocals, adding depth and harmony to their bold sound.  

Known for their high-energy performances and retro-inspired style, Midnite Phoenix is quickly building a reputation as a must-see act in the rock n’ roll revival scene. Whether it’s a heart-pounding anthem or a soulful ballad, their music pays homage to the greats while carving out a sound that’s unmistakably their own.
