Akron's Growing DIY Underground Music Scene

I’m so excited to kick off Shuffle – WKSU’s weekly look at Northeast Ohio’s music scene. I’m a big music fan…We’re going to look at what’s going on from rock and rap to folk and classical. For the first installment, I stopped by Akron’s Devil Strip Magazine to talk with Music Editor Brittany Nader about Akron’s growing DIY underground music scene.

Check out the interview here
