Third Thursdays at Transformer Station

Third Thursdays at Transformer Station events feature a mix of live local music and conversation with artists curated and hosted by Ideastream Public Media (opens in a new tab) radio personalities. Each event engages a different show host with a band, highlighting the diversity of Northeast Ohio’s music scene and bringing Ideastream’s beloved music programs to the public. These events are free, but a ticket is required. 

This evening’s program is hosted by Ideastream Public Media’s Amanda Rabinowitz (host of the Shuffle (opens in a new tab) podcast and WKSU’s All Things Considered), who leads an in-depth interview with Talons’ about the group’s regionally inspired records—from the stylistic approach combining acoustic instruments with field recordings to the band’s lyrical references to Taco Bell and Breaking Bad. It’s an evening of musical performances and conversations you don’t want to miss. More information about Talons’ can be found on the group’s Bandcamp page (opens in a new tab) and on Ideastream’s Spotify playlist (opens in a new tab). 

This event is being recorded for Ideastream’s Shuffle podcast—Northeast Ohio’s backstage pass to the region’s independent music scene.
