The event will feature performances by White Buffalo Women, Floco Torres, the Beyonders and Time Cat.

The studio recently moved to the Whitespace Creative building (243 Furnace St., Akron), a space that features a recording studio and live venue. Bands performing at the event are those featured on ARC’s newly released compilation album, Where the Hell is Akron, OH?
