The Deadbeat Poets w/ Special Guests Inner Ring Conspiracy in Concert

The Deadbeat Poets are four veterans of the Youngstown / Cleveland Ohio rock scene: Bass player Frank Secich was a key member of the seminal seventies powerpop band Blue Ash who later worked with Stiv Bators and The Dead Boys.  Guitarist Terry Hartman comes from '80s Cleveland bands The Backdoor Men and Terry and The Tornados. Lead guitarist Pete Drivere and drummer John Koury have both been playing since the mid '80s as one half of local rock / pop legends, the Infidels.

The Deadbeat Poets' debut album, "Notes From The Underground" received critical acclaim culminating in USA Today calling it "one of the best albums of 2007."

An original power-pop band, Inner Ring Conspiracy presents music with jangly, sometimes crunchy guitars, big vocals, a tight & soulful rhythm section performed by guys who still have jobs who bang on drums, put strings into motion and mostly sing on key. This Lakewood, Ohio based band is influenced by Roots rock, British invasion, '70's Punk, '90's rock and more.
