Jilly’s Music Room in Akron’s Northside neighborhood is one of the premiere clubs for local bands to play in Akron. And now they’ve kicked off their Open Stages program to offer bands/artists a chance to get stage experience, work on their material on a real stage in front of an audience and showcase for possible future connections. It’s open to artists of all styles, and each artist gets 45 minutes (with three 45 minute sets each night) so they can stretch out and show what they can do.
