The Twilight
The Cleveland band "The Twilight" doesn't aspire to take over the world. These three self-proclaimed “non self-promoters,” Tony Bunce, C. Ryan Kearney, and Greg Hyland, are in it strictly for love of the music. I spoke with Greg recently, after one of the group’s infrequent gigs.

Michael Stanley CDs
The Michael Stanley Band is a Northeast Ohio regional favorite. Formed in the mid-70s, the band is best known for its songs "My Town" and "He Can't Love You." Frontman, Michael Stanley was born in Cleveland, raised in Rocky River, and attended Rocky River HS and Hiram College. Never quite able to break through to a national audience, MSB continued to fill area concert venues until they broke up in 1986. Today, Stanley and his new band, the Resonators, perform periodic concerts.
