Documented collaborators

Easy Street Band emerged from the Northeast Ohio rock scene, rooted in Akron and Cleveland in the early 1970s. Known for powerhouse Thursday night runs at the Agora and other local venues, they built a dedicated following and a reputation for energetic live performances. The band’s 1982 self-titled release, with guest appearances from Michael Stanley Band members, garnered substantial local airplay and is linked to WMMS’ top-25 releases. Their 1982 single “Love Tries” enjoyed regular WMMS airplay and reportedly reached around WMMS’ chart position No. 25. After years of activity and a 2002 reunion-era studio set, Back on Easy Street (℗ 2002) marked a notable release. In 2025, Easy Street Band returns to the stage with reunion concerts slated for November 14–15 at the Easy Street Reunion Venue in Akron, signaling a full-circle moment for longtime fans. We’ve got you covered with upcoming tour details, official social links, and venue information.
