Akron's rubber industry heritage gave the city a post-industrial tension that produced the angular, robotic sound of Devo and continues to fuel its electronic and indie rock scenes. The Tangier, a historic supper club in the North Hill neighborhood, hosts blues and R&B acts in a space that has served Akron since 1952. Musica in the downtown arts district books indie rock and folk bands, while BLU Jazz Plus provides an intimate room for jazz musicians near the city's historic center.
