Keeping music culture alive in Cleveland.

You love vinyl.
Nobody's throwing a fest for you, until now.
Who’s Behind Wax and Tracks
What started as a sidewalk sale became a full-blown music festival in two months time. David and Cecilia Wolfe (The Vinyl Groove Records) and Jessie Kelkenberg (Great Life's Work) built it from scratch. Independent record stores, live music and a whole lot of crate diggers showed up for year one. They're doing it again.

What happened last year

Culture Clash Records (Toledo), Mistake By The Lake (Cleveland) and Vinyl Underground (Kent) all under one roof. Even more in 2026.

Diverse, not just one sound. Bands and DJs
-
Vintage clothing, plants, handmade goods and food. Something for everyone who showed up.

A dedicated space for the little ones. Kids decorated records and made their own art while the family dug through crates together.

Two organizations doing real work within the community.
