Local band to perform at Guardians game in Cleveland

CLEVELAND (WKBN) – A local band is set to play after the Guardians game in Cleveland Friday night.

The band RDNA will play at Progressive Field, which will be the biggest crowd they’ve performed for.

The band started in 2015. Their name credits their DNA — the founding members were the nephews and sons of the members of Youngstown’s Houseband.

They’ve played at bars, private parties, and some local venues, but Friday will be their biggest show yet. They secured the gig after meeting the Guardians’ live events manager while playing at a Cleveland bar earlier this year.

“They could get a ton of bands. Just the opportunity for us, from Youngstown, to have this chance, and really how it all worked out — that we were in Cleveland playing at a bar and got to connect with them — it just goes to show you take every opportunity you can,” said band member Nico Morgione.

RDNA will perform at the game right before the fireworks.
