Big Time Machine is a 3 piece rock band consisting of Jake Karns, John Black & Garth Porter and is based out of Pittsburgh and Oil City, PA. They’ve gone through many phases as independent musicians, as well as people… and you can hear it in the music! They write, record, produce, engineer, and package all of their albums on their own.

SICKNESS is a local Noise Rock band based in Oil City, PA. Last summer, band members Dillon Dean (lead guitarist), Lucas Peterson (secondary guitarist), and Aaron Crosmun (drummer) were the first band to perform on the over-100-year-old stage in Oil City Library’s historic Library Hall theater in over 65 years! They were also a featured performance in the 2023 Oil Heritage Festival in downtown Oil City.
