One of the best parts of coming to Jump Back Ball every year is the amazing music. With that many people ready to dance the night away we’d better have great music playing from start to finish, and that’s exactly what we’ve got planned.

This year’s live entertainment is coming from two awesome Cleveland bands: RadioActive and Tricky Dick and the Cover-Ups. You may remember seeing RadioActive perform last year and we’re really excited to have them back again this year as the main-stage act. Tricky Dick and the Cover-Ups are newcomers to Jump Back Ball this year performing as the late-night act.

RadioActive, the Top-40 dance band that plays everything from the radio hits of today to the classics of the ‘70s, will kick the night off on the State Theatre stage. Made up of seasoned pros Jon Blair, Jim Richley, Chris Edwards, and newest addition, Brittany, RadioActive is top to bottom as professional as it gets. Recreating studio-quality music live on stage is their motto, and with all the touring, recording, and performing experience they’ve got under their belts, this band knows how to make it happen. RadioActive brings you the energy of a live performance with the audio quality of a DJ all in one, making them the perfect band to get the party started. Check out this video of the band doing their thing and see for yourself!

As the party moves into the State Theatre lobby, late-night band Tricky Dick and the Cover-Ups will keep you dancing until it’s time to shut it down. All hailing from the great state of Ohio, members Shawn Casper, Tony Howard, Matt Johnson, and Doug Schulze are ready to rock out at Jump Back Ball. With 10,768 songs in their repertoire (and counting), this band might as well be a walking, talking iPod. Covering pumped up songs from literally any and every genre, don’t be surprised to hear some old school AC/DC followed by the latest hit from Lady Gaga. Tricky Dick will have no trouble fitting in this year and celebrating JBB’s 21^st birthday.
