David Giffels: The 80s, Music and Story of Devo in Ohio

Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) and the Wadsworth Public Library continue Live at the Library with David Giffels on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 2 pm at the Wadsworth Public Library, 132 Broad Street, Wadsworth, OH 44281. Live at the Library continues its celebration of 250 years of American music by revisiting the decades each month. David Giffels takes us to the 80s with a behind the scenes look at the Akron centric band, Devo. Using “The Beginning Was the End: Devo in Ohio,” a book he co-authored with Jade Dellinger, he will tell us about the band members’ early days in Kent and Akron, and play some of their music along the way. This program is free. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, call 419-853-6016.
