Hip to Be Highland Square

Today from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Highland Square in Akron will be the site of an "Art in the Square" event that will feature some 120 musical acts performing on some 50 porches. It's an ambitious event that will double as the CD release party for singer-songwriter Zach, who has recruited some of the guest musicians who play on his new album Provenance to perform with him. A variety of food and crafts vendors will also be on hand. (Niesel) porchrokr.com
