Matt “Cat Tyrtle” Ertle
Making music and collecting cool crystals has been a passion of mine since I was a teenager. I began assisting in live event production in 2018 at a few smaller shows in the Akron music scene, and now find myself immersed in a vast network of bands, artists, and festival vendors from all over the Midwest. Watching all of these worlds continue to grow under the roof of one “rock-solid” business is a dream come true. Curating magical, musical moments, connecting people to the Earth, and putting smiles on faces are my three main objectives with this venture.
Nicole “The Meowgic Lady” Ruvolo
I’m a crafty crystal lady with a passion for magic, music, and adventure. I started dabbling in crystals and tarot in 2019. And things got intense FAST. I found myself half-way across the country, leaving my corporate job, and boldly diving into the unknown. I started following the signs, trusting in the journey, and letting the universe guide me. By the time the chaos of 2020 hit, I was already hitting the road on a soul-searching journey, destination unknown. I acquired my Crystal Healer Certification in 2021, after landing in Ohio, where I opened my first business, inspired by a vision to create products and services to assist others in connecting to the earth, to magic, and to themselves. Today, my mission remains the same: to inspire and empower others to find the magic within.
And so….
we would later come to find, as if written in the stars, that these two should meet. Unbeknownst to them, they would soon create something epic, something extraordinary together — what we see today as the ever-evolving adventure that is Cat Tyrtle Rocks.
They were the perfect pair. A dynamic duo. Destined to become. She brought the magic. He brought the funk.
But it all started with one question… one pondering thought…. he just had to know…
So with fingers crossed, and with great anticipation, he asked her,
“Do you like cool rocks?!?!”
