Friday, July 19, 2024

12:00 PM: Austin Hamilton
Folk/Americana, Alternative Bluegrass and Country
Full time NE Ohio Singer-Songwriter Armed with a soulful vocal tone characterized by a distinct gravelly rasp and deep blues inflections, Bringing a unique perspective to the genres of Folk/Americana, Alternative Bluegrass and Country. With an acoustic guitar in hand and a distinctive stage presence, Austin's performances feature a dynamic rhythm with a Kick Drum behind one foot and a Tambourine behind the other.

1:00 PM: Steve Madewell
Acoustic
Steve is a singer-songwriter based in Ohio who performs both locally and nationally. His love for the natural world, which has guided his career in park conservation and outdoor recreation, inspires his music. He spends a lot of time exploring fields, forests, and streams, drawing inspiration from the amazing places he encounters on his travels.

2:00 PM: Brent Kirby
Acoustic
Brent Kirby is a night's stroll with a rock n' roll romantic. This does not mean Kirby's merely a smitten troubadour, or a bard for the wayward but colorful life of musicians. Though his own songs bring up those immortal topics, Kirby's romanticism is much bigger than that. His songs start with the introspective stir of strum and voice, but just like his performances, quickly move outward and embrace the listener. Kirby, who grew up in Wisconsin and has lived playing music in places as varied as Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cleveland, has acquired a keen narrator's eye. Playing bars and clubs since his early teens, his lyrics dictate life in the moment, not as nightly grinds, but as places where dreams really come to life in gritty color.

3:15 PM: Alex Bevan and Friends
Folk-Rock
An acoustic guitar, a piano, one journeyman's approach to songcrafting and another's pursuit of melody and sound will gather the strands of twenty-seven plus years of collaboration and lead you toward brighter realms in an otherwise darker landscape.

The release of their first EP – "Lilith" has staked out their space in this city's musical landscape. Led by the dramatic, stirring vocals and presence of singer/keyboardist Mikey Silas, the group delves into the soulful music singing about life's experiences and good times to come. Here's what some of the fans and critics have to say:

6:00 PM: Marys Lane
Celtic Rock & Roll
The band Marys Lane is rock, and reel, but most of all, the good times roll. Their Cleveland Rock roots are evident, but they are knee deep in the ghosts of Ireland – not maudlin mind you, but in the typical Kitchen Party made so famous by the Irish – everyone comes, everyone joins in, one way or another, and everyone leaves wishing the night would never end.

8:00 PM: Boulevards
Punk Funk
Jamil Rashad's latest album as Boulevards, Electric Cowboy: Born in Carolina Mud, jubilantly mixes soul, country, jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, and every other style of music played in the Tarheel State, but the dominant sound is pure funk. The music is crammed with inventive, inverting grooves that are gritty, warm, and weird.

10:00 PM: An Evening Of Queen
Queen Tribute
Get ready to embark on a musical journey that pays homage to one of the greatest British rock legends of all time – Queen.  Jon Pyle and Guy Snowdon, two exceptionally talented musicians, have joined forces to create a tribute to a band like no other.

1:30 PM: Grupo Fuego
Latino
Grupo Fuego was formed in the fall of 1999. They are very lucky to have a group of musicians that has remained constant over the years and who have given the band its powerful sound. They have come a long way from their humble roots and have grown in popularity along just as Latin Music has grown more popular. Their fan base covers all ages and ethnic groups due to the energy that the band puts forth in its performances.

3:00 PM: LILIEAE
Alt-Rock
LILIEAE (pronounced LIL-EE-AY) is a rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. Their sound stems from a wide range of rock influences including classic rock, metal, punk, grunge, and alternative 90s. Founders and front-women Lydia Puccini and Kayleigh Hyland released their debut EP "Level" in 2019. Shortly after, Joe Stefano, Donald Pelc, and Eric Kennedy joined the group. Together they wrote and recorded their second EP, "RUN! RUN! RUN!" in 2021, and their third EP, "Pretend & Dare" in 2023. The beginning of 2024 came with a small lineup change when Kennedy parted with the group to pursue other endevours. Long-time friend Griffin Pereksta stepped in to take the open guitar spot and the group maintains their signature full sound and  five-piece experience

4:30 PM: The Ladies Night
Ladies of Song
The Ladies Night is the ultimate rocking tribute to Pop Divas, with an emphasis on the 90's-00's. These 5 dudes aren't afraid to wear their love for Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Kesha, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Miley Cyrus on their pink glittery sleeves as they rock their way through these guilty pleasure singalongs, often in the original key!

6:00 PM: Jordan Blanchard
Country
Born in 1998, Jordan grew up listening to what he considers to be the best era of country music. 90's country was still coming through the radio waves at full force with fiddle and steel guitars. This laid the foundation for a completely unexpected career. While he did experiment with piano and saxophone early on, he didn't buy his first guitar until 20 years old.

8:00 PM: Right Now
Van Halen Tribute
From 5150 to Balance, Right Now brings you the hits from America's all-time greatest rock band, with some deep cuts and DLR era hits thrown in the mix.
