Visit
Nighttown in Cleveland Heights this summer, especially to have a cocktail and
sit on their beautiful patio. And, of course, check out the great jazz artists
they have playing all summer long.
Two great upcoming shows include Dave Matthews’ sax player Jeff Coffin
bringing a five piece jazz ensemble on Monday, August 13; and the return of the
Hot Club of Detroit on August 15 & 16 with their hot Gypsy Jazz. For info
on all the things happening at this landmark club/restaurant visit www.nighttown.com.
With
the Tribe fighting for first place that means the Gateway area will be hopping
the rest of the summer, including some great shows at Wilberts. Alternative
country rockers the Mallet Brothers Band will be there on July 11; roots
rockers the Steel Wheels will be there August 1; and Friday, August 10, will be
the return of Candye Kane and her blues band. If you have never seen her,
please check her out, she really rocks. Don’t forget Wilberts is the cheapest
place to drink before and after Tribe games, with $2 domestic beers. Go to www.wilberts.com for more info.
The Kent Stage features
four great shows this July with Mary Chapin Carpenter
on July 19; Mitch Ryder as part of the Kent Blues Fest
on July 21; Josh
Ritter on July 22; and the return of Kris Kristoffersen on July 27. I caught
Kristoffersen the last time he played the Kent Stage and he was outstanding
with some great songs and storytelling. For more info go to www.thekentstage.com.
