New from Ben Folds Five, ‘House’
It feels so good to type the words “new Ben Folds Five.” For those of you living under that proverbial rock, Folds has an awesome rarities collection coming out that for some reason, we have to wait patiently until October to hear.

Great deal on Tedeschi-Trucks Band tickets for Cleveland
The marital pairing of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks produced one of my favorite albums of this year and they’re currently out on the road promoting that ‘Revelator’ album on a tour that will bring them to the Nautica Pavilion here in Cleveland on September 3rd.

All Hail The Beachland Ballroom
When I was growing up here in Cleveland, I couldn’t imagine a day when I wouldn’t be spending many of my concert nights attending shows at the Cleveland Agora, but shifting times, financial issues and politics eventually drove the Agora into its current state of relative inactivity. Among the clubs that have filled the void, […]
