The BoDeans came rolling through Cleveland last fall for a mother of a show that featured legendary drummer Kenny Aronoff behind the kit.

It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the 20th anniversary of the band Wilco.

The song selection was delectable, the offbeat sense of humor seemed to be fully intact and overall, it was just nice to have Fountains of Wayne back in Cleveland. I thought it was 2009…but no, it was 2007 that was the year of my last Fountains of Wayne encounter. There were two great encounters that […]

This picture says quite a bit…. While this picture adds a few more details… ….and this article fills in the rest of the gaps.
