Due to inclement weather in the Midwest and Northeast, Yes has been forced to move their House of Blues Cleveland date to Sunday, February 21st. Apparently their collectively cosmic vibes couldn’t thwart the massive amounts of snow currently being dumped in those areas, causing necessary adjustments to the tour schedule. All tickets purchased for the […]

Show of the Week: Radio 92.3 Bands Together Haiti Benefit
This week’s show of the week was an easy choice to make. While my good pal CB sat at Melt, gorging himself with one of their signature half ton sandwiches, he sent me a quick text message. “mmmmphshowmmmmripofmmmmph*interrupted*” *belch* I realized that he was letting me know that I should pick this week’s show of […]

You always remember your first concert. Mine was R.E.M. and Luscious Jackson at the Gund Arena in Cleveland, on June 11, 1995. The Athens, Georgia, quartet was my favorite band at the time, and had been for several years. I first became aware of them when a local radio station flipped to the modern-rock format […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: Grog Shop’s FREE Weekend of Shows!
Dear ATVians, Let me be the first to wish you a happy new year. OK, by the time you read this, you’ll probably have been the recipient of such a greeting already (if not 50 times already), but know that I really mean it when I say it. I mean, this isn’t like one of […]
A Very Cleveland Christmas
In the ’80s, a Cleveland Christmas meant several things: Going downtown to Higbee’s to see Santa, watching Mr. Jingeling — the “keeper of the keys” — on TV and hitting the Twigbee Shop.
