This week’s show of the week is a benefit for Evan Pattison, a local boy with autism, headlined by all-American singer/songwriter/author and general good dude Tommy Womack who you’ll know both from his solo work and his collaborative work with buddy Will Kimbrough under the band name Daddy. Womack is 13 albums deep into a […]

Show of the Week: Henry Rollins at the Kent Stage
My pal Jack (a.k.a. the guy who should blog again because I love reading his stuff) wrote in with rave reviews for last week’s Experience Hendrix gig in Akron. Duh. Like you would have expected anything less than awesome with the list of players attached to that show? Thanks to Jack, I felt like I […]
Show of the Week: Cowboy Junkies at the Ohio Theatre
Is it possible to have two shows in the category of “show of the week” within the same week? My good pal Stereo Dictator once said something about “my site, my rules” or something along those lines, so I’m going to go with it. (Actually, he said “my stereo, my albums, my choice,” but you […]
Show of the Week: Experience Hendrix
The good news is that a bunch of really great guitar players will be in Akron tomorrow night. The bad news is that if you don’t have tickets already, you’re probably out of luck. Live Nation Cleveland just announced that the Experience Hendrix show happening on Tuesday night at the Akron Civic, is sold out. […]
Show of the Week: John Oates at The Kent Stage
Friends, I’ll have to admit that I broke my own rules. Last week, I told you about a super-bitchin’ show of the week featuring The Brought Low and The Suede Brothers, playing at Nemeth’s in Painesville. And then when Saturday night rolled around, I missed it. “Friends don’t let friends miss The Suede Brothers.” Unless […]
Show of the Week: The Brought Low & The Suede Brothers
It’s not often that Cleveland is blessed with a concert appearance by any one of the many great rock and roll bands on the Detroit-based Small Stone Records label. (We’re not counting Cleveland’s own Red Giant – besides, even those rock dudes need to play more Clevo shows!) Saturday night, prepare yourself for a brutal […]
Show of the Week: Two Shows Are Better Than One!
I couldn’t pick just one show for this week’s Show of the Week, so I went out on a rebellious limb and picked two! Right off the top before we get to those shows, you should know that Stephen Stills at the Kent Stage on Friday night is completely sold out (EDIT: Good news – […]
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 […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: Antlers at Musica
Dear ATVians, Hoping that the thaw will hold through the week, this time I’m gonna endorse a trip down Akron-way this Saturday (1/30) to see the incredible Brooklyn-based indie rock troupe, The Antlers . Fronted by frontman Peter Silberman, who originally started The Antlers as a solo project, the band now features Silberman’s guitars and […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: The Rural Alberta Advantage
Dear ATVians, What time is it? Well, in additional to being the appointed hour for getting ill (Beasties-style, not physician-wise), it is also time for the January Cleveland Bachelor Show of the Month! After last month’s Bears-headlined NEO showcase, we are back to featuring a promise national act cutting a swathe through the 216 to […]
