Whoa, Cleveland! I hope you’re ready for an action-packed weekend in the music world. If not, grab that double shot and get ready because we’re not slowing down. This weekend goes out to the locals.
This weekend we welcome the addition of Cellar Door to the list of local venues that will be supporting live music and boasting a record shop, too! Cellar Door Records began as a label and booking company, but now they’re expanding. Some great Cleveland bands are playing—The Modern Electric, The Lighthouse and The Whaler, Humble Home & Brian Straw. So come out and celebrate this new and exciting venue!
If you’d rather hit the rock scene than indie folk/rock, you should head on over to Happy Dog to catch the Shitbox Jimmy LP release. These cats funded the pressing themselves and are releasing 500 copies of their new album, which was made here in Cleveland at Gotta Groove Records!
And if you need to rage, you know we’ve got you covered, too. Another Cleveland favorite, All Dinosaurs, will be releasing their new album, Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior, at the Beachland Tavern on Saturday.
So, there you have it. Come to one of those shows or all three if you’re brave. Those bands don’t tickle your fancy? Here’s the rest of the best:
