WHEW. Made it through another week, Cleveland. Why don’t you reward yourself by heading out to see some great live music this weekend? There’s plenty going on.
We think you should check out Cellar Door Records’ show on Saturday night. There’s a million reasons why you should be there. Tucked away inside a brick building in the heart of Cleveland is this gem, with high ceilings and rustic wooden floors that make the atmosphere and acoustics great. This is also the only Cleveland venue we know that boasts a record store featuring ALL local artists. How cool is that?
I know, so cool you nearly forgot about the live music side of it. Playing Saturday night are a bunch of Cleveland favorites—The Commonwealth, These Knees, Joshua Jesty and Cellar Door Records’ own Justin Markert. This is a $7 expenditure you won’t regret.
