Second weekend in May and you need ideas on where the music’s at, right? Cleveland’s brimming with possibilities and unlike our sports teams, our musicians always deliver. If you’re a college student you probably just wrapped up finals week and you need a little music to unwind. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered, too.
We’re going to tip our hats to some visiting musicians from New York as our featured show for the weekend. Just a little band by the name of Pearl and the Beard.
Alright, little is an understatement. This three-piece is quickly gaining speed as they tour the United States, spilling forth soul-filled tunes that exude such brilliance and hope. Tonight they’ll be playing at The Winchester in Lakewood. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, OR if you’re a student and you’ve got a valid ID, just $8! Don’t miss out on this band! They’re the perfect way to kick of summer vacation.
