SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Luca Mundaca\, Alexis Antes\, Anita Keys
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nLuca Mundaca\nWith over 130\,000 monthly listeners and millions of song plays on\nSpotify\, Luca Mundaca is a musical artist in her prime. A formidable composer and arranger\, Luca’s albums “Day by Day” and “Primeiro” feature all original compositions. A gifted artist with a stunning voice of great intimacy and emotion\, Luca’s music is a glorious blend of her native Brazil with a touch of downtown New York. She mines deep melodic roots in her country’s heritage\, creating musical gems that she polishes with the lightest of touches. Influenced by jazz and bossa nova\, themes in her songs often revolve around nature and our relationship with it.\nTo her credit\, Luca has won an Independent Music Award in the World Fusion category as well as placing third in the International\nSongwriting Competition\, World Music category.\nIn addition to her own albums\, Luca’s work has been featured on two compilations distributed by Putumayo World Music: “Brazilian Lounge” and “Women of the World: Acoustic”. Her music has been featured in movies including “End of Watch”\, “The Visitor”\, “Kissing Paris”\, and television shows such as HBO series “Californication”\, ABC show “Mistresses”\, and Brazilian telenovela “TiTiTi”.\nhttps://www.lucamundaca.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/mundacamusic\nhttps://www.instagram.com/Lucamundaca\n—\nAlexis Antes\nSinger/songwriter Alexis Antes delivers a smooth\, soulful\,\nacoustic-edged blend of pop/rock originals splashed with current and classic cover tunes. Her new recording titled “13” was released to a sold-out audience at Music Box Supper Club. The album was recorded with platinum record producer/engineer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple\, Brian Setzer\, Incubus\, Hoobastank) and Superior Sound Recording Studios in Cleveland. Alexis was a founding member of local ‘90s band Odd Girl Out.\nSelect career highlights:\n* Sold Out CD release show at Music Box Supper Club in Cleveland\, OH\n* Opening the show for many notable artists throughout her career\, including: Sarah McLachlan\, Sheryl Crow\, James Taylor\, Melissa Etheridge\, Jewel\, America\, and Fleetwood Mac\n“…her nuanced vocals on 13\, burnished and honey-toned. She’s\nalways been one of the area’s outstanding singers\, and maturity has just added to the impact of her vocals. The new songs play to her strengths. In fact\, the songs\, with the full but not overwhelming arrangements and their graceful melodies\, pulse with focused energy. Standouts like ‘Two Hearts’ and ‘Heaven Sent’ are both delicate and propulsive.” — Anastasia Pantsios\, Cool Cleveland\n“Singing is a gift. Songwriting is a gift. Playing is a gift. It’s not\nuncommon to find an artist who does one of the three well; it IS\nuncommon to find one who does all three well. Add Cleveland’s own Alexis Antes to the final list…” — Chuck Yarborough\, The Plain Dealer\n[album opener on 13\, “Fight for a Better Day”] “It’s a righteous\ntune cut from the same musical cloth as songs by Melissa Etheridge and\nAni DiFranco.” — Jeff Niesel\, Cleveland Scene\nListen:\nhttp://alexisantes.bandcamp.com/album/13\nhttp://www.alexisantes.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/AlexisAntesMusic\n—\nAnita Keys\nAnita Herczog started learning to play music on the living room piano around age 4\, from her father\, Ted Herczog\, who played marimba in The Versatiles\, a popular 3-piece Jazz Combo for 30+ years\, starting in the 1950s! Her formal piano lessons began in the second grade and continued through high school\, where her songwriting began. After a few years devoted to raising a family\, Anita joined the local “weekend warriors”\, and for two decades played keys and sang harmonies in several cover bands (Tymz Up\, Shooter\, Off the Record\, The Band Intense) before deciding to concentrate on her Originals. Anita built herself a band of a rotating collection of accomplished Musicians and has performed for more than a decade as Anita Keys and Anita Keys & friends. Anita released 20/20- her fifth full-length CD of original tunes- in December 2022\, and performs her Jazzy Pop Music all around the Cleveland area. Anita Keys is also heard on local college radio stations and can be found at www.anitakeys.com and online on all digital music platforms!\nhttps://www.facebook.com/msanitakeys\nhttps://www.youtu.be/channel/anitakeysmusic\nhttps://www.anitakeys.com \nThis program is supported by Cuyahoga Arts and Culture

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Total Downer\, Public Squares\, and Jake Sprecher
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nJake Sprecher\nJake Sprecher\, from the power pop band The Wind-Ups\, is here in Cleveland from Northern CA. Having worked as a Swiss Army sideman forJonathan Richman since 2016\, frontman Jake has a new 7 inch single “Jonathan Says” on Blue Arrow Records’ label which is a sincere portrait of the special aura that surrounds JR\, run through the saturated analog grit and rhythmic fuzzed out power pop drone that The Wind-Ups are so fond of. The track also features Nicole Montalbano (Jonathan’s partner of the last 30 years) on tamboura.  \nOn side B\, “Medusa’s Spell” is a blast of melodious garage punk in tune with The Wind-Ups usual breakneck pace. And on Blue Arrow’s Bandcamp\, you’ll find two additional tracks rounding out the 7″ as an EP\, including “Little Boy Blue\,” which features Jonathan on lead electric guitar. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHVnyZkxfZc\n  \nTotal Downer\nFor Total Downer\, the Cleveland-based power-pop band spearheaded by Andy Schumann\, friendship is everything. After linking up with Arfil Pajarillaga\, Clay Reid\, and Dante Foley\, the shape of the band’s debut album Caretaker emerged. As performers and songwriters\, Total Downer unleashes a combination of anthemic celebrations and cathartic yelling\, juxtaposing thankfulness and grief for the people they love. To aid in this effort\, Schumann workshopped his lyrics with Denise Zhou and Bella Olivo\, two of his closest artistic confidants. Their edits helped underscore Total Downer’s mission: to release tender music that’s true to experience. That mandate is twofold: the stories they tell\, and encourage their peers to tell\, reckon with their sexualities\, genders\, and notions of death and home. From there\, Total Downer wants to provide listeners with new frameworks to approach their own experiences. As Schumann elaborates: “I especially try to write the songs that I feel I could have really used as a younger person.”\nhttps://www.facebook.com/totaldownerband\ntotaldowner.bandcamp.com \nPublic Squares\nClaiming to be inter-dimensional travelers piloting human bodies\, Public Squares have been evolving since their initial crash landing a few years ago.  A science-fiction aesthetic\, philosophically twisted lyrics and music that can go from reminding you of The Cars to The Misfits before you realize what just happened.  Their first release\, 2018’s “NWR&P” was an official Record Store Day release\, and they followed up with late 2019’s ambitious concept record “From Up There.”  They’re now returning to Earth\, full force\, to celebrate the delivery of their most fully realized collection of songs\, simply titled “HITS!”  Classified as Heavy New Wave\, if you’ve ever wondered what early Cure or Psychedelic Furs might sound like if they were somehow fused with Black Sabbath or Black Flag\, “HITS!” just might have the answer. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/publicsquaresband\npublicsquaresband.com \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Cuyahoga Arts and Culture for making this event possible.

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Maura Rogers & The Bellows and Wave Magnetik
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nMR&B is an Americana band rooted in rock\, folk\, and blues. Female fronted with powerful musicianship. Maura Roger’s passionate vocals and prolific songwriting are supported by lush harmonies\, a dynamic rhythm section\, and intricate arrangements that balance emotional accordion and guitar leads. Their long anticipated third album\, Always —produced by Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple\, Lake Street Dive\, Incubus)\, proves to be the band’s best work to date and delivers a cohesive collection of brilliant musicianship. The musical history of founding band members\, Maura Rogers and Meredith Pangrace\, began with a life-saving kidney transplant in 2012\, and the evolution of their musical collaboration is both compelling and inspiring. Selling out Cleveland’s top venues\, they continue to captivate audiences with their powerful live performances. At the root of music is the capacity to move others\, and the band achieves it with honesty and fervor. Adding Al Moses on lead guitar\, Quinn Hyland on bass\, and Jeff Babinkski on drums has brought a whole new energy\, embracing influences from classic rock’s Fleetwood Mac to modern female powerhouses like Brandi Carlile and Sharon Van Etten. The new album is a huge stepping stone for this well-established Americana band. It defines a mature sound finessed by Wirt’s engineering skills and the band’s new sound.\nwww.maurarogers.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MauraRogersMusic \nWave Magnetik (producer and trumpeter) and Rowanne Atallah (Lebanese performing artist) have joined musical forces creating melodic infectious dance music symbolizing unity in diversity. Combining Rowanne’s middle eastern roots and Wave’s jazz background\, they have given birth to a new electronic dance music era called “Hayete.”\nwww.wavemagnetik.com/hayete\nhttps://www.facebook.com/wavemagnetik \nSpecial thanks to Cuyahoga Arts and Culture for their support of this program.

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Bent String and John McGrail
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nBent String: We perform a mix of early American roots music\, including acoustic blues and early jazz\, and originals in those styles. Kari’s voice holds center stage\, underpinned with the feel of jazz age swing by Reed Simon’s violin\, Kevin Richards acoustic guitar and Cleveland Blues Hall of Fame upright bassist\, Raymond  DeForest. Dan Bode adds vocals and a horn like approach to harmonica. \nJohn McGrail Trio \nThe New John McGrail Trio is an evolving extension of the music of John McGrail. Originally composed of guitar bass and percussion it has now become the home of guitar\, bass\, flutes and whistles. While still mining the darker side of life lyrically\, musically the loss of one member left the possibility for improvement. Consisting of John McGrail on vocals and guitar\, Jay Bentoff on bass and the latest addition of Sheela Das on flutes and whistles the Trio is embarking on a newer slightly different path. Change is a good thing! \nCategorized as a folk musician he accepts that and on some level even agrees but his influences range far beyond that and they all contribute to the ‘folk’ music that he creates. Analysis of his tunes would find things like odd meters\, Floydian textures\, and the occasional stinging guitar solo. Then there are the lyrics… well there are those who have described him as the Dark Prince of Cleveland Folk. \nNever one to be pigeonholed John uses whatever he has at his disposal to present his music. As of late for live performances it is his trio of Jay Bentoff and Sheela Das. When in the studio he grasps for whatever it is that will get his music across in a manner that makes him happy. Whether it’s loops and programs and virtual instruments or the more traditional type\, one will usually find him using all and blending them in a most unique way. Boundaries are for breaking. \nwww.mindfryenterprises.com\nhttp://www.reverbnation.com/#!/johnmcgrail\nhttp://www.reverbnation.com/#!/theheadwhizconsortmoderneinternationale\nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/John-McGrail/137931776220239?ref=hl \nMade possible with support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Effect Pedal Experience with EarthQuaker Devices
DESCRIPTION:EarthQuaker Devices is bringing their ‘Experience Station’ to The Cleveland Rocks Shop. We will have several pedals for you to try out. There will be a guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, and microphone available to connect with the pedals\, or bring your own to hook up and listen to the effects. Try the Astral Destiny\, Disaster Transport SR\, Acapulco Gold\, The Bellows\, and more! Plus\, one lucky guest is going to win a free pedal (new release – yet to be announced!) to take home. Stay for The 2×4 Songwriter Showcase immediately after the pedal experience workshop. \n2×4 Songwriter Showcase \nLingua (Moko Bovo) – ReverbNation \nYes Lisa (Life Magnetic) – Facebook | Instagram | YouTube \nDavid Novak (SkinTone Guitar Picks) – Facebook \nAlison and JC (AJ & The Woods) – Website | Facebook | Instagram \n*** This is a free event but space is limited. Reserve your ticket below to lock in a seat. ***\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/579365546947 \nBios: \n\nLingua:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLingua is Dan Bode vocals and harmonica and Rick Kodramaz on bass. We have performed since 1997 in bars\,  coffee shops\, art galleries\, bookstores\, the Cleveland Museum of Art\, and Cinemateque playing spoken word\, songs\, and soundtracks to silent films.  The “soundscapes” we create are highly improvised.  Reaching for new sounds has brought us to a deeper understanding of pedals\, effects\, and synthesizers\, and how they can enhance tension and emotional impact in performance.\n\n\n\nDavid Novak:\nNo stranger to writing music and performing live; David Novak returns to the stage as “DA.” The name DA means “this” in ancient hebrew. I think it describes in simplest terms my music and the experience I’m offering audiences. DA is about storytelling\, being in the moment\, and the way music brings people together. That experience should be somewhat indescribable. The listener is encouraged to consider what “this” means to them. Stylistically\, my original music touches on sensitive folk\, dissonant art rock\, and squalling noise rock. David’s work in music has had a meaningful impact in North East Ohio\, and he shares special connections with many of our areas most accomplished musicians. He has been a music teacher\, a club owner\, he has produced acts\, toured the U.S.\, showcased at The Viper Room in Hollywood California\, and worked with producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn of Blur/Gorillaz). “I love making music because even with basic elemental forms\, people can still feel music and be drawn to it. DA is an intention\, and is just as much about the live experience as it is the music.”\n\nAJ & The Woods:\nFounded on the sweet nostalgia of delta blues\, AJ & The Woods elevates roots rock to a new height. Their sultry sound features striking female vocals and intricate guitar melodies which organically blends passionate folk\, rock\, and blues music. Home grown in Ohio and established in 2015\, AJ & The Woods brings you one of the most unique and articulate sounds to date.

SUMMARY:Eli "Paperboy" Reed\, Crazy Marvin\, & the New Blues Express
DESCRIPTION:Fred Davis “Cleveland Blues” Release Party \nEli “Paperboy” Reed & Colemine Records present\n\nEli “Paperboy” Reed\, Crazy Marvin\, & the New Blues Express\n  \n\nA letter from Eli “Paperboy” Reed \n“Fred Davis was a legend\, but only in my living room. There was always music around my house\, but as a teenager\, I started digging deeper and deeper into the blues records in my Dad’s collection. That was when I started to get the Fred Davis story in fits and starts. Fred could play like T-Bone Walker and sang in a high\, keen voice like J.B. Lenoir\, he said. He used to front a jump band in Kansas City\, before something went down that sent him to prison at Leavenworth. In the summer of 1967\, he ended up working alongside my Dad at Harco\, the Cleveland factory where my grandfather was an executive. They became friends\, bonding over the B.B. King and Bobby Bland records blaring from the AM radio on the factory floor. \nFred taught my Dad the rudiments of blues guitar\, but his style. Instead of barring with his first finger\, he wrapped his thumb around the back of the neck. That left his other fingers free to create big\, ringing voicings that imitated the Kansas City horn sections he heard in his youth. Fred could play up and down the neck and\, even when he played and sang just by himself\, he sounded like a full band. Or\, at least\, so the legend went. These were only foggy memories from thirty years previous\, passed down from a father to a son. \nBut then we found the tape. A quarter inch reel in a plain white cardboard box\, hiding on a shelf in the attic. My Dad explained how it came to exist: He found some friends (acquaintances really) who had a band and some equipment. They setup in my grandparents living room where the upright piano was\, and he invited Fred over to record some of his songs with the band backing him up. Invited him over\, to play loud music\, in his boss’s living room. Sounds like something I would have done. The idea was that maybe if there were some recordings of Fred that he could use them to get booked on the nascent college blues-revival circuit\, but it wasn’t to be. \nWe found a place nearby that could dub the tape and put it on a CD for us. When we finally got the transfer back\, the legend became real. Fred really COULD sing like J.B. Lenoir and play like T-Bone Walker. He really DID have his own style. And that style had now been passed on to me. Without even realizing it\, I had learned to play like Fred Davis. Even now\, when I sit down to play the guitar or write a song and I wrap my thumb around the neck\, I’m playing like he did. \nWith this music now professionally transferred and remastered\, I can only hope that Fred Davis can finally receive the acclaim that he deserves; that he never received in his lifetime. The legend can finally go behind the confines of my living room and\, with any luck\, to the whole world.” \n– Eli Paperboy Reed\, fall 2022

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Jenna Fournier and Rob Kovacs
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. \nRob Kovacs is an award-winning composer\, pianist\, recording artist\, music streamer and college professor. He has gained notoriety for his virtuosic note-for-note piano arrangements of classic video game soundtracks mainly from the original Nintendo Entertainment System under the name 88bit. Additionally\, Kovacs has composed music for several award-winning short films\, rock bands and most recently the critically acclaimed virtual reality game STRAYLIGHT – a revolutionary VR platforming experience.\nhttps://www.robkovacsmusic.com/ \nKid Tigrrr is Jenna Fournier\, a singer-songwriter best known for her surreal and whimsical visual art and for fronting Niights\, an alternative rock outfit defined by elements of dream-pop and shoegaze. Her solo work maintains the band’s ethereal\, atmospheric quality and pop sensibility while taking a more minimal approach to instrumentation. Fournier grew up in Las Vegas before transplanting to Cleveland\, OH\, where she began playing coffee shops\, open mics\, and touring regionally until eventually forming Niights. She signed with her first label\, 2670 Records (Japan) in 2013 with both a solo EP\, Small Reflections\, and Niights’ debut album\, Whisper\, completing an international tour with each release. Niights later signed to Tragic Hero Records (USA) in 2015. Fournier released her second EP as a solo artist\, The Little Dreamer\, exclusively in Japan in conjunction with a returning tour there in 2017\, followed by Niights’ sophomore release of Hellebores\, which was supported by tours in the USA and Japan as well. Fournier parted with her label in February of 2020 and is currently recording a full solo debut as an independent self-producing artist while continuing to write with Niights.\nhttps://kidtigrrr.bandcamp.com/\nPhoto Credit: Jarrod Berger
