SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Birth with Ryan Fletterick and Nolan Cavano (of Oregon Space Trail of Doom)
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music (WMM) is a free concert series\, programmed by Cleveland Rocks: Past\, Present\, Future\, as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. Held in the Waterloo Arts & Entertainment District\, the Tower series features local Waterloo area bands/musicians. \nFriday\, June 3\, 2022\n6pm at the Waterloo Tower Stage (Corner of East 156th and Waterloo Rd).\nRain Site: Cleveland Rocks Shop at Music Saves (15801 S Waterloo Rd)\nFree Show\nBring your lawn chairs! \nBirth:\nFormed in 1998\, BIRTH\, the Cleveland-bred saxophone\, electric bass\, drums trio\, carved a musical niche with the sound of their no-holds-barred creative music. Bringing together elements of free jazz\, electro-acoustic improvisation\, rock and melodic balladeering\, this group defies convention\, and executes its music with precision\, and emotive mastery. \nRyan Fletterick and Nolan Cavano (of Oregon Space Trail of Doom): \n“While en route to the cosmos\, the Oregon Space Trail of Doom spaceship crash landed on the Satellite Europa. It seems that their ship suffered from a faulty ABS system and was unable to brake in time before crashing\, but we all know that Tony the drummer really just wanted to see if Europa was inhabitable. Well\, Tony got his wish because just below the radiation laden surface of Europa there was enough Oxygen to supply 7.8 billion people. Stunned but not phased\, Tony ventured off on his lonesome to see if he could fetch some water. Just then\, a giant ice storm appeared and all four band members dispersed: Trevor sought refuge beneath a slab of ice\, while Tony… Disappeared completely. Fortunately Nolan Cavano and Ryan Fletterick were able to escape by changing the fuse to the ABS module and ultimately getting the space shuttle back on track. Knowing they had left Tony and Trevor behind\, Nolan proposed they head back to Earth to try and gather funds for a rescue mission. Well folks\, this gig will solely fund that rescue mission\, and without further adieu I give you the strong\, welcoming talents of solo acoustic sounds\, Ryan Fletterick and Nolan Cavano from the band Oregon Space Trail of Doom. Two guitars\, a harmonica\, and two voices to save their beloved drummer and bassist. Will you help out with the mission? We need them back…” \nThe WMM Series is made possible with support from The Ohio Arts Council and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

Although she was a kid\, she inhaled everything she heard. \nFrom piano lessons as a youngster\, Afi started playing gospel piano when she was 16. As an adult she always flirted with the bass. She’d pick it up\, study for a while and sell the bass. In 2009\, Afi decided to give it one last try\, but she gave herself a mission. This time\, she’d find a place to play. Fast forward. Fulfilling that bucket list item led to starting a band\, producing and releasing original music. \nWhat else does Afi do? Since 2004\, she’s worked as a teaching artist for elementary and high school students\, using music and songwriting for everything from anti-bigotry efforts to financial literacy. She’s also an award-winning journalist and author\, whose work has appeared in USAToday\, Essence.com and on NPR affiliates and programs. \nwww.afiplaysmusic.com

SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Shirley Cook with Ava Preston Trio
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music (WMM) is a free concert series\, programmed by Cleveland Rocks: Past\, Present\, Future\, as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. Held in the Waterloo Arts & Entertainment District\, the Tower series features local Waterloo area bands/musicians.\n\nFriday\, May 6\, 2022\n7pm at the Beachland Ballroom\nFree Show\n\n\nShirley Cook:\nShirley Cook is a sultry\, smoky\, and internationally acclaimed jazz singer from Cleveland\, Ohio. Ms. Cook has been bringing her improvisational jazz vocals to the Cleveland music scene for over 36 years. She’s been noted by the Plain Dealer as having a “deep alto voice reminiscent of the late Carmen McRae.” Also\, by the Call & Post for being a “dynamic jazz vocalist who has her own style with ballads and tempos.” Ms. Cook’s captivating and highly interactive performances have a way of making you feel like she’s singing to you and only you. Through her music\, Ms. Cook shares her personal experiences in hopes people will be able to connect and see themselves within her music.\nOver the course of her career\, Ms. Cook has derived numerous aspects of her style from her early roots in the gospel church. Born in Stotesbury\, West Virginia\, Ms. Cook moved to Cleveland at the age of two. At the age of eleven\, she began singing in a gospel music group alongside some of her aunts. They performed for numerous church and social functions throughout the city. Throughout her early life\, Ms. Cook continued to sing with her aunts and through the help of a friend\, was introduced to the inspirational music of the late Billie Holiday\, Etta James\, Abbey Lincoln\, and many more.\nAlong with her work on the stage\, Ms. Cook has devoted many years of her life to the care and nurturance of the Cleveland jazz scene. She has helped to organize the annual Tri-C Jazz Fest on multiple occasions. When asked to organize the event\, Ms. Cook rounded up 72 local musicians in a span of two weeks. Ms. Cook has an astounding record within the community and unceasingly projects her love for jazz in everything she does. Ms. Cook currently resides in the Cleveland area and continues to showcase her charismatic spirit through her performances.\n\n\n\nAva Preston:   \nAva has also performed as a guest singer at a number of national venues including Birdland Jazz Club (New York)\, Bluebird Café (Nashville)\, Andy’s Jazz Café (Chicago) and the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival (Easton\, MD). She has participated in some prestigious summer jazz workshops for vocalists including Grammy Camp\, Stanford Jazz Workshop\, Litchfield Jazz Camp\, New York Voices\, Jazz Port Townsend and Tri-C JazzFest Academy. \nAva sings a variety of genres and languages including songs in French\, Portuguese and Spanish. Ava draws inspiration from jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald\, Sarah Vaughn\, Billie Holiday\, Cyrille Aimee and Astrud Gilberto. Ava believes music is a universal language that can unite people and promote acceptance of differences around the world.  \nAva’s mentors include internationally acclaimed trumpeter Dominick Farinacci (TED Speaker & former Global Ambassador to Jazz at Lincoln Center)\, pianist Theron Brown (Director of the Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival)\, vocal icon Kim Nazarian (Grammy Nominated New York Voices)\, guitarist Kurt Reed (Director of Fairlawn & Hudson School of Music)\, and singer/songwriter Susan Anders (Acclaimed Nashville Vocal Coach) among others. \nAva’s artistic influences and inspiration are best explained in her own words. She writes:  \n“I find people inspiring most of all. Listening to the vocal “greats” including Ella Fitzgerald\, Billie Holiday\, Sarah Vaughn\, Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone and appreciating their strong voices\, not only in their singing\, but in equality for all\, truly made jazz into a movement as much as a genre. More modern artists such as Sarah Bareilles\, Nora Jones\, Alanis Morissette\, Stevie Nicks\, Eva Cassidy\, Esperanza Spalding\, Jazzmeia Horn\, Jean Baylor\, Somi\, and Diana Krall stimulate my creative expression.  \nI believe that music is a universal language that can unite people around the world. My platforms are dedicated to promoting unity and anti-bullying. My hope is to move society in a positive direction with my art. Although world peace is a nice thought\, I believe it is an unrealistic absolute for a flawed human condition. My goal is to spread world tolerance and the acceptance of differences through my music.” \n\n\nwww.avaprestonmusic.com\n\n\nThis specific show on May 6th is presented in collaboration with Soul City Cleveland\, Fanon Hill’s documentary project that exists as a movement for community education about local culture.\n\n\nThe WMM Series is made possible with support from The Ohio Arts Council and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

SUMMARY:A History of the Headshot: Anastasia Pantsios and Bridget Caswell
DESCRIPTION:Every band or musician should have a promotional headshot. In the old days\, a photographer like Anastasia Pantsios would be hired to take a few dozen shots in her studio or out at an interesting backdrop. The band would pick a shot from a proofsheet and the negative would be enlarged and printed with a logo as an 8×10 official promo shot that would be given to the press or added to a package handed to venues or promoters so you could look professional enough to be hired. Today you still have to have a good headshot but it’s done digitally and stored on your website or in an EPK (electronic press kit) for press and promoters to grab. This display at Space:ROCK Gallery shows both old and new school images. Anastasia’s work included DEVO\, Michael Stanley\, Spudmonsters\, The Generators and many more. Bridget Caswell recently photographed a handful of aspiring locals at our workshop on March 20 and represents a younger generation of music-loving photographers ready to snap a digital image. We will have a few other more recent images and are compiling a list of available photographers as part of this project.\n\nThanks to the Ohio Arts Council for the support to make this possible.

SUMMARY:Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts
DESCRIPTION:Friday Feb. 18\, 2022 at 8:00pm\nThe Akron Civic Knight Stage\nTickets are $20\, but if you call the box office directly\, (330-253-248) the tickets are $15. \n\nCory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts\, a Cleveland based honky-tonk band\, comes forth with a new album of old school Bakersfield-style country chock full of hard driving trucker tunes\, country waltzes and groovin’ hillbilly jams.

SUMMARY:Los Straitjackets w/Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts
DESCRIPTION:Los Straitjackets\nLos Straitjackets are the leading practitioners of the lost art of the guitar instrumental. Using the music of the Ventures\, The Shadows\, and with Link Wray and Dick Dale as a jumping off point\, the band has taken their unique\, high energy brand of original rock & roll around the world. \nClad in their trademark Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling masks\, the ‘Jackets’ have delivered their trademark guitar licks to 16 albums\, thousands of concerts and dozens of films and TV shows. Viva Los Straitjackets! \nCory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts\n​Playboy Scout Oath: “On my honor I will do my duty to Two Step Dancers and Honky Tonkers everywhere.” From Akron and Cleveland\, Ohio\, Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts take honky tonkin very seriously. Grinder started the band in 2016 when multiple hillbilly groups he played fiddle with fizzled out. Along with some other displaced musicians from these bands\, The Cory Grinder Band was formed. Stephen Karney\, known as “Tebbs\,” provides the silky\, smooth sounds of the pedal steel which drives the group along with harmony vocals. The low end is expertly handled on upright bass by Jason Willis. Leading the group on guitar and fiddle\, Cory Grinder writes original country tunes influenced by favorites like Merle Haggard\, Roger Miller\, and Willie Nelson. 2018 saw the release of their first album\, “Cahoots and Other Favorites\,” recorded with Grammy and Emmy nominated producer\, David Mayfield. That year also saw the addition of the very talented drummer\, Brian Roberts. Since then\, the band has taken to the road and toured through Nashville\, Pittsburgh\, New Orleans\, Chicago\, Texas\, North Carolina\, Detroit\, and more. Performance highlights include featuring Kenny Vaughan from Marty Stuart’s Fabulous Superlatives on guitar for a Nashville show. Plus Dale Watson inviting them to perform as his backing band for a set at legendary Texas venues The Broken Spoke and Continental Club. Up next for The Playboy Scouts is their instrumental Christmas album\, “Silver & Gold\, Fiddle & Steel.” A collection of classic Christmas songs with some country flair featuring Tebbs and Grinder\, available Nov. 1st. Plus Spring 2020 will see the release of their next full length\, original album\, “Honky Tonkin Beauty Supreme.” Lots of fun things are coming for these honky tonkers so join The Playboy Scouts and GET YOUR BADGES!
