Video Day #tzachill

The Lumineers presents some intriguing slices of life - and love! - in their new video for Brightside.  TZA House Concert alums, Oliver Hazard just released their new single and video for Use Me Up.  Maya de Vitry released this personal and touching video for her single Dogs Run On.

Bonus:  Danz CM (former Computer Magic) slowed things down for this gorgeous video, that I would LOVE to know where it was filmed...

Metz (12/13/21)

Not a lot happening concert-wise on a quick Sunday/Monday late December jaunt to Washington DC.  Luckily I was able to catch Metz at Union Stage.  Well, a little bit at least.  They were the second band to play (despite being headliner) so I was glad to catch what I did!

Shakey Graves (12/8/21)

This was my second night in a row at the Agora!  While Khruangbin was fine, I was really happy to go back for a completely different vibe with Shakey Graves again, and S.G. Goodman opening.  Shakey Graves really upped his stage show at the Agora, fully maximizing on the available light show!  Great as always.

S.G. Goodman was very charming in her progressive southern ways.  I’m all on board her train.

Cleveland Orchestra / Sheku Kanneh-Mason (11/4/21)

While I work right next to Severance Hall, its beauty always delights when I’m able to go inside for a performance - and it’s been quite awhile.  The Cleveland Orchestra, along with Sheku Kanneh-Mason, performed Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade in A minor, Elgar’s Cello Concert in E minor, and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 6 in D major. However i’ll let those over at Bachtrack do the a proper review… but here was my favorite part of his performance:

"As an encore, Kanneh-Mason played his own wistful arrangement of the Chicago Klezmer Ensemble’s Mazltov Far Di Mekhutonim, which showed off the performer’s talent for whistling, self-accompanied on cello. It was haunting. Kanneh-Mason is supremely talented, with the promise of a very successful career, and he had a rapturous reception here in Cleveland."

(Via Sheku Kanneh-Mason makes highly successful debut with The Cleveland Orchestra | Bachtrack.)

Dead Horses (10/25/21)

At the Hocking Hills Music Festival, the Dead Horses announced that they’d be performing at the Kent Stage in the coming weeks, and this was that show!  While they technically opened for Sierra Hull, I was only there to see Dead Horses again.  I can attest they are just as good performing in a theater as they are at at a festival.

My friend Tim liked them so much, he just had to tell them how much.  :-)

The Felice Brothers (10/22/21)

After hearing their names bandied about for years, I was finally able to catch The Felice Brothers - at the Happy Dog of all places!  Alright!  This group is definitely a party band, and quite appropriate for the Happy Dog / Cleveland crowd this night - they were a blast!
