Let me second Richard's recommendation to go see some
shows at OLO! Last summer one of my friends was a
performer there and I got to see about 5 shows of the
season. They were wonderful. You should really look
into making the trip to Wooster...and have dinner at
the Olde Jail House Restaurant. It's really good too.
And as long as you're in the Cleveland area, may I
suggest you visit the Cleveland Museum of Art. It has
a world class collection and while it is not a "music
stop", it's well worth seeing. You said you liked
Jazz as well???? Night Town is a jazz club in
Cleveland Heights on Cedar Road. I got to see Jane
Monheit there a few months ago and they always have
good artists stopping in. And as long as you're
around, you might as well stop by Berea Summer Theater
and see me in "Will Rogers Follies" and "The Melody
Lingers On: The Music of Irving Berlin." Cleveland is
a nice place to be for summer music. OH! I almost
forgot to mention the Blossom Summer Music Festival.
They have concerts ranging from rock bands to The
Cleveland Orchestra. It is in Kent, Ohio. That is
worth looking into as well.
Happy Travelling!
