At the risk of repeating myself again (ha!), Cleveland is steeped in all kinds of music. I have written about the biggies. You know, concerts at Severance Hall, at Blossom, at Oberlin, etc. But, if that’s all you think we have here in the CLE, well, you are very much mistaken. If you listen very […]
Cleveland is stupid with music. As I have written before, Severance Hall, home of the Cleveland Orchestra, is steps away from campus. Blossom is much more of a drive, but well worth it to hear the likes of Yo Yo Ma play all six Bach cello suites in one sitting. And, of course, there’s the […]

The Blossom Music Center, located in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Cuyahoga Falls, is the home of the Cleveland Orchestra and other musical guests during the summer. Blossom is an outdoor amphitheater in the middle of the park, a setting that […]
It’s Wednesday night in Cleveland, so you know what that means. That’s right, it’s Opera Night at the Music Box Supper Club! Actually, I don’t know if Opera Night is always on a Wednesday, but this particular night Mom and I caught it, and we were really happy that we did. On this Opera Night, […]

Who: Dana C. Crawford, PhDWhat: House of Blues (Lord Huron)Where: 308 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44114 No matter where you live, a universal truth remains: summer is for fun.
