"We're excited to be hosting concerts all summer with socially distanced reserved seating, food service from Cleveland Heights restaurants, and local bands and performers," said Kathy Blackman, owner of the local venues Grog Shop and B Side Lounge.
With a range of beloved series, and new fan favorites, the venues are coming back in full swing. A new life has been breathed into the local music scene, as independent artists flock to the stages with new and vibrant material. Artists like Red Rose Panic, Mixed Feelings, Liz Kelly, and Apostle Jones, are lighting up the local scene. Fans who have spent the year cooped up are eager to come back to the local music scene.
B Side and is also a haven to local comedians and artists, who have been providing entertainment for socially distanced crowds since October 2020. Their Lyrical Rhythms event, an open mic event from 7:00 pm-9:00 pm, and an Open Mic at 9:00 pm. Their Make ‘Em Laugh Mondays is one of Cleveland’s longest-running comedy shows. Their ability to weather through a worldwide pandemic that has forced many venues to close is a testament to the dedication and devotion of the Coventry Village neighborhood.
The Grog Shop has an amazing linup of local food vendors at their Thursday night Show and Snack Series. Boss Doc Brewing Co., MOJO World Eats, Tommy’s, and GiGi’s on Fairmount are all making an appearance. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get out, safely, and enjoy a night out while supporting local artists and businesses.
