Musical chameleon Beck Hansen is set to return to PlayhouseSquare on Thursday, June 19 when he plays the State Theatre. He last visited the facility in 2002 when he embarked on a national tour with psychedelic rockers the Flaming Lips as his backing band. His low-key new album, Morning Phase, has gotten rave reviews and shows just how much the guy has matured as a singer. Tickets are now on sale.

Jeff has been covering the Cleveland music scene for more than 25 years now. On a regular basis, he tries to talk to whatever big acts are coming through town. And if you're in a local band that he needs to hear, email him at jniesel@clevescene.com.
