FRI 07/01

Aaron Lewis and the Stateliners
Singer Aaron Lewis is best known as the frontman for Staind, the Springfield, Mass.-based band that formed in 1995 and was active up until this year. Lumped in with the nu-metal hard rock acts popular at the time, the group toured with acts like Limp Bizkit in 1999 and then broke through to the mainstream with 2001’s Break the Cycle, an album that featured the moody power ballad “It’s Been Awhile,” a powerful breakup tune about trying to recover one’s self-esteem. It became the group’s biggest hit. Lewis performs at 8 tonight at MGM Northfield Park — Center Stage. Consult the venue's website for more info.
10705 Northfield Rd., Northfield, 330-908-7793, mgmnorthfieldpark.mgmresorts.com/en.html.

Wilderado
Indie rockers Wilderado have over three million monthly listeners and just released their self-titled debut album this past October. The exuberant single "Head Right" broke the Top Ten on the Alternative chart after the late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The band has built a strong following across several EP releases and years of touring with Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie (of Fleetwood Mac), Pete Yorn, Mt. Joy and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. The group plays Mahall's 20 Lanes in Lakewood tonight at 7. Toledo opens the show. Consult the venue's website for more info.

SUN 07/10

An Evening with Dave Mason
Traffic keyboardist Steve Winwood reportedly once complained that guitarist Dave Mason thought of the group as his backing band and would bring the guys finished songs and then expect them to play them exactly as they were written. Since parting ways with Traffic, Mason has proven Windwood wrong and has managed to have a solid solo career. For his current tour, Mason will play a selection of tunes from throughout his lengthy career. Tonight's show begins at 7:30 at the Kent Stage.
175 E. Main St., Kent, 330-677-5005, kentstage.org.

MON 07/11

Vision Video
Athens, GA-based post-punk, goth-rockers Vision Video comes to town tonight in support of its latest album, Haunted Hours. The album relates frontman Dusty Gannon's direct experiences witnessing the atrocities of war and the horrors of COVID and gun violence. A former U.S. Marine and current Atlanta Fire Department EMT, Gannon possesses a voice that really soars. Tonight's concert begins at 8 at the Foundry.
11729 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 216-555-6669, facebook.com/foundrycleveland.

TUE 07/12

DakhaBrakha
Experimenting with folk music, Ukraine's DakhaBrakha has added a range of world music and instrumentation to its repertoire and has traveled the globe to perform in many worldwide music festivals. The band recently started its U.S. tour amongst the unsteadiness of events taking place in its homeland but will use the tour to raise monies that will all go to providing relief to friends and family in Kiev with a focus on helping them rebuild their lives. The group performs at 8 tonight and tomorrow night at Music Box Supper Club. Consult the club's website for ticket prices and more info.
1148 Main Ave., 216-242-1250, musicboxcle.com.

The Doobie Brothers
The classic rock band that’s sold some 48 million albums during the course of a career that stretches back five decades, intended to play Blossom in 2020 as part of a 50th anniversary tour. The pandemic put the trek on hold, and the group is now slated to play tonight at the venue. Expect to hear hits such as "What a Fool Believes," "Listen to the Music," "Takin' It to the Streets" and "Jesus Is Just Alright." The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
1145 W. Steels Corners Rd., Cuyahoga Falls, 216-231-1111, livenation.com.

An Evening with Todd Rundgren
Singer-guitarist Todd Rundgren has spent the past couple of years playing a series of tour dates billed as An Unpredictable Evening with Todd Rundgren, and it’s quite appropriate, because “unpredictable” is a perfect summary of his career in a nutshell. It’s all part of the “choose your own adventure” feeling that comes with being a Rundgren fan. More than four decades into his career, the veteran artist and producer continues to be driven to explore the new challenges and ideas whenever the inspiration might strike. He’s keenly aware that his musical experiments can test the limits and patience of his fans and yet if there’s a line, it doesn’t seem like he’s afraid of driving over it. Tonight's show at the Kent Stage begins at 6:30. Check the club's website for ticket prices.
175 E. Main St., Kent, 330-677-5005, kentstage.org.
