10 Things Going on this Weekend in Cleveland (October 10 - 12)

Join Engage! Cleveland for our CLE YP Week closing party! Hear highlights from the week’s event and mix and mingle with fellow young professionals at one of Cleveland’s best venues, the Cleveland Zoo! At 6:00pm the event will start with a behind the scenes tour of the elephant exhibit. From there, we will head to the new carousel, which will be in operation for our group. Your ticket includes the behind the scenes tour, hors’ douvres, a drink ticket and more!

For most artists, making the transition from clubs to arenas would be welcomed. But Nashville singer-guitarist Eric Church isn’t like most artists. When he embarked on the Blood, Sweat and Beers tour in 2012 and 2013, he found his popularity had suddenly soared and he was playing bigger venues. “We got jerked out of the smaller clubs and the next thing I knew, we were in an arena,” he says via phone from his home where he was on a 12-hour break after playing the annual iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas. “It was a little bit of whiplash for me. I missed the vibe of a club or theater when everyone is on top of each of other and that spirit is moving.” Catch him in action tonight at 7 p.m. tonight at Quicken Loans Arena. Tickets: $25-$59.50 (Niesel).

Gravelly voiced singer Eddie Money was a bit of a late bloomer. He started performing in the late ’60s but didn’t sign a record deal until 1977. His self-titled debut became a huge hit and yielded singles like “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Baby Hold On.” Money continued to deliver hits throughout the ’80s until struggles with addiction nearly derailed his career. More than 10 years ago, he joined a 12-step program, embraced sobriety and commenced regularly touring and recording again. In 2012, he released a single, “One More Soldier Coming Home,” that benefited the Fallen Heroes Fund. Expect to hear it alongside hits such as “Take Me Home Tonight” and “Shakin’” at tonight’s show. Money loves Northeast Ohio so expect the guy to give it his all. See him live tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Tangier. Tickets: $35-$75. (Jeff Niesel)

The Lake Erie Monsters, the minor league team for the Colorado Avalanche, opened their season yesterday in Grand Rapids, and they play their first home game tonight at the Q at 7 against the same Grand Rapids Griffins they played last night. The team features 19 players who didn’t make the Avalanche, and coach Dean Chynoweth returns for his third season. The first 7,500 fans who attend tonight’s game will receive a free Fathead schedule. Tickets start at $10. (Niesel)

The Halloween spirit arises tonight at the Breakneck Gallery with its newest show, Creeps, Critters and Creaks in the Night, an exhibit that runs through the end of the month. Featuring local artists, the spooky show will encompass various media and styles, offering a little something for everyone. Tonight’s opening reception runs from 6 to 10 with an after party at the Spitfire Saloon. Admission is free. (Trenholme)

This year, artemisia was voted the International Herb Association’s Herb of the Year. That’s just one of the many tidbits of info you’ll gather at the 69th annual Herb Fair. The event, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cleveland Botanical Garden, will also feature new products such as cocktail mixers, including novelties such as the Spicy Bloody Mary Mix and Apple Cider Manhattan Mix. Perennials Preferred, Auburn Pointe greenhouse and Mulberry Creek Herb Farms will be at the fair to sell perennials, native plants, fairy gardens and garden-themed gifts. Proceeds benefit the herb society’s scholarship program and their herb garden planted on the Botanical Garden’s grounds. Admission is free with regular Botanical Garden admission. (Niesel)
