On this week's episode of the CoolCLE Show, J speaks to the Greater Cleveland Chorus (left, above), a 60-strong, all female barbershop choir, about its free concert Come Fly with Us (Info) happening Tue 10/9 at the Independence Civic Center. The bird themed concert showcases its repertoire of songs being performed at the Sweet Adelines International Competition in St. Louis, Missouri.
She also previews two of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties (Info) with Cleveland authors, Anastasia Pantsios and Dave Schwensen. Pantsios is the editor of CoolCleveland and photographer whose photographic portfolio is part of a new book called Women to the Front: 40 Years of Women in Rock. Her photo of Pat Benetar is right, above. Schwensen, who wrote The Beatles in Cleveland, also talks about how the Fab Four's two concerts in the city back in the 60s were unlike any other. Plus, you can hear the brand new single from Cleveland's Seafair (Info) called Try, as well as music from Thor Platter (Info) and The Boom Shakalakas (Info).
