Soul Funk Tuesday : Full Of Grace
Chase all your blues away.
The Soul Funk night at Harvelle's is every Tuesday.
Ryan Cross brings his big show through and fills the room with beautiful music, dope beats and sexy women. The atmosphere is upbeat - and that's the way it swings at this impromptu jam session.
This past Tuesday, it was ALL funk ALL jazz ALL soul ALL night long! Mr. Cross was nowhere in the place, but Brandon Coleman and Gene Coye were there to bring it! And it was brought! The MC (and on bass) was Ian Martin.
Add to the mix a plethora of talented guests stopping by and jamming! Among them, guitarist/vocalist Todd Washington, House Of Vibe/Toledo Show drummer Pete Antunes, an awesome singer/drummer known as Kiki, Harvelle's fave - vocalist Nichelle Monroe, James Allen who also took a turn on the drums, a horn player named José kicked some serious (br)ass, as did Kamasi Washington - also on sax. There were quite a few others, who's names I didn't catch.
It was an incredible night of beautiful people and beautiful music. Ryan's gonna kick himself for missing it!

Kirk Fletcher : Jam Of The Week
The jam of the week?
It's only Monday!
Kirk and the Gang have completely taken over Monday nights at Harvelle's.
Kirk Fletcher - guitar wizard and new school blues man - maintains his black t-shirt, black pants and black shoes and stays in the shadows, letting his playing speak for itself. There's a revolving cast of musicians that play alongside Kirk, but everyone knows who's running things.

Toledo Show : B-day Bash
Last week, the annual celebration of Toledo Diamond's birthday was a bash of awesome proportions! Shiny silver was the night's theme, the crowd roared in approval and everyone shook it on the dance floor all night long, as The Toledo Show presented their 3D erotic cabaret in their own breathless style. Beyond funky, the music is controlled madness, the dancing Dames entice and beckon and an orgasmic time is practically guaranteed (although your mileage may vary).
