Jimmy Z & Z-Tribe

Jimmy Z And The Z-Tribe are what Harvelle's is all about!

A Saturday night, a packed house, a few cocktails and some of the best Chicago blues you'll hear outside the windy city. Jimmy Z plays harmonica and sax on tour with Etta James, and to paraphrase her - a better bluesman would be hard to find. Jimmy Z's got quite a pedigree, having played with everyone from Tom Petty to N.W.A. His performances at Harvelle's are legendary, so come check it out.

J.T. Ross : Blues Bday PartyAll Night Long!!

Come celebrate JT's birthday, raise your glass, give a little speech and dance to old school blues, rock & roll, R&B and Soul. . . All nite long!!

House Of Vibe : Tuna Melt

Chali 2na (below) gave us a party we won't soon forget Wednesday night at Harvelle's! The night's theme was 'sweat', and that we did, as the non-stop dance floor remained packed and kinetic.

House Of Vibe took their playing to an inspirational new level, as the musicians - Greg Raymond (keys), Pete Antunes (drums), Kris Hawkins (guitar), Corey Cofield (bass), Anthony Brewster (keys and vocals), Sebastian Legar (trumpet) Shaunte Palmer (trombone), Dan Boissy(sax)and Amy Lou (percussion) - jammed furiously, stunning and moving all at once. Westside Tribe members Deploi, Jon Swift and Tony Tarasco, took the stage like they were doing battle. And winning.

The party's highlight was Chali and his brother Laid Law (above). The H.O.V. backed hour-long set of new songs and classic Jurassic 5 (Chali's rap group) had the crowd singing along, waving their arms in the air and thrilled with the awesome 'robot dance' (below) he and Laid Law perpetrated.

Labor Of Love : The Toledo Show

Labor Day eve and where am I?

Celebrating at the Toledo Show!

Summer's practically over, but you wouldn't know by the heat inside Harvelle's this past Sunday night. Sweaty as H-E-L-L, the brave crowd endured and rocked so hard that they almost broke my neck!
