Cold Outside? Ryan Cross Turns Up The Heat!

T.G.I.F.! 

Tonight, Ryan Cross turns Harvelle's into a jazz hotspot when he rolls through with Brandon Coleman and amazing drummer Will Kennedy.

The feature tonight is Toni Peete. (right)

This core group is more than enough entertainment value for your money, but Ryan knows all the hottest and most innovative players and singers in town, and some of them always stop by to turn up the heat!

Come early.

Ryan's dynamic ensemble promises to be one of the funkiest events Harvelle's has hosted in recent weeks.

Luminosity : Dedicated and Conscious

R&B, Reggae and Hip-Hop blend together nicely on a mix CD, but seeing a band throw it down live, seamlessly and with passion is a whole 'nother thang. The Luminous Movement return to Harvelle's Thursday, Nov 20 to delve deeper into their own unclassifiable genre. This encore performance will be a trip into their conscious positive vibe. 

The evening's host, Freewill of Luminaries will lead his band through the smooth grooves from 10 til 2. DJ Dr FU will be spinnin the best of good vibrations. Check out my man Alexis on the skins! Come through and leave musically enlightened.

The Toledo Show : You better ask somebody!!!

More energetic than So Cal Edison, and certainly way way funkier, The Toledo Show starring Mr Toledo Diamond, is one hell of a power supply!!! Fronting his impossibly soulful revue, he leads his army of grimey funkateers through their paces for your pleasure. And that's not all. His troupe of dancers, The Dames, satisfy your lust for beauty in the form of women who dance with wild abandon. One of the underground's best kept secrets, the club is always at capacity when Sunday night rolls around. Don't sleep!!!

Funkin' Fuzed Blooz with J.T. Ross

Thursday night Harvelle's hosts the triumphant return of J.T. Ross, the harmonica boss to show what harmonoica blooz is all about.
