Vine and Bean Cafe, Cleveland, Ohio

We have three big shows for you at Vine and Bean this week, and as long as nature sticks with us, they will all be in the beauty and splendor of our garden patio.

Thursday, June 24: Troubadours of Divine Bliss

We are so delighted that the Troubadours of Divine Bliss have made us a regular stop on their never-ending tour. As most of you know, there shows are always super fun, super engaging, beautiful, and full of, well, bliss.

For the as-of-yet un-exposed, the Troubadours are a duo out of Louisville, Kentucky who have won many awards, played all the big festivals all over the world and still can be seen up-close for a little while.

Aim Me Smiley sings  lead vocals and plays guitar while Renee Ananda sings harmonies and plays accordion. While their playing is always intricate and tasty, it’s their harmonies that win my heart every time I see them.

There website is promising “Songs, stories & Steph under the stars!”

Friday, June 25: Kerry Kean

Kerry is touring in support of his most recent recording, New River Guitarism.

FolkWorld put it like this:

Kerry Kean’s album (New River Guitarism) stays primarily in the well-known territory of modern easy-listening compositions for finger-picked guitar, with smooth melodies and harmonies. An up-tempo version of the classic fiddle tune “Red-Haired Boy” with well-crafted improvisational passages alters the otherwise characteristic sound of the album. A strikingly beautiful rendition of the John Dowland piece “Flow My Tears” seems to bring out the best of Kean’s guitar playing, matched only by his original piece “After the Harvest”, for which Kean won the 2008 Kent State Folk Festival talent contest.

Saturday, June 26: Gene’s Jazz Hot

Gene brings back the quartet for some musical magic under the stars.

Come swing on the patio!
