Description

Alex Bevan & Brent Kirby on the Bronson Green! Two of Northeast Ohio's best and most celebrated singer/songwriters, Alex Bevan and Brent Kirby will perform on the beautiful Bronson Green. If you are from Northern Ohio you might know Alex Bevan as the guy who wrote and performed “Skinny Little Boy,” “Grand River Lullaby” and “Have Another Laugh on Cleveland Blues!” If you are a boater or frequent visitor to Put-in-Bay you would recognize him as a mainstay at The Boathouse on South Bass for over twenty years, a regular performer at watering holes on Kelley’s Island, that fellow who produced most of Pat Dailey’s recordings and the troubadour at any number of yacht clubs along the North Shore armed with a guitar and a ball cap slinging spontaneous blarney. One of the Plain Dealer's "25 Acts to Watch" Brent Kirby is a night's stroll with a rock n' roll romantic. This does not mean Kirby's merely a smitten troubadour, or a bard for the wayward but colorful life of musicians. Though his own songs bring up those immortal topics, Kirby's romanticism is much bigger than that. His songs start with the introspective stir of strum and voice, but just like his performances, quickly move outward and embrace the listener. Kirby, who grew up in Wisconsin and has lived playing music in places as varied as Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cleveland, has acquired a keen narrator's eye. Playing bars and clubs since his early teens, his lyrics dictate life in the moment, not as nightly grinds, but as places where dreams really come to life in gritty color. Gates open at 6:30/ Music at 7pm General Admission ticket- $22.00 This is a rain or shine event. If the weather turns, we will move to inside the G.A.R.
