We are having a variety of email woes! If you're on our email list and haven't gotten an email from us about the Arc Iris show, it is because about one-third of our list is bouncing. Mainly yahoo, sbcglobal and att.net email addresses but a few others as well.
Even if you did get an email from us, if you reply to it, it probably will bounce without us getting it.
Hopefully, we will get this all resolved soon. If anyone is a whiz at these things and can offer some advice, we would be very happy to hear it.
In the meantime, if you want to RSVP to Arc Iris or contact for some other reason, please do so with a brand new email to mechanicstreetmusic@yahoo.com or send us a message on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks!
Live music in a 100-year-old house. Just you, the artist, and some new friends.

Kevin Welch
Kevin Welch
Friday, October 11th
Doors open at 7:00pm. Music at 8:00pm.
We'll have chili and soup, so plan on coming early!
Without Kevin Welch, we would not be doing house concerts. He is the first Americana musician who caught Lynn's ear. The first time we went to a house concert it was to see him. He is an incredible performer who has so many great songs that it is hard to sum him up. One song will be a scorcher about partying in Amsterdam, the next a snapshot of life in Oklahoma oil country, and the next a prayer for a long, full life. This is another rare treat. Since we moved here in 2007, the closest he's come to Cleveland is Columbus (it was SO worth the trip).

Kieran Kane--Saturday, September 14th
Doors open at 7:30. Music at 8:00pm.
$15 suggested donation, all of which goes to the artist. You must email mechanicstreetmusic@yahoo.
Kieran Kane is an iconic songwriter and performer and one of the founding artists of the Americana movement. His ability to create mini-movies within his songs—check out “Anybody’s Game”—prove that Kane is among only a small handful of writers capable of blending traditional roots music with modern themes.
“There’s an understated power in the songs of Kieran Kane, all full of twang and heartache and romance and guys who were born to ramble.” - Associated Press

Swear and Shake
Saturday, June 29th
8pm
"I really do love all the songs on [Swear and Shake's latest album]. For one thing, they don't sound alike at all. Fabulous is the band who can string together cohesive tunes into a stellar record without regurgitating the same themes, chords, styles, and even melodies.
Fans of She and Him, The Head and the Heart, Fleet Foxes, and Mumford and Sons will love Swear and Shake. - See more at: http://awaitingtheflood.com/the-new-standard-by-which-all-other-albums-will-be-judged-maple-ridge-by-swear-and-shake/#sthash.bJqw1btr.dpuf

This fast-rising Brooklyn quartet is coming to Mechanic Street. Lucky us! They blend equal parts soul, folk, and rock into their own fine, fun mix. They've opened for a slew of bands like Weezer, the Lumineers, and G Love and the Special Sauce. With their excellent 2nd release, they are spending more and more time as headliners. This will be a full band show (drums, banjo, awesome lead singer, the whole nine-yards).
My first attempt at reviewing Maple Ridge went a little something like this:
Swear and Shake just… This album… I don’t even… Holy mother of… I LOVE ALL THE SONGS!
Complete lack of professionalism aside, I really do love every song on this album. For one thing, they don’t sound alike at all. Fabulous is the band who can thread together cohesive tunes into a stellar record without regurgitating the same themes, chords, styles, and even melodies. In this regard, Swear and Shake is fabulous.

The fun gets started at 11:00am each Saturday and runs until 4:00pm.
Here's the schedule for the whole summer:
Open Air in Market Square is sponsored by First Merit Bank, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, Bazaar Bizarre, Penzey's Spices, and Ohio City, Inc.

Gurf Morlix Finds the Present Tense
On Sunday, May 19, Gurf Morlix will give listeners at Mechanic Street House Concerts a dose of his new album, Gurf Morlix Finds the Present Tense. It’s ten new songs of desperation and desire, done in his unsettlingly honest style. Though Morlix is known for producing chart topping records for artists like Ray Wylie Hubbard, Lucinda Williams, Slaid Cleaves, and Robert Earl Keen, his own records are top spins by Folk/Roots stations across the country and in Europe.
Roy Kasten of KDHX says that Morlix writes “with a flair for wit and mystery.” And of the album, "...it is acoustic country blues with flashes of electric lightining and crazy carnival organ when least expected." Bill Bentley of the Austin Chronicle says, “the man sings with such beautiful sadness…” Morlix is an Americana Music Association Award Winner and multiple nominee for Instrumentalist of the Year, and so fulfills the triple threat of Americana/Roots musicianship: soul-grabbing singing before a backdrop of unforgettable songwriting and expert instrumentation It all comes together like a charm at his live shows.
Doors open at 6:30, Music at 7:00.
$15 suggested donation, all of which goes to the artist.
