“What is Cutetallica”, you ask? It’s my daughter’s latest School of Rock band (earlier, here and here). What else could it be?
If you’re in the Cleveland area over the next three weekends, you have three different chances to see the band.
- September 6 and 13 at the Music Box Supper Club, 1148 Main Ave., on the West Bank of the Flats. Show time, 2 pm.
- September 21, at the Metroparks Chalet, 16200 Valley Parkway, Strongsville. Show time, 4 pm.
If you’re there, please stop by and say hello.
