Review: Americana Music Festival, 9.2.07

The Americana Music Festival held Sunday featured 'Smooth' Mike's new combo Martini Five-O, Magnolia's band Cleveland Country Band AND Jennifer Parker (billed as Zahira) belly-dancing. They helped to make it a diverse and strong line-up.

In 2005, Clint Holley played a pivitol role in organizing Cleveland’s first Americana music festival. The event was a raging success and so he is pleased to announce that a celebration of twang is returning to the Lake Erie city in 2007. The Cleveland Americana Music Festival takes place at Cleveland’s Parish Hall (W. 62nd and Detroit Rd.) on Sunday, September 2nd and features live performances by local and regional Americana acts.
