Nick Cave: One More Time With Feeling 3D 12.1

One More Time With Feeling 3D, starring Nick Cave, starts 12/1 at The Cedar Lee Theatre.

Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something much more significant as director Andrew Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination. Filmed in black-and-white and color, in 3D, the result is stark, fragile and raw.

Night Market Cleveland 6.24

Authentically Asian, uniquely Cleveland is the unofficial theme behind a brand-new summertime event that debuted last year with the high hopes of drawing different groups together. The Night Market Cleveland enters its second season from 5-11pm Fri 6/24 along E. 21st between St. Clair Avenue and Superior Avenue. This summer soiree features 120 food, arts and crafts vendors along with musicians. 

"It’s kind of a blend of a maker market, a food show, a farmer’s market, as well as a concert series. Basically, the idea was to take a community and kind of like throw it up on the board for all of Cleveland to experience. There’s a big art component because that area has a big set of artists. It’s also representing the Asian community as well, so it’s kind of a blend and a representation of that culture and the creative community that surround the event."—Night Market CLE event coordinator Brendan Trewella [coolcleveland.com]
