Eilen Jewell
Cafe at Arts Collinwood

Show starts @ 8:30pm –

Tickets:$8 adv / $10 dos

Our new Americana friend Eilen Jewell is crisscrossing the Midwest from festival to festival and needed a little stop on the road so we created a special show at the Cafe at Arts Collinwood, just a block down the road from the Beachland. This Boston band hit last year with the Sea of Tears release, which spent weeks and weeks on the Americana chart and on playlists around the country. This lady rocks with a roots/rockabilly beat that recalls Buddy Holly and early Elvis.

Bruno Casiano has wowed galleries with his vibrant palette and exceptional vision for years now, and we are pleased to present his work in our cafe. Join Bruno this Friday, June 11 from 6-8pm as we celebrate his artwork, and enjoy the opening kick off for the Ohio Independent Film Festival to be held at Beachland Ballroom the entire weekend. (see our website post for festival details.)

Below is Mr. Casiano’s artist statement -

As a child growing up in the Island of Puerto Rico, I encountered the wild rural life of a small town called Juana Diaz. Since, this has been the motivating factor of my artwork, composed of sub-conscience interpretations of mountains, mangos, ceiba trees, caves and the awareness of being on an island. This is the key part of the process of my work, which dips into these memories seen through the eyes of a young kid, where depth of a brilliant sky becomes entangled with leaves, branches, water, colors, forms and high contrast.

This euphoria of the creative process finds the measuring place in the tangible material. Two parallels, man and material interact concurrent to such objective, called art. The complexity of its continuous resurrection repeats itself in many stages throughout the entire existence in which materials are being manipulated. By these undetermined or determined allusions, composed by the surreal and real, singular and plural thoughts which constantly recall stages of  my human experience.

This subjectivity and visual pursuit for the “truth” is which gives birth to the process and creation, and continues to break esthetic interpretations, which results into my final art work. Saludos a mis hermanitos en Juana Diaz, al Joemoro, al Baby, al Ramiro Dasilva, el Pedroco, al Red y al Marioco, y al Monkey man que se encuentra en Dallas. Su amigo el El Brunaco.

After releasing a self titled LP on Exit Stencil Recordings we hit the road playing the Midwest and East Coast including this years CMJ fest in NYC. Their travels have found them back in Cleveland prepping new material and working on various video projects, on of which will be debuting over the course of these events.

With the winter settling in their decision to approach Art’s Collinwood about a residency came from not only the desire to play and play often, but also as a reaction to the often draining doldrums of February in Cleveland.  As we all know, it’s cold and winter starts to drag on,  so having a series of free shows with friends is their attempt to fight the tedium the best they know how,  which one could say is loudly.  This  is their collective encouragement to have some winter fun.  Join us as we make our way toward this first spring of a new decade. All events below will be at Arts Collinwood.
Doors at 9pm – Free – DJ sets early and late from the bands
Visual Art by Ryan Weitzel / Jeff Deasy / Nick Riley of Mystery of Two in the Cafe at Arts Collinwood
Debut of the new Mystery of Two video for Mornings Call Filmed by Jon Mancinetti at Arts Collinwood
