Two local bands will take the stage Friday, Aug. 3.
Check back every Friday for Cheap Date: one weekend event or activity that won't break the bank. Two Cleveland-based bands will take the stage at Cain Park tonight, and you can hear them both for just five bucks. If you’re a fan of Feist, Arcade Fire or Spoon, you may enjoy the music from Modern Electric. The band has coined its sound “cinematic pop — soul, melody, and emotion saturated in the warmth of 8mm film to soundtrack those moments in life that are just like in the movies.” Another band that hails from Cleveland — Attack Cat — is headlining the show. A video of the song “Remarkable," included with this article, features a few places in Cleveland that you may recognize. The Plain Dealer said the duo was one of "25 Northeast Ohio …

The 38-year-old singer/songwriter will make a stop in his hometown during his summer tour.
Joshua Radin picked up a guitar for the first time about a decade ago. The 38-year-old Shaker Heights native didn't spend his high school years jamming with friends in their parents’ garages, and he never took guitar lessons. He taught himself to play, and used the instrument to soothe his nerves, especially when he was frustrated while writing screenplays in New York City. He wrote six films, two of which were bought but never made it to the big screen. “I had no aspirations to become a professional musician by any means,” Radin said, who also taught art to middle school students in Chicago and majored in painting and drawing at Northwestern University. “I found that I would pick up a guitar and it would calm me.” Little did he know the …

The singers will take the stage in Cleveland Heights this weekend.
Cain Park is paying homage to great performers who hit big in the '90s. At least, that's how it seems. First the Cleveland Heights park featured The Counting Crows in its summer concert series. The venue also booked Fiona Apple, who just released her first album in seven years in June and performed July 6. This Saturday, Grammy award winners Seal and Macy Gray will take the stage at Evans Amphitheater. Seal, of "Kiss From A Rose" fame, will perform his popular music and classics and is headlining the show. Gray, another soulful singer known for her raspy, bluesy voice, will open. Fans probably remember her hit "I Try" from the album On How Life Is, which came out in 1999. She recently released an album with a collection of covers, …

The 2012 Cain Park Arts Festival will feature the work of 150 artists, and Cleveland Heights Patch has selected a few to tell you about. We'll provide a brief profile of one artist each day leading up to and during the event. R.N. Goldthwaite specializes in ergonomic chair and bench design. On his website, he describes the intricate process he uses to make sure the Windsor Western Reserve Chair Company chairs are comfortable. And he customizes each piece. "(The design is) deceptively simple, the dips and swells that lend such an elegant line are actually made to support and cradle a person’s frame with the utmost comfort, delighting you with support and support with each curve of wood and flourish of design," according to Goldthwaite's …

The Cleveland resident is inspired by the city around her and has taken photographs of The West Side Market, Indians games, abandoned warehouses and skate parks. "I originally picked up a camera and began to capture images because of my constant need to people watch, and excitement over naturally placed splashes of color in a otherwise forgotten landscape," Finnegan wrote in the about me page on her website. "Holding a camera, I find it …

We'll provide a brief profile of one artist each day leading up to and during the event. Keith Culley says his stainless steel pendants and earrings are simple and practical. The mostly square and rectangular pieces aren't embellished with gems or designs, but it's obvious that Culley took careful consideration when arranging and creating the shapes. Culley grew up in a farm in rural Ohio, and he said the experience influenced his preference for a simple, ordered look rather than a busy, complex one. "...simplicity and efficiency were part of daily life, as was the application of form following function. …

We'll provide a brief profile of one artist each day leading up to and during the event. Artist Linda Adato specializes in etching landscapes, especially the urban ones all around her at her home in Brooklyn, NY, but she doesn't pigeonhole herself to one place. The rooftops and trees she can see from her back porch, the financial district and ancient ruins have all served as inspiration for her work. "I work in the printmaking technique of intaglio in which the areas etched are below the surface of the plate. I am attracted to the dramatic interplay of light and shadow which can be achieved in the etching…

We'll provide a brief profile of one artist each day leading up to and during the event. Before John Boyett of Canton Glass Works learned the art of glass blowing, he joined the U.S. Air Force because he wanted to see the world, according to his website. After serving, the Florida native returned home, pursued and completed both an associate’s and a bachelor’s of fine arts, and joined the University of Miami glass blowing guild. After traveling a bit more, Boyett landed in Northeast Ohio in 1997 to study glass at Kent State University. “And in April 2006, I co-founded and opened Akron Glass Works,” wrote …
