A Shelter Storm is Brewing

Local artists and musicians have joined to begin touring shelters and meal sites, providing entertainment for homeless persons in the Cleveland area. This rag-tag group of poets, fiddlers, and gospel singers begin their tour (cordially referred to as the Shelter Storm Revue Tour) on Friday, March 24^th, at 7:30 PM. The opening show will be held at the 2100 Lakeside Men’s Shelter. Among those agreeing to perform at the Friday evening gala affair are Meagen Hueslenbeck, a local poet; Gary Nelson, an old timey balladeer; Progeny, a popular Cleveland-based gospel group; and Josh Kanary, a suburban folk musician.

Following close on the heels of the 2100 Lakeside show, the Tour will make its next stop at the VOA Shelter on 2710 Walton Ave. on the 4^th of April. The festivities begin at 8:30 PM, featuring the same cast of characters doing what they do best. The escapade doesn’t end there. The Revue Tour will continue rolling to the Y-Haven shelter (located at 6001 Woodland Ave.) on May 12^th, this time taking the stage at 10:15 AM so they can finish up just in time for lunch.

Shelter Storm is negotiating dates to perform in June and July in order to continue its once a month tour of duty. The Revue Tour is always seeking to enlist local talent. The only requirements are a good heart and a soul that’s on fire. Artists who wish to get involved with the Revue Tour should contact Josh Kanary at the offices of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless (216.432.0540).
