Redwater Rojo is an awesome rock band native to Cleveland that throws a good show. The band's leader, Jason Myers, is so inspired by legend Robert Johnson that he went down to Mississippi to learn more and get closer to the spirit and roots of his idol. He returned to Cleveland making good music, which you can hear Saturday, May 27th at the HiFi in Lakewood. 8pm, Tickets $6.

Staff Infection Throws a Good Show

Rock-n-roll isn't my preferred genre, so that I bought a local bands discography is notable. The live show thrown by Staff Infection July 9th at the Winchester was, awesome. The band is made up of four guys, three guitars and a drum set. The combo had me dancing in my chair all night with songs from their cd "All About Myself" and a few covers.The music had my neck bobbing to "All About Me" (my new anthem), my feet tapping to “Don't Look Back,” and had me regretting that I drank my drink before they could play "Alcohol." Lead singer Bobby Rose knows my pain, and probably yours too, as demonstrated with the cut “Renee.”

 

With every song they played, I was sucked in by the guitars. These men are talented, and they have good voices and showmanship, complete with a lot of jumping around and the destruction of a guitar (I have the knob to prove it). Lyrics and guitars are where it's at. They do an awesome job of throwing a show you want to see more of.  Their other cd is "No Protection, Now you've Got... Staff Infection."
