Featured Event: The Lakewood Kar Kulture Show (on Madison Avenue between Lewis Dr. and Clarence Ave.)

Saturday, August 18th will be an auto enthusiast's dream come true. But, as cool as it is to check out the classic cars and hot rods (all pre-1972), the Lakewood Kar Kulture Show is more than just cars - there’s also a heck of a good lineup of music.

Detroit rockabilly trio Bones Maki and the Sun Dodgers have been together since 2001. Their sound recalls the early days of rockabilly, with the band performing their tunes in a stripped down format (without drums) of electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and string bass. The group has played everywhere from Las Vegas to Chicago to England, Holland, and Spain, and now it’s Lakewood’s turn to check ‘em out.

Also bringing some first rate rockabilly to the streets of Lakewood are Kentucky’s The Star Devils. They’ve played all across the fine United States as well, sharing the stage with everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Ike Turner to Hank Williams III along the way.

Rounding out the day’s musical entertainment is Lakewood’s own Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival. The duo of Brother Ed (drums/vocals) and Brother Ant (guitar/vocals) has been giving Hell to the Devil since 2001 with their brand of lo-fi garage rock. If you’ve never seen an Uncle Scratch show, you don’t want to miss this opportunity.

Now That’s Class (11213 Detroit Ave., Cleveland)

Saturday, August 11th, The Regulations (from Sweden), Caustic Christ (from Pittsburgh), and The Bill Bondsmen (from Detroit) will take the stage. Fans of raw uncompromising rock will definitely want to be there. 18 and over.

Friday, August 10th the Tavern will have Andy Tanas. Andy is best known for his stint in Black Oak Arkansas from 1977 to 1980. He also played bass for Swiss metal band Krokus in the mid-eighties.
