CLEVELAND, Tenn. – After two weeks of tornado cleanup, the downtown Cleveland focus this weekend is entertainment.
Friday evening features the Evening Shade outdoor concerts at Johnston Park. On Saturday, music and arts continue with the First Street Square arts festival.
In its 17th season, Evening Shade is a free, family-friendly series presented by the Allied Arts Council of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce and funded in part by the Tennessee Arts Commission.
Pete Rivera, former drummer and lead singer for Rare Earth, is the headliner for Friday. He will be playing an “unplugged” set with a guitarist and a keyboardist, said Kyle Elrod, event organizer.
Fans of 1970s music will remember Rivera’s “Get Ready” and “I Just Want to Celebrate,” Elrod said.
