Fri 10/2 @ 8PM
The all-woman Cleveland band Burning Sage rock pretty hard, but they also have a distinctive edge to them: heavy on percussion, a little spontaneous jam-band feel combined with a world-music influence, and new age, feminist vibe that’s found them a place on bills at the annual Pagan Pride, Starwood and various women’s music festivals. With Sue Balaschak providing those rhythms and Lin Sanders on vocals, the band started making their distinctive music back at the beginning of the century, then took a long break around 2007-8 and returned last year with a new lineup.
They’re not a precise fit for the testosterone-heavy hard rock atmosphere at the Maple Grove Tavern in Maple Heights but it gets even more offbeat. The show also features self-described Celtic/pagan/folk/new age singer/guitarist Kellianna and sideshow performer Davi Della Fiamma. A very interesting evening, no doubt.
Admission is $15.
