In recent years, Cleveland has seen a bunch of festivals grow from a scrappy new idea into a major entry on the annual event calendar. One of those is the Brite Winter festival, which began as an improvised concert featuring a handful of bands in a then little-used park of Columbus Road in the Flats.
After two years, it moved up the hill to Ohio City and grew into a behemoth with more than 70 acts, as well as art installations, vendors, games and the always-popular bonfires (hey — it’s February!) before moving back down to a much larger footprint in the Flats in 2016. Somewhere in the middle it shifted to booking a mix of local artists and out-of-town indie bands, but it’s shifted back, with all local talent headlining what has become a full day and night of partying a numerous venues indoors and out.
As the first major festival on the 2018 calendar (February 24), it’s not all that far away and already open for submissions. So local musicians, get your butt in gear! Go here for information on how to submit.

Hi:
I’m the vocalist with a Jazz Quartet called Estilo. We perform Jazz Standards, Bossa Novas, Sambas, Ballads, Boleros and songs from the great American Song Book. We have performed at many public and private affairs and venues. We have opened for guitarist Bill White and Grammy nominated artist Matt Wilson. We kicked off the Freeport Blues Festival on the Nautical Mile and we were featured on “Wes Houston Presents” a local television music show (see the link below).

We would like to be considered to participate in this year’s Brite Winterm Festival in February.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and attention.
Sincerely,
Rafael Mangual.
