Evening Music: Helen Welch “Songwriters’ Hall of Fame”

A native of England, Welch is known for her musical theater roles and dynamic one-woman shows. She is described as having the swing of Ella Fitzgerald and the warm alto tones of Karen Carpenter, combined with soul and a cheeky British sense of humor. Helen sings the songs of Carole King, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Elton John and so many more!

After a very successful run in the UK, Welch relocated to the U.S. to guest star in the Broadway musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe. Her immediate success landed her as a fronting vocalist for the Cleveland Orchestra, Grant Park Symphony Orchestra (Chicago), Florida Symphony and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Since then, Welch has been producing her own shows for Cleveland’s Playhouse Square and The Akron Civic Theatre.

Sunday, June 21

6 p.m., Steele Memorial Bandstand

Evening Music: Liverpool Lads

Performing since 2009, the Liverpool Lads’ mission is to recreate the spirit, energy and carefree memories synonymous with Beatlemania of the 1960s. Their show will take the audience on an epic journey of The Beatles’ greatest hits, as well as B-side tracks and album cuts.
