The following new shows have just been added to the Nighttown schedule.  We are really excited about this show line-up as there are a number of artists who have not appeared in the NE Ohio market for many years including Martin Taylor, Eroica Trio, and JD Souther.  Also we are thrilled to have John Pizzarelli returning to Nighttown immediately after his two month engagement at the Cafe Carlyle in NYC (see links below).  John is almost exclusively playing large performing arts centers throughout the world as well as festivals.  Yet he likes coming to the intimate environs of Nighttown where he will perform four shows.
