Attention-Deficit Glee Club celebrates three year anniversary with CD release party
They might be called the Attention-Deficit Glee Club Band, but they’ve managed to play music together for three years. The A-D G Club Band celebrated their third anniversary with a CD release party at the Beachland Ballroom on Waterloo Road on Friday, December 10.
The band is a collection of home-grown musicians who live three doors from one another in Collinwood and several blocks from the Waterloo entertainment district. The two husband/wife duos (Dan Chambers and Louise Foresman and Leila and Dave Snodgrass) discovered their common musical interest during a series of Collinwood open mics funded by the Cleveland Foundation's Neighborhood Connections grant several years ago.
Although they started playing covers of Carter Family songs and 60’s folk music, most of what they do now are original pieces about life, work, and politics. This original work was recorded during a performance at the Beachland Ballroom and is featured on the CD released this year. One of their signature pieces describes the neighborhood they all live in—Beulah Park.
