Applause - Conya Doss, Musician May 1, 2008

Applause

You can't call Conya Doss an overnight sensation just yet, but this Cleveland native is quickly gaining national attention for her brand of R&B, jazz and funk. With the release of her latest CD, still..., Conya Doss stands on the brink of success. But with success comes a difficult decision for this school teacher turned soul singer. Conya will join us in the Westfield Insurance Performance Studio for an interview and performance.

It was one of the most anticipated nights in Northeast Ohio's local music scene: the re-opening of Brothers Lounge in Cleveland. Closed since 2002, this one-time rhythm and blues juke joint is back open as an upscale pub, wine bar and music hall, thanks to a couple of local music lovers who heard the call to restore this legendary club into a must-see entertainment complex. Join us for a closer look.

Twenty years ago artist Doug Manry used to go to Brothers Lounge to listen to blues jams by local heroes like Robert Lockwood Jr. and Colin Dussault, but with the re-opening of the club it's now his turn to bring something to the party. We'll feature a look at the works of Doug Manry that help jazz up Brothers Lounge.
