Viewing thru of
Local Talent Shines

Sacramento has long been devoid of an opportunity to see and enjoy live shows which feature a variety of local talent. Now we have it!Harlows Nightclub, downtown on J st., now features Variety Shows on alternating Weds. nights. The next is on June 3rd with another following on June 17th. These fun shows include a local band to focus the crowd and raise the energy in the room. Then they present a singer to share a couple songs; followed by one of the areas better comedians. Now the show is really moving, they put on stage another singer or two, another comic and finish with the Band playing off the night with another set of music. It is a full night of unique fun.
What makes this special is that every show is different. Always a new selection of local musical and comic talent. The singers are my favorite because you never know what your going to get. On the last show there was an amazing Opera singer, Kelly Hall, who sileneced the crowd with her amazing voice. Next was an amazing guitarist Fretea Sylver with her original and sobering musc. That was followed by a talented local rap artist Steve Weidel who took the audience back to a energetic frenzy. You add in the comic talents of Mike Osborne and Woody Laughnan and you get Variety like no where else in Sacramento.
Drop by Harlows June 3rd or 17th and see for yourself what great talent we have locally. There is only a $5 cover and the drinks & food from Harlows are tasty. And if you enjoy yourself let the owner of Harlows know, so we can see more talent from our own backyard.

Apparently the author does not know the distinction between downtown which is overwhelmingly business and midtown which is overwhelmingly residential--a very important difference. Please accept this as an educational comment--not a criticism.
Harlow's used to be a terrific restaurant.
What? A lot of local venues feature local bands--the Press Club, Distillery, Old Ironsides, Luigi's Slice, On The Y, and plenty of other venues feature local bands--and not just on Wednesday nights. There has been a shortage of local bands at Harlow's in particular, but despite their assumption, they are not the only venue in town.
As to local artist being seen at Harlows...Yes, it is nice to have local artist back at Harlows...but I was also pointing out the Variety nature of the show.....singers, comics, and a Band.
Change of pace, and as far as I know there are not any other locations that mix's it up like this.
If there is please add a comment.
