Live Music: Gene Schwartz and the G-Force

Bass-player Gene Schwartz is one of the old-school veterans of the area blues scene. He was a familiar face in area clubs for decades, anchoring the Schwartz Brothers Blues Band, which featured his late brother, guitar virtuoso and vociferous preacher Glenn Schwartz. He also performed with the legendary Cleveland-based bluesman Robert Lockwood Jr., who played more and preached less. $10 cover at the door.
