ARTbar: Burning River Swing

ARTbar creates an atmosphere like no other by mixing curated cocktails, music, art, and poetry in Heights Arts’ beautiful gallery on Lee Road. The space is transformed into a cocktail lounge setting where audience members gather to experience intimate performances in tandem with current exhibitions.

Burning River Swing is a swinging and singing jazz group from the Cleveland/Akron area. The band honors French jazz, hot jazz and swing music by musicians like Django Reinhardt, Stefan Grappelli, and Ella Fitzgerald, bringing this music back to life in the modern day. When their melodic violin, percussive guitar, walking bass lines and stellar vocals come together, they set fire to both old and new songs alike!

One drink minimum. Light snacks and a limited bar including beer, wine, sparkling wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and the following curated cocktails:

MANHATTAN & FRENCH 75

You Make Our Events Special – A performer without an audience is like a tree that falls in the forest with no one to hear. In both cases, the essence of the experience—the sound of the falling tree or the energy of the performance—depends on the presence of witnesses.

Your Impact: When you purchase a ticket or RSVP and show up to our event, you’re not just filling a seat—your presence gives our performers the energy and excitement that fuels their performance. But without a full and engaged audience, their efforts won’t shine as brightly.

Please RSVP only if you’re certain you can attend. Of course, we know that sometimes unexpected issues might prevent you from coming. If you realize you or your guest(s) can’t make it, please let us know as soon as possible. This will allow us to give the open spot to someone else. There’s nothing more disappointing for us than turning people away because of a sold-out event only to find that we could have placed them. You get it, right? We know you do.

The Reward: Your commitment to attending means a lot to Heights Arts, even more to those who are taking the stage, and most importantly to YOU. We have no doubt you will be inspired by our featured talent. When you attend, you will even get a little extra something as a thank you from us in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

Thanks for your understanding. We’ll see you soon!
