ACO: A Tribute to Rob Williams

Tuesday, December 22 ACO (The Afro Cleveland Orchestra) at Grog Shop Doors 7 PM | Show 7:30 PM ALL AGES $10 + $3 at the door if under 21 Sax/flute player Rob Williams arrived in Cleveland from California and became an integral part of this area's music scene in the '80s when he hooked up for a time with hugely popular local rock/reggae band First Light. Later he formed ACO --- the Afro-Cleveland Orchestra --- which blended jazz, blues, R&B, funk and other styles. They were regulars at the Grog Shop back in the '90s, when they hosted musician-oriented night; they still occasionally resurface there from time to time doing a reunion show. Jackie Warren on piano, Ray Deforest on bass, Gary Naherny on drums, Larnie Zellner on harmonica, Jim Cirillo on saxophone plus special guests!
