As the spring semester begins, students can look forward to local concerts and events at Cla-Zel and Howard’s Club H starting as early as next week.

Bands such as Red Wanting Blue, Luke James and the Thieves and 21 Pilots will be performing at Howard’s Club H, while Konkrete Jungle and other events will take place at Cla-Zel.

Broc Curry, president of Innovation Concerts in Toledo, is bringing Red Wanting Blue to Howard’s Club H in February. Curry was also in charge of bringing acts such as Motion City Soundtrack and Sleigh Bells to the Cla-Zel in the fall.

“[The] Red Wanting Blue show will most likely sell out Howard’s Club H,” Curry said. “I don’t have anything coming up right now that’s booked, but hopefully we’ll have little things coming up at Howard’s in the spring.”

Banan Alkilani, general manager at Cla-Zel, said Konkrete Jungle is going to continue the last Thursday of every month and the venue is going to keep hosting its own concerts. A new event Cla-Zel will be hosting is Brew and View, where people can watch three to four movies for free every Thursday.

Cla-Zel is also going to keep hosting some musical events with the College of Musical Arts, Alkilani said.

“As far as the movies, we’ll be showing old and new movies, just basic movies that are available on DVD. On these nights, there won’t be music or anything, just movies.”

Jeremy Lublin, in charge of marketing and promoting at Headliners in Toledo, said he wants to get some bands booked to play at Howard’s Club H or Cla-Zel for March and April, but does not currently have anything set in stone.

“We always encourage bands that want to come through northwest Ohio to play either in Toledo or Bowling Green,” Lublin said. “It’s a combination of who wants to come through northwest Ohio and who people want to see.”
