What we’re about
https://www.queencityballadeers.org/schedule
The Queen City Balladeers organization runs the Leo Coffeehouse, a Sunday night open jam and concert, with workshops on varied subjects and open-mic nights. It's a caffeinated listening room, steeped in Americana music and welcoming all genres.
The open jam starts at 5:15, followed by concerts starting at 6:40, every Sunday evening, September through May, held at the Zion United Church of Christ in Norwood, 2301 Indian Mound Avenue, Norwood, OH 45212. Stop by with your instrument, your voice, or just your ears.
Leo Coffeehouse Schedule:
All Leo Coffeehouse evenings begin with the following activities from 5:15PM.
• Every Sunday of the month: Open Jam in the main hall
• First Sundays of the month: Rise Up Singalong at 3 PM, special workshops
• Second Sundays: Song Writers Collaborative upstairs
• Third Sundays: Guitar Roundtable upstairs
• Fourth Sundays: Old-Time Music Jam upstairs
Every Sunday, scheduled performers take the Leo stage from 6:40PM to 9:00PM.
Note: Free Outdoor Summer Acoustic Jams
Feel free to join some of our members at their weekly outdoor acoustic jam on Sunday evenings in Sharon Woods. These summer jams are not a Queen City Balladeers event, but we support acoustic music and so want the public to know about these:
Summer Outdoor Acoustic Jams at Sharon Woods (5:30 – dusk). Jam outdoors at Sharon Woods on Sunday evenings from the first Sunday of June through the first Sunday of September, and are free and open to the public. Look for musicians at a picnic table (they do not reserve an area) near the Sharon Centre – enter from Route 42.

The Leo presented by Queen City Balladeers
Zion United Church of Christ, 2301 Indian Mound Ave, Norwood, OH, US1ST SET KABIR BAKIE & ISAIAH TAM
A familiar face at the Leo, Kabir likes to perform folk, country and pop songs. He particularly enjoys playing the music of artists such as Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine and Johnny Cash. Isaiah is a relative newcomer who plays a mean guitar.
2ND SET WHISTLESTOP Facebook: Whistlestop Music
What do you get when you throw together a runaway opera singer raised in Texas honkytonks and a southern Ohio boy turned businessman whose heroes have always been cowboys and pickers? WhistleStop is made up of the songs we love best: rootsy Americana, classic country, and harmony-driven tributes to traditional tunes. Kelli Domke and Dean Kotchka on guitars & vocals, joined by Nora Denning (mandolin and vocals) and Dick Males (upright bass)
3RD SET RAISON D’TRE https://raison3.com/
Violet Rae Webster, Vickie Ellis and Roberta Schultz are three women who live to sing together. According to Mike Breen of Cincinnati CityBeat, this folk trio offers "some of the finest three-part harmony singing you'll likely ever hear." Expect traditional folk, a capella swing tunes, and cowboy anthems, all delivered in their pure Kentucky blend.
