The Setlist: Portage County live music for Nov. 11-20, 2026

I hope that you all have gotten your outdoor chores mainly wrapped up, and are setting your sights on some cozy indoor activities this late fall and winter. This week Veteran’s Day arrives on Wednesday, Nov. 11. I find that our country is more aware of the veteran’s plight than perhaps we may have been 20-30 years ago, which is a good thing. There are many programs and non-profit organizations that focus on the needs of our veterans. This is what really makes America great: compassion and the drive to help those who have sacrificed for our country.

Cleveland Jazz Orchestra Concert Marks Birth Centennial of Miles Davis and John Coltrane

There are few names more revered in jazz than those of saxophone player John Coltrane and trumpet player Miles Davis, both born 100 years ago, in 1926. While both led chaotic lives and Coltrane died at just 40, they left an indelible impact both on jazz and the wider contemporary music scene. Almost no jazz musician is free from the wide-ranging influence of these giants who themselves incorporated a wide array of influences into their own music, ranging from rock to avant-garde.

Sky High: Goodyear Balloonists Made History in 1913

Goodyear balloonists Ralph H. Upson and R.A.D. Preston covered 384 miles during the 1913 Gordon Bennett Cup international balloon race, which they won. Here, they pose in front of the Goodyear balloon they piloted during the race — which started in Paris, France. They raced for over 43 hours and 30 minutes. The pair had built Goodyear’s first airships. Preston and Upson brought attention to Akron with their victory and aeronautic work at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Upson was the chief engineer of the aeronautics department for Goodyear from 1914 to 1920. Preston had a street named after him in Akron to honor the 1913 victory: Preston Avenue, which you might travel on today if you pass through the Goodyear Heights neighborhood.
