Kent State ethnomusicology doctoral candidate and guitarist Eric Murray started Ohio Choro Club (OCC) in 2007 with percussionist Jason Little, clarinetist Sara Tamburro, and mandolinist Jon Mosey. The goal of the group was to act as a nucleus for a club based on Brazilian choro music. Beginning in November 2008, the group began hosting a traditional roda de choro [lit. choro circle] once a month at the Water Street Tavern. This choro jam session lasted until 2010, when Murray left Ohio to perform dissertation fieldwork in Brazil. OCC’s roda de choro has attracted people (both musicians and audience) from all over Northeast Ohio as well as Pittsburgh, PA and Buffalo, NY. Come join them for a reunion. Bring your instrument or just come to listen. In honor of the jam session, The Water Street Tavern will be serving caipirinhas, the national cocktail of Brazil.

More About Water Street Tavern
Dark wooden booths and a big, classy wooden bar invite Water Street Tavern customers to relax and enjoy the "real bar" character as soon as they walk in. But even before they find a seat, smells wafting from the kitchen will be hard to ignore. That's the beauty of having Cajun Dave's cooking inside.
Not only is the beverage list extensive, the food can't be beat. Daily pizza pie recipes often feature seafood and innovative combinations. Warm weather means food and beverages can be enjoyed on the rooftop patio.
Live music can be enjoyed at the popular bar at least twice a week. The booths and bar stools are often full, so if you're meeting friends at Water Street, wear comfortable shoes, you may have to stand a while before you snag a seat.
