Sheila E. live in Cleveland

Experience Sheila E. live on June 25th

Sheila E., the percussionist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader, will be performing at KeyBank State Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio on June 25, 2026. Her musical style is a vibrant fusion of funk, R&B, pop, and Latin influences, prominently featuring her virtuosic drumming and percussion skills. Rising to prominence in the 1980s with hits like “The Glamorous Life” and “A Love Bizarre,” Sheila E. has collaborated with artists including Prince, Lionel Richie, and Marvin Gaye throughout her career. She is known for energetic stage presence and innovative use of percussion instruments.

KeyBank State Theatre originally opened in 1921 as the Keith Albee Vaudeville Theatre, a grand venue designed by architects Walter & Albert Lehman. It was a flagship theatre in the Keith-Albee circuit showcasing vaudeville acts. Over its history it transitioned through various uses including a movie palace and periods of disrepair. A significant restoration completed in 1981 returned the theatre to its former grandeur, highlighting its ornate architectural details – including a lavishly decorated interior featuring Italian marble and intricate plasterwork.
