What’s new at the Mu? Hayden Grove to croon in Massillon show

Massillon Museum’s Gessner Hall will be transformed into an intimate nightclub scene for the next Rhythms concert.

Cleveland-based crooner Hayden Grove will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18.

Grove, accompanied by a pianist and bassist, will perform favorites like “Mack the Knife,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Funny Valentine” and “At Last” in a style reminiscent of Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr. and Frank Sinatra.

There will be limited table seating beneath a mirrored ball, and a beer-and-wine cash bar for guests 21 and older.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. ASL interpretation will be provided. Tickets ($12 each. or $10 per MassMu member) can be purchased at MassillonMuseum.org/Tickets; in person; or by phone at 330-833-4061. Memberships can be purchased at any time.

Grove, 32, was a contestant with Adam Levine’s team on Season 27 of NBC’s “The Voice.” “You have a tremendously great voice with so much range,” Levine raved.

Grove has released three albums, sung the national anthem at a Guardians game, and entertained at the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Fashion Show Luncheon. A regular at wineries, breweries and Italian restaurants in Greater Cleveland, he performs more than 200 shows a year.

Sports fans may recognize Hayden from his Guardians, Browns and Cavs reporting for Cleveland.com.

Chaired by Dan Kane, Rhythms concerts provide an accessible atmosphere for enjoying top-notch entertainment. The final concert of 2025 will feature alt-pop and indie music by JD Eicher on Nov. 6. Canton singer/songwriter Josie McGee will open the concert, which is funded in part by Ken Robinson.

The Massillon Museum has received ArtsBuild funding from ArtsinStark, made possible by the support of the Stark County community through ArtsinStark’s annual Campaign for the Arts.
