Alexandra Kay brings her One Woman Show to House of Blues on Jan. 31

The Illinois singer-songwriter behind "Straight for the Heart" plays House of Blues Cleveland on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2027, with tickets from $48.

It's a breakup song that sounds like it was written from the far side of the breakup, and it's the reason a lot of Cleveland country fans will be heading downtown on the last night of January. Alexandra Kay plays House of Blues on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2027, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $48–$91.45 through Ticketmaster.

The date is part of Kay's One Woman Show headline tour, a winter run that The Music Universe reports opens Jan. 22 in Columbus. Its listed dates include Detroit, Grand Rapids, Toronto, Boston, Silver Spring and Allentown before reaching Cleveland. That puts House of Blues near the end of the tour's first stretch, when a show has usually found its shape.

The song most people will know is "Straight for the Heart," the lead single from her second album, *Second Wind*. BBR Music Group released the 14-track record on Oct. 24, 2025, through Wheelhouse Records. Jimmy Robbins, Karley Scott Collins and Sasha Sloan wrote the single. BBR sent it to country radio as her debut single there, with an impact date in November. CountryTown and Country Now have covered the album as a record about healing after the end of her marriage and finding love again. That honesty is a big part of why her audience has grown.

That audience has spread well past the Midwest. Kay has been described as an Illinois singer-songwriter, and after a slot at BST Hyde Park in London she announced her biggest UK and European headline tour to date. That run has 15 dates in March and April 2027, including Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre on April 6. The Cleveland show catches her a few weeks before that trip, still playing rooms on this side of the ocean.

A breakup song written from the far side of the breakup.

House of Blues holds 2,500, and it suits this kind of show well. It's big enough to feel like an event but small enough that a singer can hold a quiet song without losing the back of the room. For an artist whose catalog runs on confessional ballads as much as radio hooks, that matters. A Sunday-night show also tends to draw the people who really want to be there.

Practical notes: doors and support haven't been posted with the listing, so check the ticket page closer to the date. The range of prices means floor and premium seats will go first. If you plan to sing along to the chorus of "Straight for the Heart," you'll have company.

It's a long way off, deep in a Cleveland winter. But there are worse ways to spend the last night of January than in a warm room full of people who know every word.
