Didn’t you already know? Well, now to support & preserve Cleveland’s popular music culture, and enrich local social welfare & economic growth by stimulating music-centered initiatives, the new non-profit organization called Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present and Future is officially launching with a bang.

Cleveland RocksPPF was awarded its nonprofit status from the IRS on August 9th, and the organization is ready to move forward with programming and fundraising. The project will work to support and grow Cleveland’s music scene and also document the rich legacy of the region as an important historic center of rock and roll and other popular music.

To kick off this initiative and help raise some needed funds, Ian Hunter is doing a special fundraiser and Legacy Project Q&A on Wed. Sept. 26, the night before his Beachland appearance.
