In 2020, Cleveland Rocks Past Present Future:
-
Launched the Northeast Ohio Musician Relief Fund and provided grants for 92 musicians and venue workers in need, totaling $37,300.
-
Concerned with the extended venue shutdown, Cleveland Rocks helped fundraised more than $60,000 for local independent music venues through the following:
• Recruited musicians who had received a grant from the Northeast Ohio Music Relief Fund to perform live stream shows that raised funds from music loves whose gifts were matched one-to-one through the ioby platforms, garnering over $35,000 to save Cleveland stages.
• Partnered with Axon Agency to promote #SaveCLEVenues Auction of music memorabilia which raised over $24,000 for venues. -
Artist development and support continued!
• Between May and October 2020, through Waterloo Makes Music and Wednesday Songs & Stages, CRPPF provided COVID-safe, live streamed, paying performance opportunities for 40 NEO musicians during the venue shutdown.
• The audience reach and development for NEO bands and singer-songwriters more than tripled through this live streamed programming.
If you celebrate live music, or love someone who does, now is the time to support your local music community.
