Our passion for jazz\, neo-soul\, and funk drives us to create a sonic journey that captivates and inspires. Berklee alumnus\, Mars Q and vocalist\, Sara Smile\, join together as a duo or in full band format. Sara’s love for astronomy and metaphysics comes alive in her lyrical melodies atop harmonized flavors created by Mars. Original music is written to raise vibrations and often played in 432hz.

What began as a homecoming quickly became a musical rebirth\, with songs pouring out that capture the grit\, mood\, and heart of the city itself. Drawing on her roots in raw\, emotional folk-rock\, Corissa channels both tenderness and ferocity\, weaving stories that cut deep and linger. Her forthcoming album\, born from this wave of inspiration\, is brought to life with the support of a powerhouse band: Lex Moda (Cellophane Jane)\, Lovest Watson III (Femi Kuti\, Brain Bacon)\, and Skyler Keffer (Orefice Roth). Together\, they create a sound that is moody\, dynamic\, and unflinchingly heartfelt — a blend reminiscent of early ’90s female indie performers but distinctly her own. On stage\, Corissa and her band deliver performances that are intimate yet electrifying\, pulling audiences in with raw vulnerability and holding them with undeniable presence.Bio – Corissa Bragg Musicwww.corissabragg.comhttps://www.facebook.com/corissa.braggwww.instagram.com/corissabragg\n\nPeter Ray“Broken Bones” original song by Peter Ray.Performed [LIVE] by Peter Ray https://youtu.be/e32hCKBy0isWho? https://youtu.be/KUDXtCnuKDAThe Beast of Ignorance (Happiness Is A Battle) https://youtu.be/QDpsH7n2P44https://facebook.com/PeterRayMusic

SUMMARY:John Lennon Remembered 2025
DESCRIPTION:John Lennon Remembered 2025\nProceeds supporting Cleveland Rocks: Past\, Present\, Future \n\n\n\nDecember 7\, 2025\nBeachland Ballroom\n\n\nDoors: 5:00 pm / Show: 6:00 pm\nGet tickets\n\n\n\n\nEver read a list of “people who changed the world?” You’ll find a lot of influential names–spiritual leaders\, scientists\, inventors\, politicians–people whose lives\, for better or worse\, had significant and lasting effects on cultures and society. On lists of folks who changed the world for better\, you’ll find some from the arts. What vision\, to be remembered by history along side figures such as Albert Einstein and Ghandi. I assure you\, very few rock stars are on these lists. The shining jewel of influential rock stars\, in many eyes\, is John Lennon. Cream of the crop\, bees-knees\, cats pajamas\, or “toppermost of the poppermost” (a phrase he coined in the 1960s)\, Lennon’s catalog of music\, along side his outspoken activism\, has had lasting effect on so many aspects of world-wide society\, including pop culture\, spiritualism\, politics\, and of course\, music. The music of John Lennon has caused intense reactions\, ever since the days of screaming throngs of fans descended upon airports. It may have all started with catchy\, infectious hooks such as\, “yeah\, yeah\, yeah\,” (She Loves You\, 1964)\, but the hooks like\, “All You Need is Love\,” “Give Peace a Chance\,” and “…imagine all the people…” are only a few examples of Lennon’s catalog and its powerful influence. The world needed it and the world wanted it in the 1960s\, and we still do\, well into the 21st century. On December 7th\, 2025\, a collection of artists and performers from the Greater Cleveland Area gather at the Beachland Ballroom to honor John Lennon’s legacy by performing songs in his memory during the John Lennon Remembered Concert. The brain-child of Kendall Stauffer\, the John Lennon Remembered Concert has run annually for many seasons. The Beachland is delighted to bring this event back. \nPerformers include: Kendall Stauffer Band\, Marc Stauffer Band\, Robin Stratton\, Colette Gschwind\, Brian Henke\, Mark Teifenbach\, The Sidemen\, Twisted Vibes\, Nick and Lori\, Angelle Sheridan\, Charlie Weiner\, Ted Riser and Tom Vail\, and more!
