SUMMARY:Sound of the Land: Alex Bevan
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Rocks:PPF and the Fidelity Hotel in Downtown Cleveland are partnering to present the Sound of the Land Live Music Series.

RSVP Here.\n\nIf the name Alex Bevan means anything to you.. it probably begins with the song “Skinny”… the 1976 Summer Anthem that filled the airwaves of radio station WMMS and brought the Cleveland folksinger’s career into sharp focus “back in the day”. Perhaps too\, it might conjure the melody of “The Grand River Lullaby”\, Hearkening back to lost years of innocence and first love in a simpler and more romantic time… a time when the Woodstock Generation found it’s rhythmn in the album oriented rock infused soundtracks that still echo in the rivulets and streams of Spotify and Itunes music delivery systems. Alex Bevan has been picking up his guitar and going to perform for audiences for over forty six years… singing primarily songs of his own crafting and supported mostly by his deft guitar picking and agile improvisational wit…. In short… he is a troubadour of the journeyman class who brings a fresh perspective and unabashed enthusiasm for storytelling to each and every member of the the audience he interacts with. A truly analog entertainer for a digital time!https://alexbevan.com/\n\n\nLearn more: https://fidelityhotelcle.com/

From Frida and the Mann’s Inception\, the goal was simple. Make music that people can feel. Be unapologetic. Be raw. Be true. This band from Cleveland\, OH was formed in mid 2023 by Frida Mann (vocals) Adam Cramer (guitars) and Zachary Horstman (drums) while in someone else’s basement\, in a small space\, with big dreams. Shortly thereafter\, Stefan Johnson (bass/vocals) joined to complete the sonic landscape.\nNow winners of the 2024 Cleveland Music Awards Best New Artist\, they are emerging as one of the most unique sounding musical artists in Cleveland. Their alternative atmospheric pop-rock sound hits hard as you feel every turn of the rollercoaster songs in your body because it’s straight from their soul.\nhttps://fridaandthemann.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556209380742 \nNature Nvoke\nCleveland artist Nate “Ace” Eberhardt is an Afro-futurist and prolific conceptualist whose belief in the healing power of music has manifested itself in 5 singles and 7 EP’s. These works of varying numbers of tracks were produced and released under the name Nature\, including the 2024 12-song album\, “Doors Of Perception.” Since its beginning as a solo project in 2019\, Eberhardt has primarily been concerned with turning the practice of merging past struggles and present identity into a sound. Naturally evolving since its conception\, what was once a solo bedroom project has become a full ensemble with the additions of drummer David “Coach Dave” Parks and bassist Josh “Mekhi” Burton. Now Nature Nvoke\, the group is releasing Echoes In Eternity\, an 5 song EP\, the group’s first full band offering.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/naturenvoke\nhttps://www.instagram.com/naturenvoke \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible with support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and The Ohio Arts Council.\n\n\n
