Waterloo Makes Music
Waterloo Makes Music is a free concert series on Waterloo as a gift to all the music lovers in the community, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy.
Our Waterloo Makes Music series of concert and livestream music presentations, grew from 2021’s three live events to 2022’s fifteen live events featuring thirty bands and solo artists. A total of eighty-nine musicians were engaged for these performances. We also cultivated more performance spaces in the Waterloo Arts District in 2022, engaging audiences in Praxis Fiber Workshop, on The Tower Stage, The Beachland Ballroom and Tavern stage, and our newly opened Cleveland Rocks Shop Stage.
The Waterloo Makes Music series will take place the first Friday of the month June-September as part of the monthly Walk All Over Waterloo Art Walk. Your support allows us to again pay musicians and the production team needed to mount our Waterloo Makes Music series.
The 2022 Waterloo Makes Music series is made possible with support from
