Answering those burning questions we all have about Cleveland

Legends of The Land Podcast

This is Legends of The Land, a podcast series that centers on some of those absolutely burning questions we all have about Cleveland — the kind of stuff no one is talking about – but probably should.

Music

Rock ‘n’ Roll Reigns

Earplugs? C’mon. This is Cleveland.

If you’re the kind of person who eats, breathes and sleeps music, Cleveland deserves a top spot on your travel bucket list.

After all, not only did Cleveland DJ Alan Freed popularize the term “rock 'n' roll,” but we were also the first city to embrace quintessential rockers like Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie during the famous WMMS Coffee Break Concerts.

Catch shows from your new favorite band at indie clubs like the Beachland Ballroom in Collinwood or The Winchester in Lakewood, then hit up the biggest names in music on world tours at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and other large-scale venues across the city. And, of course, no trip to The Land is complete without a pilgrimage to the beloved Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to check out artifacts and exhibits featuring artists from Aretha Franklin and Jimi Hendrix to Taylor Swift and Lady GaGa.

The heart of Rock & Roll beats stronger than ever in Cleveland. Get here, tune in and rock on.

Beyond Rock:
Music in The Land

If your musical tastes run toward genres besides rock 'n' roll, Cleveland still strikes the right chord — a fact that is agreed upon across the country and around the globe.

You can find talented singer-songwriters pouring their hearts out at open mic nights and experimental jazz shows at the Bop Stop, as well as energetic hip-hop nights and blues guitarists providing a cry-in-your-beer soundtrack.

During the summer months, Cleveland music moves outdoors for funk, jam band and reggae dance parties, as well as folk and bluegrass under the stars at places like Jacobs Pavilion and Cain Park.

Multiple venues book classic jazz and soul sounds both you and grandma can enjoy. The Cleveland Orchestra, meanwhile, plays at both the very Instagrammable Severance Hall and summer outdoor retreat Blossom Music Center.
