Celebration of Cleveland Rock History, Part 2

Last year, the Beachland Ballroom hosted a book launch event for local author Deanna Adams’s most recent book, Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Venues. Hosted by Ray Carr, the event featured images of the venues as Adams and Carr conducted live interviews with many of the people who’ve helped make Cleveland the rock mecca it is today. The show was so well-received that the duo will do it again today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a new round of participants, which’ll include deejays Larry Morrow, Ted Alexander and Paula Balish. Other guests include musicians such as Richard Shack, Donnie Baker, Alex Bevan, Carlos Jones, Mike Wasson, Cy Sulak, Rich Spina, Billy Sullivan and Butch Armstrong. Tickets cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Proceeds benefit Beachland co-owner Cindy Barber’s nonprofit organization, Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present & Future.
