Rock Solid Gala 2026: Annual Benefit for Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present, Future

Cleveland-area music lovers, leaders, advocates, and visionaries are invited to an electrifying evening supporting the local music community at Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present, Future’s (CR:PPF) 5th annual Rock Solid Gala. The nonprofit, led by Beachland Ballroom co-owner Cindy Barber, has been serving the local music community and helping to fuel Cleveland’s music ecosystem since 2012 as the only organization in Northeast Ohio bringing vital support and economic opportunities to original music makers of all genres.

Rock Solid Gala is CR:PPF’s biggest event of the year and will feature the best local bands and artists, amazing food, exciting raffles and auctions, special guests, and more. Guests will also have the unique opportunity to bid on private concert experiences with local bands and artists leading the way in the Cleveland music scene. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support CR:PPF’s programs and initiatives, which include community concerts, music industry workshops, mental health- and wellness-centered programming, a music incubator and accelerator program, the Cleveland Rocks Shop, archival efforts, and so much more.
