Raising the Bar: Cleveland Lawyers in Support of the Beachland with Faith & Whiskey
When: Sat., Feb. 7, 8 p.m. 2015
Last year, the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern and the City of Cleveland came to terms regarding unpaid admission taxes that the city claimed the club owned. The city even agreed to reduce the admission tax for small clubs like the Beachland so that the place could afford to continue to bring great acts to town and not suffer financially for it.
In the wake of all that, the club has been left with what co-owner Cindy Barber describes as “a rather large legal bill.” On Feb. 7, the club hosts Raising the Bar, a benefit concert designed to help cover some of the costs. Faith & Whiskey, Rule 11 and the Sanctions, Out of Order and the Hung Jury, four bands featuring members of Cleveland’s legal community, will perform for free — the cover charge will go to helping pay the legal fees.
