Inductee Ricky Byrd, formerly of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, will be on hand to perform and talk about “the power music has to help people cope with challenges, heal from trauma, and connect with those around them.”
The schedule of live performances is as follows: Guitars for Vets performs at noon; Angie Haze Project plays at 1 p.m.; David Smeltz and the Smeltztones take the stage at 2 p.m.; and a songwriters circle featuring Byrd, Kathy Valentine (musician, songwriter and member of the Go-Go’s), Liberty DeVitto (formerly a part of Billy Joel’s recording and touring band) and Genya Raven (of Goldie and the Gingerbreads, and current SiriusXM DJ) brings the event to a close at 3 p.m. The group’s performance features an intimate conversation and songs that address both addiction and the recovery process. Following the songwriters circle, fans can meet Byrd, Valentine, DeVitto, and Raven.
The event is free, but a separate admission ticket must be purchased to tour the Rock Hall exhibits. Museum admission is free for Members and Cleveland residents. Food and drinks are available for purchase from Rock Hall food trucks and the All Access Cafe.
