Music Box Concert Series Designed to Honor Rock Hall Inductees

Concert Announcement

Taking place from April 10 to 17, Music Box Supper Club’s "Rock Week" will offer a decade by decade tribute to Rock Hall inductees. Each night, local musicians and “select national performing artists” will celebrate rock’s history. "When the Rock Hall's induction ceremony takes place in Cleveland, the city just comes alive," says Mike Miller, Music Box Supper Club’s Vice President, in a press release. "With Rock Week, we wanted to both capture that excitement—and add to it." 

At each performance, Music Box will collect donations for the annual Harvest For Hunger campaign, a food and fund drive which provides aid to local hunger relief organizations in 21 counties in Northeast and North Central Ohio.
