2025 Rock Solid Gala: Benefit for Cleveland Rocks:PPF

A Benefit for Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present, Future

Since 2020, we’ve contracted over 300 artists and industry experts, provided workshops to 150+ creatives since 2023, and in 2025 alone, helped engage over 100,000 viewers through online streams. We also advocate for policies and initiatives that strengthen the music ecosystem—partnering with city officials, promoting music tourism, and working with local businesses to boost economic impact.

Our year-round programs and services support equitable infrastructure, career development, and expanded opportunities across all genres. Cleveland music creatives spend nearly $7,900 annually on music services—contributing to a $29.58 million local impact, including $5.16 million in recording. Live music alone brings in $58 million each year and fuels over 15,000 performances annually.

With a mission focused on original music makers and the establishments that support them, CR:PPF provides impactful support that solidifies this rock solid truth: Cleveland IS A Music City.
