Cleveland Rocks PPF proudly presents a dynamic panel discussion on chronicling Cleveland's rich music history and the evolving ways authors uncover and utilize source material. The city’s music archives are expanding rapidly: the Rock Hall recently received file cabinets of invaluable materials from Anastasia Pantsios, while the Western Reserve Historical Society continues to amass significant donations. Steve Traina meticulously explored the legendary LaCave files, piecing together the story of that iconic '60s venue. Similarly, Carlo Wolff delved deep into the archives to illuminate the history of Cleveland’s soul scene. Join us for an engaging conversation about the vital role of archiving, the art of storytelling through documents and interviews, and the collective effort to preserve our musical heritage. We also invite audience participation to share ideas for untold music history stories that deserve exploration in Cleveland.Moderator: Cindy Barber
