CLEVELAND
MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

CLEVELAND, OHIO is the 17th largest DMA in the U.S.  It is home to the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame as well as the Baseball Hall of Fame in nearby Canton.  One-time Cleveland DJ, Alan Freed, is widely credited with coining the phrase "rock and roll" to describe the new form of music that was taking over the airwaves.   Cleveland was the location of the first rock and roll concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball in 1952.  Fittingly, the authorities shut it down after the first song.
 
Cleveland musical roots don’t stop there.  The city is the home of rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. Eric Carmen and his band, The Raspberrie as well as R&B groups the Dazz Band and The Rude Boys, and R&B singer Avant. Cleveland was also home to protopunk bands Electric Eels, Pere Ubu, and Rocket From the Crypt.  Over  35 AM and FM stations that call Cleveland home, and dozens of other stations, from elsewhere in Northeastern Ohio, can be heard in Cleveland.  Some of the popular clubs and music venues in Cleveland are: Barfly, Spy Bar, Velvet Dog, Jac's, Funky Buddah, Anatomy Nightclub, House of Blues, Now That's Class Lounge, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Karamu Performing Arts Theatre,  Odeon Concert Club, Garage Bar and Cleveland Public Theatre.
