We did it before...We want to do it one more time!

This is a fundraiser and live performance event set up for the purpose of benefitting “side” musicians, those amazing people who make bands sound so crazy good, but who cannot survive doing solo shows.

On the heels of a successful event in August 2020 we created this EXCITING fundraiser for a second multicultural DRIVE-IN CONCERT with two AWESOME full BANDS featuring MOISES BORGES BRAZILIAN JAZZ and MO' MOJO (ZYDECO), with the audience in or at their cars so we keep social distancing and abide by the COVID-19 government recommendations. Two multinational full bands will play from a stage area for 75 minutes each.

The goal of this project is to financially support the side musician -- like a drummer, bass player, or percussionist -- the ones that can not do a live show by themselves. Main act musicians might have an easier time getting by during the Covid-19 time by playing a solo show, although a sideman/woman will have a harder time surviving or playing alone. That's why we want to showcase full bands, so the sidemen (and one sidewoman) can work and get paid.

MOISES BORGES will present an up-tempo set of music with horns, percussion, drums, bass, guitar, and vocals with his Brazilian Jazz Ensemble, playing samba and other rhythms.

MO' MOJO is a hard-driving, high energy, “Pardi-Gras” Band. They blend Zydeco with Blues, Americana, Cajun, Reggae, Rock & Roll, Funk, & R&B. The female-fronted group features rich harmonies, button box, fiddle, electric guitar, rubboard, sax, harp, bass, and drums.

We want to bring Clevelanders together in a safe environment during this time of social distancing and quarantine, and we want to build financial support for Cleveland and NEOH musicians during the impacts of COVID-19. Cars will be parked every other spot to ensure distancing. Those giving at the higher levels will have first access to the shaded parking spaces under an open air solar panel structure. General attendance will be limited to 80 cars (out of 189 spots).

Right now DONATIONS ARE BEING DOUBLED through the ioby Neighbor Up Match Fund so give TODAY to support our Cleveland Music Concert and musicians, as we don't have much time to reach our goal.

Professional sound will be provided by Chuck Karnak.. There will be a 2.5’ high stage to help with band visibility.

Our RAIN DATE is Sunday, OCT. 4, same time and place.
