Martin Pesek 44 Cleveland Visitor www.cityvisitor.com www.cityvisitor.com Cleveland Visitor 45 Take Q&A with Greg Harris, 5 CEO and President, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

Greg Harris joined the Rock Hall’s executive team in 2008 and became CEO and president in 2012. Harris, shown here with images of punk rockers Joe Strummer (The Clash) and Patti Smith, also spent 15 years as an “Rock history comes alive executive at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Like many baby boomers, Harris came of age during the era of big outdoor concerts. in Cleveland.” His first was the Roundup at Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium and featured the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special, and the Outlaws. He has co-owned and operated a record store, served as a road manager for a national touring group and “played bad guitar” in garage bands. Simply put, he’s paid his dues. City Visitor recently asked Harris to “Take 5.” Enjoy!

Q: What makes the Rock Hall special and what are your plans moving forward? A: We’re a hall of fame curated by fans for fans. It’s all about sharing stories, and we love having that dialog with visitors, making those connec- tions. From its roots in the blues, country and western, gospel, and folk, to today’s artists, rock has shaped the world. That makes our brand of storytelling so special; our visitors from around the globe have deeply personal connections with the music. We’re shaking up the Rock Hall experience. We’ll continue showcasing thousands of rock and roll treasures, of course, but we’re making a visit more immersive, with interactive exhibits and videos that turn artists into virtual tour guides; onsite events including live interviews with the men and women who have shaped music, and concert series with new artists who are living up to the buzz.

Q: Where do you go to listen to live music? A: Cleveland is an amazing music destination, so there are great live music options every night. Definitely hit The Q (Quicken Loans Arena) for many of the big ticket artists—I saw Springsteen earlier this year. More often than not, you can find me at the smaller clubs and bars like the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland’s neighborhood, Happy Dog in Cleveland’s Gordon Square District and the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights. For a venue with a waterfront view of the Cuyahoga River, there’s the Music Box Supper Club or Jacobs Pavilion. And of course, the Rock Hall is also a great place to see live music, whether it be during our Sonic Sessions and Summer in the City concert series, or the best local and regional acts on our outdoor stage

Q: Where do you like to go eat? A: As with music venues, Cleveland is spoiled with a host of incredible restaurants. Downtown Cleveland has great options, especially on E. 4th, the Flats East Bank, and the Warehouse District (W. 6th to W. 9th). Hometown hero and rock star chef Michael Symon’s Lola is a don’t miss, as is the Greenhouse Tavern, where Jonathon Sawyer – who took the 2015 James Beard award for Best Chef Great Lakes – runs the kitchen. The Alley Cat Oyster Bar provides great waterfront scenery to compliment the fare. In the Tremont neighborhood, there’s Sokolowski’s for traditional Polish; Crop Bar and Bistro, an upscale eatery in the former United Bank in the Ohio City neighborhood; and TownHall, also in Ohio City, which features an eclectic menu and gets lively on weekends. Midtown is my go-to for Asian fare, and it’s hard to beat Slyman’s deli for a corned beef sandwich.

Q: When visitors ask what is there to see and do here, what do you suggest? A: Start with a visit to the Rock Hall, of course. We feature major new exhibits each year, and several smaller exhibits, too. This spring and summer, our blockbuster exhibits are the 2016 Inductees exhibit, Louder Than Words: Rock, Power and Politics (opening May 20), Graham Nash: Touching the Flame, and Never Give Up: Alternative Press Magazine at 30. In addition to the live music options already mentioned, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the other University Circle museums, and a stroll through the Little Italy are all musts. Catch an Indians, Cavs, or Browns game. See what productions are at Playhouse Square, the country’s second largest theater district. And spend some time at the West Side Market, the Gordon Square Arts District and the 78th Street Studios, Northeast Ohio’s largest fine arts complex with more than 40 galleries and artist studios.

Q: Why should Cleveland be on everyone’s must-visit places? A: Because it has incredible entertainment, dining, and cultural attractions. And like the people who live here, Cleveland has grit, a sense of rockhall.com pride and a sense of humor, and it is warm and welcoming. @rock_hall 46 www.cityvisitor.com Cleveland Visitor Cleveland Visitor www.cityvisitor.com 1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44114 47
