NEO Rock & Roll Through The Years

Welcome to Northeast Ohio Rock & Roll Through The Years. Here you’ll find Rock, Pop, and R&B performers that have a connection to Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Kent, Youngstown and more. You can read about, listen to, and watch them all here in one place.

When you see this 🎸, you’ll know that performer has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Info about the Info

The information on each of the performers here comes from various places on the internet, and you can follow the links to get more information. Each band and their members and the individual performers have their own detailed stories that are only touched on here.

A great book that has a ton of information is the book by Deanna Adams – Rock ‘n’ Roll and the Cleveland Connection. That book goes into great detail on all of these performers and more, as well as stories and quotes from her conversations with them. It’s a great book.
