Summer in the City, a FREE live concert series featuring the most buzzed-about bands on the rise, returns this summer at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on the Museum plaza (weather permitting, if necessary it will be moved inside to the Main Stage). Summer in the City is sponsored by Ohio Natural Gas, Magic Hat Brewing Company, Amtrak, KeyBank and Jim Beam.

Some of the country and region’s most popular up-and-coming bands and artists will perform for the first time at the Rock Hall. Each Summer the City artist or band has been invited to blog on rockhall.com/blog to share their experiences with fans: how they got started, their inspirations, their aspirations for the future and what their thoughts are on performing in Cleveland at the Museum.

Wednesday, July 6th from 7-9 p.m.: Fitz and the Tantrums with Clovers
Wednesday, July 13th from 7-9 p.m.: Das Racist with Smoke Screen and Muamin Collective
