Free live music on the Rock Hall plaza, with 2026 Artist in Residence: Carlo Michel.

Carlo Michel is a singer, songwriter, music producer, and music educator with a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance in Contemporary Music. His work bridges live performance and studio production, blending contemporary styles with genre-fluid influences and a distinct artistic identity. He is driven to create compelling musical experiences and build meaningful, lasting connections through his work.

Now in its sixth year, the Artist in Residence program focuses on up and coming musicians from the Northeast Ohio area. During their summer with us, the artists perform regularly on our plaza, spend time writing songs and developing their musical skills.

Additionally, they meet with industry professionals from around the country to learn about all facets of the music business, including marketing, merchandising, copywriting and publishing, PR and more. By the end of the program they will have tangible tools and resources, along with improved skills, that they can take with them to move to the next level of their music careers. The program is supported by the Kulas Foundation.
