Fri, October 2, 2026 • 6-8pm The Treelawn (15335 Waterloo Rd.) Free event! RSVP Here. Frida and the Mann Emerging in 2024 from Cleveland, OH, Frida and The Mann blends alternative rock and indie pop into a genre-defying sound. From Frida and the Mann’s Inception, the goal was simple. Make music that people can feel. Be unapologetic. Be raw. Be true. This band from Cleveland, OH was formed in mid 2023 by Frida Mann (vocals) Adam Cramer (guitars) and Zachary Horstman (drums) while in someone else’s basement, in a small space, with big dreams. Shortly thereafter, Stefan Johnson (bass/vocals) joined to complete the sonic landscape. Now winners of the 2024 Cleveland Music Awards Best New Artist, they are emerging as one of the most unique sounding musical artists in Cleveland. Their alternative atmospheric pop-rock sound hits hard as you feel every turn of the rollercoaster songs in your body because it’s straight from their soul. https://fridaandthemann.com https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556209380742 Nature Nvoke Cleveland artist Nate “Ace” Eberhardt is an Afro-futurist and prolific conceptualist whose belief in the healing power of music has manifested itself in 5 singles and 7 EP’s. These works of varying numbers of tracks were produced and released under the name Nature, including the 2024 12-song album, “Doors Of Perception.” Since its beginning as a solo project in 2019, Eberhardt has primarily been concerned with turning the practice of merging past struggles and present identity into a sound. Naturally evolving since its conception, what was once a solo bedroom project has become a full ensemble with the additions of drummer David “Coach Dave” Parks and bassist Josh “Mekhi” Burton. Now Nature Nvoke, the group is releasing Echoes In Eternity, an 5 song EP, the group’s first full band offering. https://www.facebook.com/naturenvoke https://www.instagram.com/naturenvoke This event is made possible with support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and The Ohio Arts Council.
