Rock and Soul Festival

From the Mississippi blues of Robert Johnson to the pioneering rap of Run D.M.C., African-American musicians have shaped our cultural soundtrack. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum celebrates that fact each summer with its Rock and Soul Festival, a daylong event that brings national and local musicians to the Rock Hall stage. Stop by just for the free sounds and celebration, or stick around and check out the museum (standard admission fees apply) to further explore the roots of rock.
