North Coast Harbor
The American Musicological Society and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (RRHOF) in Cleveland, Ohio, collaborate on a lecture series that brings scholarly work to a broader audience and showcases the musicological work of the top scholars in the field. Join us to hear from historian Nadine Hubbs as she explores the history of Latino involvement and contributions in country music.
In 1972, a half-century after the birth of commercial country music, Billboard country charts posted the first hit single by a Latin artist, a young Tejano named Johnny Rodriguez. Over the next twenty-one months, three Mexican American artists—Rodriguez, Freddy Fender, and Linda Ronstadt—racked up seventeen Top 10 hits, including ten at No. 1.
These artists returned to the country charts throughout the ’70s and ’80s, with solo records and sometimes collaborations. But the half-century since 1975 has seen only one Latin solo artist top the country charts: Rick Trevino in 1996.

Just in time for the spookiest time of year, Dracula is a captivating adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic novel, brought to life through two time Tony Award nominated Lynne Taylor-Corbett's mesmerizing choreography and haunting music performed live under the baton of Lorenzo Lopez. Paired with Taylor-Corbett's Code of Silence, you don't want to miss these shows in tribute to the late choreographer.
Dracula tells the story of the enigmatic count who preys upon the living to sustain his immortal existence. As Dracula sets his sights on the innocent Mina Murray, her fiancé and a group of determined vampire hunters embark on a perilous quest to stop him.
Code of Silence follows a narrative that begins in isolation, erupts, and concludes with a full-circle resolution. The core idea of loss, longing, and reunification is deeply human and universally resonant for a perfectly sinister show.

Just in time for the spookiest time of year, Dracula is a captivating adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic novel, brought to life through two time Tony Award nominated Lynne Taylor-Corbett's mesmerizing choreography and haunting music performed live under the baton of Lorenzo Lopez. Paired with Taylor-Corbett's Code of Silence, you don't want to miss these shows in tribute to the late choreographer.
Dracula tells the story of the enigmatic count who preys upon the living to sustain his immortal existence. As Dracula sets his sights on the innocent Mina Murray, her fiancé and a group of determined vampire hunters embark on a perilous quest to stop him.
Code of Silence follows a narrative that begins in isolation, erupts, and concludes with a full-circle resolution. The core idea of loss, longing, and reunification is deeply human and universally resonant for a perfectly sinister show.

Join us for our 2025 Fall Film Series, where we explore films that highlight the powerful connection between music and comedy, in celebration of our new exhibit SNL: Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years Of Music.
This week, we’re showcasing Richard Linklater’s 2003 comedy School of Rock, where the overly enthusiastic guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is kicked out of his band and ends up posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite private elementary school. He teaches his students about the hard rock gods he idolizes and emulates – much to the consternation of the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). As he gets his privileged, precocious, and talented students to “live hardcore” he imagines redemption at a local Battle of the Bands.

This week, we’re showcasing the iconic SNL film, The Blues Brothers, a spin off from the TV show’s 1978 recurring musical sketch. After his release from prison, Jake (John Belushi) reunites with his brother, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) – collectively known as the “Blues Brothers.” When the brothers realize the orphanage they grew up in is closing, they realize that it is “a mission from god” to save it, and they work to raise money by getting their old band back together. However, after playing several gigs and making a few enemies (including the police), the brothers face daunting odds to deliver the money on time.
