The Solidarity Series: Brent Kirby and Jim Ballard

The Solidarity Series returns to Treelawn Social Club for an evening of intimate folk rock with Brent Kirby and Jim Ballard. Kirby, whose music has been described as "Main Character" music, offers reflective performances where listeners often find themselves as a catalyst in the song. His soulful, weathered voice and universal lyrics create a deeply personal experience. Joining him is Jim Ballard, adding his own folk rock stylings to the lineup.

Attendees can expect a warm, all-ages atmosphere in the Waterloo Road venue. The series, sponsored by the Morning Glory Angel and AFM Local 4, fosters a sense of community through live music. Kirby was voted Best Folk by the Cleveland Music Awards in 2022 and has shared the stage with acts such as Squeeze and Elizabeth Cook. The Solidarity Series continues to highlight Cleveland's vibrant original music scene.
