BOP STOP at The Music Settlement is Cleveland's premier listening room: an intimate, acoustically pristine performance venue with sweeping views of Lake Erie.
Bop Stop
The Bop Stop opens one hour to showtime on evenings when there is a performance.
In October 2023, BOP STOP is turning 9!
Donated to The Music Settlement nearly a decade ago, today BOP STOP programs an astounding 275+ concerts and events every season, reaching approximately 12,000 audience members and engaging 700+ local and national artists. We have much to be proud of!
We will be celebrating with a week of performances from October 17 – 22, 2023. Programming will include a range of exciting jazz offerings: local and national acts, experimental works as well as fan favorites, singer-songwriter night, improv jam session, free and ticketed events.
Join us in supporting the wonderful work happening here at The Music Settlement and across our community – in our school residencies and music therapy partner agencies, on our two campuses (University Circle & Ohio City), and of course, at Cleveland’s premiere jazz venue, BOP STOP.

The Bop Stop is undoubtedly one of the most unique spaces for artists in Cleveland. Over the past several years it has become the epicenter for creative music and jazz in NEO and has almost single handedly put Cleveland back on the map for national touring jazz artists.
