Cleveland based Love Muffin Records holds its 14th LoveMuffinPalooza concert this year. Tickets to attend in person are $10. This event will also be livestreamed on The Music Settlement's Youtube channel at showtime. Accessing the stream is free but donations are encouraged and appreciated and can be made at www.givebutter.com/LoveMuffinPalooza

Owner Adam Rich started LoveMuffinPalooza in 2008 for bands he wanted to work with on his label Love Muffin Records. Highly influenced by the old Undercurrents music festival, the concert evolved into a multi-evening event. A raffle was started in 2010 to get some extra income for the bands. In 2011, proceeds from the raffle went to benefit the Cleveland APL. After Adam’s cousin passed from cancer that year, he was determined to find a cancer related charity for future raffles. He came across The Gathering Place, a local cancer support center with locations in Beachwood and Westlake (www.touchedbycancer.org) and has been working with them since 2012. As bands started donating their pay and sponsors were added, the raffle prizes got bigger and better. Two years ago, the entire event was officially made a fundraiser for The Gathering Place. Over the last 10 years over $11,000 has been raised.

The raffle will consist of 75 prizes given away throughout the night!

The lineup for the BOP STOP concert on 10/9 includes:

• GS Harper
• Brian Alan Hager
• Mallory San Marco
• Flowers Love Being Kurt
• Lack Of Direction
• Michelle Romary

The Emcee’s will be Rock Hall author Jan Mitchell and WCSB DJ Ray Carr. Jan recently released “My Ticket To Ride - How I Ran Away To England To Meet The Beatles and Got Rock and Roll Banned in Cleveland."
