SUMMARY:Lerner on the Lawn: Let's Rock! - EatDrinkBeHappy
DESCRIPTION:EatDrinkBeHappy is the bold new project from Nashville songwriter and artist John Allan Miller\, created as both a music project and a life philosophy: live fully\, laugh loudly\, and never let your soul grow old. \nJohn’s journey began in 2015 when he moved to Nashville to chase down a dream and build a career in songwriting. That dream took root fast after signing his first publishing deal in 2017.. Since then\, his songs have been recorded by over 100 artists across genres\, including major label names like Grammy-nominated contemporary Christian star Blessing Offor\, country standout Tiera Kennedy\, and rock mainstays Saliva\, who are releasing his song “Devil’s World” as their next single. \nAs a performer\, John earned a reputation for his high-energy\, magnetic presence at iconic venues like The Bluebird Café\, The Listening Room\, and The Wildhorse Saloon. His artistry took center stage in 2019 when he was selected for CMT’s prestigious Artist Development program. Over the next two years\, his solo country career flourished\, racking up millions of streams with songs like “Just Add Water\,” “Bad Day To Be A Beer\,” and “Once in a Blue Moon”. \nIn 2024\, John made a conscious shift. Tired of being boxed in by genre and wanting to tell a bigger story\, he stepped away from the country brand and went all in on a new chapter: EatDrinkBeHappy. \nSince launching in June 2024\, EatDrinkBeHappy has released 15 genre-blending singles that celebrate adventure\, purpose\, and joy. The latest single\, “Die Young”\, explores the idea of growing old while staying young at heart\, anchored by its unforgettable hook: “I wanna die young as old as I can.” The next release\, “On My Way To Somewhere\,” drops June 27th\, with the debut EatDrinkBeHappy album following later this summer. \nAlongside the music\, Miller is launching the EatDrinkBeHappy Podcast in June 2025—a platform where he’ll dive deeper into the stories behind the songs and his ongoing journey to live life as fully as possible. \nFor John Allan Miller\, EatDrinkBeHappy isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a mission and an invitation for all to join in on doing all to live this one life as fully as possible.

SUMMARY:Lerner on the Lawn - Hooked Like Helen
DESCRIPTION:In a house in the woods about 40 miles west of Cleveland\, Hooked Like Helen began as the musical brainstorms of husband-and-wife\, Jon and Nikki Stipp. Experimental home recordings quickly developed into an alt-pop vision; within a year of the project’s inception\, Nikki and Jon had shaped a new sound that reflected their truth and their influences in a seamless blend of organic and electronic production. The band’s 2019 five song EP\, Tragedy Of Physics\, co-produced by Nikki and long-time friend and collaborator\, Grammy-winning Isha Erskine (Ziggy Marley\, The Black Eyed Peas)\, garnered international attention: The music video for the angsty-beautiful piano ballad “Liar” premiered on Radio Disney platforms and received a nomination for Best Independent Music Video from the esteemed Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The song was included in an emotional scene in the motion picture\, High Strung: Free Dance and subsequently generated a flood of streams and downloads via the film’s soundtrack. Starring Thomas Doherty (Disney’s Descendants 2 and 3)\, and Jane Seymour\, the film was released on Netflix on May 31st\, 2020 and prominently features “Liar” in an emotional\, groundbreaking dance sequence choreographed by Tyce Diorio (So You Think You Can Dance\, Taylor Swift’s ‘ME!’) \nHooked Like Helen is the recent recipient of several prestigious accolades in the independent music scene: Nikki and Jon were honored with Duo Of The Year and EP Of The Year at the 6th and 7th annual Josie Music Awards respectively\, boasting a total of 9 nominations in multiple categories of the largest independent award show in the world. “Liar” was recently named a winner in the distinguished International Songwriting Competition for the second consecutive year\, following wins in two categories in ISC’s sister competition\, Unsigned Only in 2020. The panel of judges included Charli XCX\, Robert Smith and Grouplove among other well-respected industry legends. \nHooked Like Helen’s Tragedy Of Physics EP has been decorated with acclaim by several leading music publications. The first single\, “No Turning Back”\, was premiered by CLASH Magazine who praised it as “a soaring\, vastly uplifting piece of bouncy\, addictive alt-pop”. The EP’s 2nd single\, “Tear This Place Apart”\, premiered via the highly influential UK-based The Line Of Best Fit and received rave reviews from the magazine. \nNikki and Jon have managed to flourish musically during a period of instability in the world and the band is incredibly humbled and grateful to be thriving. 2020 began with a set of custom musical placements in the wildly popular\, 3 time Emmy winning Netflix docu-series\, CHEER. Nikki composed tracks for 9 pivotal scenes across the 6 episode series\, including the final credits for episodes 2 and 3. The 2021 Sports Emmy-nominated docu-series\, Golden: The Journey of USA’s Elite Gymnasts  features 7 pieces of music composed by Nikki\, courtesy of her working relationship with BMG. Hooked Like Helen has a bit of a history of scoring music for docu-series’; previously\, the band’s tracks “Get Well”\, “Surface Break”\, and “Concrete Tub” were placed on MTV’s Unlocking The Truth and were included on the show’s official Spotify playlist. “Surface Break” was also featured in the emotional final segment of Davis Guggenheim’s poignant documentary\, The Dream Is Now which chronicles the struggles of the children of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. \nThe band enjoyed several very successful live residencies at world-renowned Cedar Point in 2020 and 2021\, performing for a diverse and international audience who immediately adored Hooked Like Helen’s universal musical appeal and dynamic\, energetic stage show. Other notable performances include a set at the beautiful 1700 seat Lerner Theatre in Elkhart Indiana this past summer in which the band wowed a local audience during a community Artwalk Festival.  In May 2020\, during the first chapter of the COVID pandemic\, the duo had the privilege of playing a livestream from the historic 1500 seat Sandusky State Theatre. This show was broadcast to local fans via the Sandusky Register and became the last live performance to occur on the Sandusky State Theatre stage before the iconic venue was severely damaged in a storm on June 10th. Fox 8 News Cleveland aired clips from the Hooked Like Helen livestream on June 12th\, 2020. \nHooked Like Helen recently signed with international booking agency\, TKO (The Ataris\, Soul Asylum). The band is currently collaborating with several talented and well-established producers in Music City including the multi GRAMMY award-winning\, platinum-selling Skidd Mills and the brilliant Noah Henson (Pillar\, Brantley Gilbert). The band’s new single\, “Streamers & Balloons” was released on October 28th and their cover of “Winter” by Tori Amos premiered on Cleveland Scene Magazine on January 6th. \nHooked Like Helen’s sound embodies a unique vein of alternative music; dark lyrical themes of unresolved trauma and existential pondering provide a refreshingly authentic perspective. The rawness of Nikki’s voice pulls the listener through heavy subject matter on a vessel of commercially friendly sonic sensibilities. This stark juxtaposition of darkness and light creates a sort of musical chemical reaction that lingers on the mind long after the first listen. A lush universe of layered harmonies and intricately woven polyphony carry us through a chaotic and sad world view but leave us almost inexplicably with a sense of hope. The songs of Hooked Like Helen exist in a timeless\, ageless vacuum in which melody reigns supreme.

SUMMARY:Lerner on the Lawn - David Bennett
DESCRIPTION:“Bennett is a player superbly well balanced between purity and power. Bennett injects three heady shots of adrenalin that bring the music sharply to life.” \n– Downbeat Magazine \nDave Bennett doesn’t fit the mold. \nFor starters\, you don’t find many jazz clarinet players who name Alice Cooper\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, and Chris Isaak among their influences. You won’t find many musicians who are equally conversant with the music of Benny Goodman (the “King of Swing”) and Roy Orbison (“The Soul of Rock and Roll”). In fact\, you may not find even one other clarinet virtuoso who breaks from his Swing Era repertoire to sing rockabilly hits while accompanying himself at the piano or electric guitar. \nDave began his national touring career at the age of 14. He has been a featured soloist at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops (2013) and has been featured with 35 other US and Canadian orchestras including Nashville\, Houston\, Detroit\, Rochester\, Omaha\, Toronto\, Calgary\, Vancouver\, Orlando\, San Antonio\, Jacksonville\, Portland\, OR and Portland\, ME. Some of his annual appearances include The Elkhart Jazz Festival\, The Suncoast Classic Jazz Festival\, The Arizona Classic Jazz Festival\, The Sacramento Hot Jazz Jubilee\, The Clambake Music Festival\, and The Redwood Coast Music Festival. \nDave has been featured on NPR Radio’s “Jazz at Riverwalk.” He made his European debut in 2008 at The Bern Jazz Festival (Switzerland) in a combo with jazz legends and Benny Goodman band alumni guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli and vibraphonist\, the late Peter Appleyard. \nIn March 2022\, Dave and his band performed to a sold-out audience at New York City’s Birdland Theater. \nDave is a recording artist on jazz label Mack Avenue Records. His second release\, Blood Moon reached No. 24 on the Billboard Jazz charts in 2018. \nDuring the isolation of the pandemic\, fate steered Dave’s time off the road into a bold new direction. He put his guitar pedal to the metal and stepped away from his beloved clarinet. A songwriter stepped forward. Road songs\, reverb-laded guitar solos that could power a surf documentary\, and memories of loves and lives lost are the mile markers that makeup his latest release “Nowhere Fast”. His first full-length rock album is a deep\, soul-searching joyride through the back streets of his mind. \nLeave it to Dave Bennett to prove that sometimes the best way to move forward is to go back to the beginnings of what drives you.

SUMMARY:Lerner on the Lawn - The Menus
DESCRIPTION:Lead Singer Tim Goldrainer: \nAt an early age\, music was already seeded deeply in lead singer Tim Goldrainer’s being. Having older siblings and parents who loved music\, there was an abundance of genres to choose from. Tim took them all: 50’s\, 60’s\, and 70’s music. They all filled his house. Some friends in high school were forming a band and looking for a lead singer. Tim auditioned and landed the gig. He worked at Larosa’s as a dining room manager during the day and played gigs on the weekends. The shows started picking up from backyard parties to actual club dates. He left the restaurant business and dove head first into a full time career. \nOn June 3rd\, 1983\, in a small basement in a small house on the west side of Cincinnati\, Ohio\, The Menus were born! There have been many changes over the years including song selection\, wardrobe changes\, skateboarding\, props\, trapeze swinging and of course balloon kicking. Name a song\, costume or stunt and Tim has most likely done it! 2023 marks 40 years of high-energy performances and balloon-kicking fun with no end in sight. As long as people continue to show up at the shows\, Tim will continue to keep the energy level high and make sure the people are happy and well entertained. Come see why The Menus are known as one of the best rock cover bands in the area!

SUMMARY:Lerner on the Lawn - Gizzae
DESCRIPTION:Gizzae is truly a band of the world – With musicians hailing from the four corners of the Earth\, Rocket and Gizzae have been playing for crowds across the country for over 35 years! Their musical experiences have collectively earned them Grammy® awards\, Chicago Music Awards and they have opened for some of the biggest names in Reggae. They have also recorded and played professionally with such acts as: \nZiggy Marley\, The Rolling Stones\, Bruce Springsteen\, Third World\, Toots and Maytals\, Burning Spear\, Carly Simon\, The Talking Heads\, Rita Marley\, Judy Mowatt\, Chachi\, Michael Black\, Moja Nya\, Dallol\, Rude Beat Society\, The Mighty Baron of Trinidad\, Bell Combo and many others. \nWorking and playing with such a vast array of musical styles and talents has enabled Gizzae to create a unique blend of Roots Reggae. Rocket and Gizzae’s brand of jam-reggae is always backed with strong guitar solos\, riffing-warm pads and ambient vibes from their lineup. \nSome songs are heavily influenced by Soca\, Cumpas\, Calypso and other genres such as Jazz\, Rock and Blues. Just when you think you’ve heard everything Gizzae has to offer\, the band instinctively and seamlessly transitions into Bob Marley reggae/blues finale to satisfy the keyboard and guitar solo fans. This is the way to see a Chicago reggae band! \nFormed in 1992 after the breakup of Dallol (Ziggy Marley’s Touring Band) and Moja Nya (New York)\, Gizzae soon became a fan favorite in the Chicago and Midwest reggae scene. A Sunday night staple at the fledgling Wild Hare\, fans started to come out to hear this new reggae band in force and 29 years later\, they still rock the house. \nIf you like live jams and wicked solos\, come dance the night away with Gizzae!
