Cleveland-based Long Road has a specialty that’s unique in the local music scene: its shows pay tribute the ’60s folk revival, the fondly remembered era of La Cave on Euclid and E. 105th Street.
Featuring a stellar group of experienced local musicians — David Budin, Kevin Richards, Ray DeForest, and Robert Sandham — plus the Athens, Ohio-based duo of Charlie and Celia Hollander Lewis, Long Road has been performing their themed folk shows at venues like Nighttown and Cain Park since 2007.
Now they’re doing their first CD and it’s a live one, to be recorded at the Barnful of Tunes in Avon Lake. They’re inviting folk fans to come down, hear them play, and hang out afterward for cookies.
They’re asking for a $15 donation to benefit Music on a Mission, a nonprofit that takes music to groups ranging from children to seniors. It’s BB.
The place is small so please call and make a reservation if you‘d like come. You can do so by emailing jim.miraldi@gmail.com or marilynz8@yahoo.com and sending a check made payable to “Music on a Mission” to 31950 Krebs Road, Avon Lake, OH 44012. An advance donation guarantees you a seat.
If you can’t make it out and would like to kick in a little something they’ve got an indiegogo campaign.

Sales of the album will benefit Roots of American Music, an educational nonprofit funded by Richards.
