Kathy Blackman, owner of Grog Shop in Cleveland talks history of the venue and #SaveOurStages movement

On this episode of Happy Hour with Steve Guy, the show begins at
its home of All Saints Public House in Cleveland, but then heads
crosstown to Cleveland Hts and iconic independent music venue,
The Grog Shop, to talk to its owner Kathy Blackman. Kathy chats
about starting the venue, some of the history of now famous
performers and what its going through currently as she has teamed
up with other independent venue owners across the country for
#SaveOurStages. Venues like the Grog Shop, are in danger of not
opening again due to the Coronavirus pandemic, as they can not
operate at a capacity to allow them to even break even.
