SPIN and The 27 Club Partner During Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Weekend

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SPIN and The 27 Club (owned by musician and Cleveland native Machine Gun Kelly) have partnered to create a series of events opening with a panel to help raise awareness for mental health and addiction recovery on Friday, October 29th. This private event will kick off the weekend of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland and will be in partnership with The Phoenix, a sober active community that fuels resilience and harnesses the transformational power of connection so that together we rise, recover and live. The night will offer a moderated panel with Dr. John C. Hardin, Vice President, Stand Together; Scott Strode, Founder of The Phoenix; Los Angeles-based artist ASW, and will be followed by an evening of music from DJs curated by SPIN and Machine Gun Kelly.

Mental health awareness is a critical topic, especially during these challenging times. Artists have played a key role in opening a dialogue about vulnerability and further encourage asking for help. The moderated conversation will touch on the problem and a vision for a better world, in an effort to provide clear next steps and engagement opportunities for the audience.

The 27 Club is named after famous musicians who have passed away at the age of 27. Many have been featured on SPIN Magazine covers over the years, including Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain. On this same night, SPIN will create a dedicated gallery of these memorable covers, as well as other iconic images they've captured in years past. The installation will remain in place following the event and be open to the public for one month, until December 1, 2021. The 27 Club is located at 1215 W 10th St, Cleveland, OH 44113.
