LeAnn Rimes to Headline Free Concert in Mentor This Summer
MENTOR, OH – Music fans all over Northeast Ohio are in for an exceptional summer as Grammy-winning country star LeAnn Rimes headlines a free concert at the Mentor Civic Amphitheater on July 28, 2024. This performance is part of the Mentor Rocks series, which is known for bringing premier musical acts to the area each summer. The event is made possible by Tour Lake County and promises to be a significant draw with its no-cost entry.
Rimes, renowned for her powerful vocals and songwriting skills, has accumulated numerous awards throughout her career, including two Grammy® Awards and twelve Billboard Music Awards. She remains influential in the music industry, with her single “How Do I Live” holding the record for Billboard’s all-time No. 1 hit by a female artist. Her latest album, "god’s work," was released in 2022 and continues to add to her multi-genre acclaim.
The Mentor Rocks event is celebrated for its festival-like atmosphere, drawing nearly 93,000 people last year. With a mix of live music, local food vendors, and drinks, and with lawn seating available for families and groups, this is sure to be an amazing event for all. Attendees can bring their own food, although alcohol from outside is not permitted.
While the Mentor concert series boasts free admission and parking thanks to the generosity of local sponsors like Prosperity Haven and Cleveland Clinic, the broader Cleveland area is also set to host an array of other major music stars this summer. The lineup includes Janet Jackson and Nelly at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on June 25, Justin Timberlake on July 7, and a special performance by Aerosmith with The Black Crowes on September 29. Additionally, the Blossom Music Center will see Chris Stapleton on May 31, Kenny Chesney on June 6, and a series of concerts featuring artists like Dave Matthews Band, Nora Jones, and Meghan Trainor throughout the summer.
