East Wind began playing in the Greater Cleveland area in the late 1960's. They performed throughout Ohio and Kentucky until 1980 - reuniting in September of 2009.

These and several other East Wind original songs were recently remastered and released by Bob Szabo who was one of the earliest bass players for East Wind. Bob worked and released East Wind's vinyl album with many East Wind originals late in 2025. East Wind is now Ohio's premier authentic 70's/80's classic rock band!

Member Events

In the wake of the heartbreaking loss of a Valley Forge student, many parents in our community felt the same thing — we needed to do something.


These “You Matter” yard signs were created as a simple but powerful reminder that every person deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported. As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we hope to fill our Tri-City community—Parma, Parma Heights, and Seven Hills—with this message and create visible reminders throughout our neighborhoods that no one is alone.


These signs are for anyone and everyone to display—parents, families, neighbors, local businesses, schools, and community members who want to stand together in support of mental health awareness and kindness.


This is more than a sign — it’s a community statement. It’s people coming together to say: we care, we notice, and you matter.


Proceeds from these signs will go directly back into our schools to support student safety initiatives and help strengthen the environments where our kids learn and grow every day.


We would love for the entire Tri-City community to stand with us, place a sign in your yard, and help spread awareness, compassion, and connection—one street at a time.
