Calling all Rush fans!

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (1100 Rock and Roll Blvd Cleveland) welcomes 2013 Inductees Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush for a Fan Day on Saturday Jan 19 from 12 – 4 p.m.

Having played the bass guitar for over four decades, Lee has spent years collecting hundreds of vintage bass guitars. The sizeable collection turned into the impetus behind Lee’s new book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, and the Rock Hall’s Rush Fan Day, which features a new exhibit of Lee’s basses, a Hall of Fame Series interview with Lee hosted by bandmate Alex Lifeson, a book signing with Lee, and a rebroadcast of Rush’s Hall of Fame Induction.
