The concert poster collection of the late Gregory Hovanec Jr. will be on view
Well-known Cleveland music community member and DJ Gregory Hovanec Jr. — AKA DJ Hovaround — passed away suddenly in August of 2022 at the age of 49.
Barb Merritt, owner operator of 818 and close friend of Hovanec’s, will be providing this unique opportunity to view a wide range of work within the colorful genre of poster art. The opening reception for this exhibition is Friday March 10, 2023, from 6-10 p.m. and is part of the monthly Tremont Walkabout event.“Greg loved funk, yacht rock, metal, rap, hip hop, classic rock, alt rock, classic country, psychedelic rock and on and on,” said Merritt.
“Every chance he got he went to some show,” said Merritt. “He was open-minded about all kinds of music. He continued going to concerts up to the very end. Even when he could barely walk due to a severe back injury. The last show he went to was Peter Hook and the Light in Detroit, two days before his death. Greg felt at home at shows. He loved the communal feeling and pure joy that comes from sharing a live show with others.
“After moving to Cleveland, he quickly became friends with people from a wide range of social circles,” said Merritt. “He was an easy person to get along with and always believed in the power of music. Music created friendships for Greg. It was at my studio above the bank where I dubbed him Hovaround because he played music at one of my openings while wheeling around in an office chair the whole night.
