Cleveland musician Ron Redfield’s project Dreamstreet didn’t come out of thin air.
His roots go back to the masters of the northeast Ohio music scene.

As a youngster, eager to join the area’s thriving music scene, he signed up at a music store to
take lessons from Joe Walsh. But with his own career about to explode, Walsh was too busy
and handed him over to another Cleveland guitar legend, Glenn Schwartz, who had returned
home after a stint with West Coast hitmakers Pacific Gas and Electric.

That rooted him in the blues music that was Schwartz’s main passion until he died in 2018.
Redfield recalls, “He was always in my life after that. He’d come over and put on concerts in
the living room for people. He’d show up to jam. The most important thing Glenn Schwartz
told me was you should be able to take one note and make people cry.”
