First Open Mic Night Attended by 15!

Open Mic Night has been a great success and an awesome time!
Every Friday is Open Mic night at the ROCK’n’BLUES Academy! It starts at 7:30 and goes until 9:30. Bands and Individuals may show up to perform or jam with other musicians. No reservation needed! It’s like having a party to go to every weekend! It’s a great time for students, pros, spectators and parents alike. Water, soft drinks and snacks are free with your $5 admission. That’s right- a big night out for only $5 each! That’s half the price of a movie and much better for you. This is a great performance opportunity in a fun-family-friendly atmosphere.

BBQ4GOD

If you like GOD, or you like a good BBQ, you will not want to miss the 3rd semi-annual BBQ4GOD in the ROCK’n’BLUES parking lot on Sunday March 21st from 12:30 to 2:00. Come hear Dave Shepard and the Blues Riders and a guest band perform and get a FREE lunch. No donations accepted!

St. Pauls Carnival a Success!

In spite of inclement weather, (rain, tornadoes, wind and other minor annoyances) the dedicated rockers of ROCK’n’BLUES took the stage and proved that you can’t keep a good rocker down! Once again, the equipment and performers got a little wet, but thankfully no one got electrocuted! 8 of our student bands and 3 solo acts performed. It was awesome!
