Rock For Hope Wall Benefit Concert (Aurora)

My intake of local live music is not what it used to be. What with the small children who require babysitters when we're not around (the nerve!) and the struggle to stay awake past 9:30pm, we just can't seem to make it to our favorite venues to see bands play.

Which is why we will DEFINITELY be at the Rock For Hope Wall benefit concert at Ballydoyle in Aurora this Sunday, April 25, from 1pm to 6pm. (Well, we might not be there for the entire 5 hours but you know what I mean.) We get to enjoy a family-friendly rock show during daylight hours at one of the best music rooms in the Fox Valley. The admission is $5 and all proceeds go towards the Hope Wall School in Aurora.

Artists who are scheduled to perform include:

• Side Of Beef
• Hix Bros Junior All Stars
• Kevin Trudo [Friend of the Voice] and Meathawk
• Blue Smoke [featuring Friend of the Voice Greg Iteen]
• The Captains Of Industry

The fundraiser will also include a silent auction, raffles and games for the kids.  95.9 The River will bring their River Road Crew and I believe they will be broadcasting live from the event.


Keep an eye out for a goofy looking guy with a goatee trying to keep his kid from running onto the stage.  See you there!
