Community Brief: Rock rest concert

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Staff

The Rock Rest Amphitheater in Northern Chatham County will hold a benefit on Saturday, September 13th at 4 p.m. Money raised will be used for stage repairs and operations. The amphitheater, 15 minutes south of Carrboro, was founded in 1981 by James Carnahan and the Rock Rest community.

The event will feature musicians from area bands: Polecat Creek’s Laurelyn Dossett, Great Big Gone and Lynn Blakey of Tres Chicas. Dossett will perform with friends Molly McGinn and Scott Manring while Blakey will be joined by her husband, fiddle player Ecki Heins. Great Big Gone will be playing songs from their recent CD release, Threadbare Heart.

To reserve seats for the show and for directions email rockrest@embarqmail.com or call 542-5943. Donations of $12 per seat are requested; kids under 12 get in free. General information about this event and upcoming ones can be viewed at www.musicalroots.net.
