Rock Academy Gig

The concert that marks the culmination of the most recent session of Rock Academy is coming up this weekend. Our 13 year-old, Alayne, is singing for two of the bands this time around.

Place and time:

Ballydoyle Irish Pub
Downers Grove, IL
Sunday, November 1st
3:00 pm

In a world where the words "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" make people think of video games before they think of actual musicians, Rock Academy gives teenagers a chance to learn what it's like to play in a band and gig for real. They rehearse for 8 weeks, then do at least one gig at the end of the session.

Usually about 6 or 7 bands play, so if you're in the neighborhood stop by and support these kids. They always put on a great show.
