This one-of-a-kind concert experience brings together business and community leaders from the Quad Cities for an evening of rock star performances.

But it’s not just about the music – it’s about making a difference, too! All proceeds raised from this fundraising event will directly benefit the youth of the Quad Cities by supporting accessible and inclusive music education programs. While you’re rocking out, you’re also supporting a great cause.

Vote with your dollars! Donate or make a pledge of support in honor of your favorite band. The band that inspires the most support wins the “Golden Microphone”!

New this year: “Clock In”, one of this year’s Winter Blues Camp bands, is reuniting for one night only as the headliner for the evening. Come witness our programs in action and be amazed at these up-and-coming talents!
