********************
About UsRock for a Cause is simply an award winning Charity Concert Series originally based out of Merrimack College. With all the major players now graduated, we are now independent and are planning on new shows to take place in the biggest rock clubs of Boston.Founded in 2003 at Merrimack College following the Station Nightclub fire that killed 100 people, RFAC is dedicated to putting on quality concerts that benefit music based charities. We have raised thousands of dollars for the Station Nightclub Fire Relief Fund and VH1's Save the Music FoundationSo Far, we have put on 3 shows, in April 2003, February 2005 and December 2005. The first show was an all out Rock fest, featuring 2 stages side by side, stretching the full width of the Merrimack College MPR. It was Non-Stop rock music for 5 hours...And we raised several thousand dollars for the Station Nightclub Fire Relief fund.In early 2005 we kicked it up a notch and also down a notch. We invited back some of those same Rockers and brought in some new ones, took away thier amplifiers and put acoustic guitars in thier hands. Tossing them on the stage in the intimate setting of the 600 seat Roger's Center, we made a truely unique acoustic event insipred by the old MTV Unplugged. That show was an amazing success, raising several thousand for VH1 Save the Music.Following the success of RFAC Unplugged, we went back to our original formula. Big Stage, Big Sound, Big Lights, and Awesome Bands. On December 3rd 2005, Rock for a Cause returned in all of its glory. With Hundreds of people in the room, Todd Martin, Pete Kilpatrick, Six Day Slide and Waltham played unforgettable sets. The show was again a complete success, meeting all goals and donating the proceeds to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation.After graduating from Merrimack, we decided to do it again. In 2007, we decided to put on a show in Boston at Bills Bar. Booking some of Boston and New York's best bands, and supporting the world famous Jimmy Fund. Violet Nine, Six Day Slide, Parkview, and NYC's Daphne rocked Bill's to the foundation. With a huge crowd and plenty of tequila flowing on Cinco De Mayo, it was a huge success.Next show is TBD.
