Rocking Out For A Cause is a benefit concert organization started by two friends in late 2006. Jason Nolan and Samm Rowland both had a love for the local music scene and decided that it was about time they threw a show of their own. They then decided that it shouldn’t just be a show. It should be a huge show for something. So with that wish in mind they decided to throw a benefit concert for those suffering in Darfur Sudan. Darfur was suggested by Jason’s mother who works at the Save The Children Foundation. It was then decided that all proceeds from this concert would go to Save The Children who would then transfer the funds to Darfur. The concert was then given a name: Rocking Out For A Cause(ROFAC). The first concert was a great success featuring bands from CT, Mass, NY, and even Seattle, Washington. It was held that July. The success of the first show encouraged Jason and Samm to continue on with the cause and keep hosting ROFAC’s. This also became a reality in December 2006 when the 2nd Rocking Out For A Cause took place featuring some original faces and new talents added to the line up. Currently, ROFAC is working on even more shows and even more new bands to bring to your ears. With these shows being set up it looks like a bright future for Darfur, for ROFAC, and for the local music scene. We hope to see you at a show soon.
Next ROFAC
