In anticipation of Saturday's Rock-n-Romp at the Shell, we've been doing a media blitz. It's our first ever public show and our first ever partnership with the Memphis Music Foundation. We're really excited! We have a great line up (Robby Grant, Scandalouz Vandalistz, and the Kenny Brown Band) and lots of fun activities planned for the kids (sprinklers, a badass Balloon Man, and the Hooper Troopers). Oh and lots of beer!
Yesterday Robby Grant and his son, Five, kicked off the media blitz by giving the Live at 9 viewers a little preview of their set for Saturday. The board members and some friends brought their kids along and we had a nice little romp right there in Peabody Place. Marvin Stockwell and Pat Worley Mitchell also did an interview.
Later that afternoon, Marvin, Kate Crowder, and I went to WKNO to do a "Checking on the Arts" spot with Kacky Walton. It was really fun to meet her in person (and hear her cuss like a sailor when not on air) and get to promote one of my pet projects on my favorite radio station.
This week's Flyer also features a RnR piece, The Swing Set, by Mary Cashiola. She popped into our Debbie Lee mixer last week and got the deets on Rock-n-Romp's humble beginnings in Debbie's DC backyard.
Saturday morning, Marvin will hit the airwaves again on Action News Weekend.
Hopefully all of our hard work (and fun) will pay off. We'd really love to see a big crowd on Saturday. (Hint, hint. I'm talking to you! Tell your friends!)
We'll start at 4pm, so plan your kids' naps accordingly!

Are kids a requirement? It sounds like so much fun. Hmmm...maybe I could borrow a couple from someone.
Yes, Megany09, kids are required! But they can be borrowed!
