Lowcountry Boil

The Music Initiative, in conjunction with This Is Noteworthy {tin}, joins forces with Rockers for Knockers, Inc. to co-produce music for the third annual Rockers 4 Knockers event on Sunday, October 13 on Shem Creek. This year anticipates being “the Breast year ever” as the musicians selected to play will have a tie to the disease itself. The Music Initiative/ This Is Noteworthy will produce a live-to-tape version of the popular local music television program Eclectic Evenings from the event. Participating bands will have the opportunity to play a 45-minute to an hour-long set each between noon and 5pm on the day of the event, and be featured in an individual video segment as part of this special Eclectic Evenings broadcast.

For the third year running, the team at Rockers for Knockers, Inc., along with sponsors Southern Eagle, Bud Light and Goose Island Honkers,  will raise money for Breast Cancer awareness with musicians creating the festivities for a fun day on Shem Creek. The concerts actively give a way for people to celebrate the lives of those who have been saved and those who have passed. This all day event featuring live music and a pub crawl will raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Lowcountry and Integrative Cancer Care organizations. Headlining the event is Charleston’s own Elise Testone.

The Music Initiative and This Is Noteworthy {tin} help further musical and health-minded causes in the Southeast. {tin} produced the bands playing along the route for the 2013 Cooper River Bridge Run and is known locally for broadcasting their Eclectic Evenings weekly musical showcase and producing Charleston’s BalconyTV segments. They also provide national and international coverage of “local music scenes” in their quarterly magazine Found: Music Uncovered.
