Get Ready To Rock For Love (2014 Edition)

Get Ready To Rock For Love (2014 Edition)

Get ready to throw down for a good cause: The Church Health Center's annual Rock for Love festival starts Friday, September 5 and runs through Sunday, September 7.

This year, Rock for Love has packed three days with live music from 35 - yes, 35! - of Memphis' finest musicians. All of the musicians are donating their time and talent so that 100 percent of the proceeds can go to the Church Health Center, an organization that provides healthcare to Memphis' working uninsured. In the last 8 years, Rock for Love has raised $200,000.

All the shows are free except the Hi-Tone show on Friday and the Hattiloo Theatre after party on Saturday. Having said that, keep in mind that the whole point of Rock for Love is to raise money for the Church Health Center, so donations are encouraged.
