Keith Grasso, owner of Island Music Company in La Plata, MD, is back to talk about the return of Rocktoberfest LP! Back in 2013, Keith was frustrated by the local school boards repeated cuts to the county’s music program, so he decided to raise money by holding a concert at a bar near his store. Overwhelmed by the response, the event grew year over year and now takes over main street La Plata for an all day event. The 2019 iteration of the show raised over $46,000 for the Charles County Music & Arts Program and this year is going to be the biggest one yet!

This year’s event, headlined by the 80s Glam Metal band Kix, will be held in downtown La Plata on Saturday, October 1st. Online tickets are sold out, but that’s only to leave plenty available at the gate. If you’re anywhere near the area, come on out!

Song: Kix - “Cold Blood”
