Columbia, S.C. Gears Up for the 5th Annual Rock 4 Recovery Concert
Columbia, South Carolina, is about to get a dose of rock ‘n’ roll for a cause. As the leaves start to change and the air gets a little crisper, the local non-profit, LRADAC, is gearing up for its 5th annual Rock 4 Recovery concert fundraiser. This year’s event is scheduled for Friday, October 4, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the scenic Icehouse Amphitheater in Lexington.
Bringing Together Music and Community
If you’re a fan of music and want to support a great cause, this concert is something you won’t want to miss! Headlining the show is none other than the beloved ’90s alt-rock band, Everclear. Known for their catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics, they have given us hits like “Santa Monica” and “Father of Mine” over their extensive career. With 11 studio albums and 12 Top 40 hits under their belt, Everclear has made quite a mark in the music world.
Leading the charge is Art Alexakis, the frontman of the band who has an inspiring personal story as well. Celebrating an impressive 35 years of sobriety, he knows all too well the importance of recovery and the role of community support in that journey. It’s not just a concert; it’s an opportunity for people to come together and shed light on a critical issue.
A Cause Worth Caring About
Substance abuse is a major concern in the Midlands area, affecting countless families and communities. Unfortunately, it’s a struggle that many people face, and the resources available for those in recovery often need more backing. That’s where LRADAC, which stands for the Lexington/Richland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council, steps in. Their mission is to provide lifesaving services for people affected by substance misuse, helping them regain control of their lives and providing support to families in need.
The proceeds from the Rock 4 Recovery concert will go directly toward LRADAC’s programs. By attending, you are not just enjoying a night of fabulous music but also ensuring that vital resources remain available for those who are on the long road to recovery.
What to Expect
So, what can concert-goers expect on the night of the event? In addition to the electrifying performance from Everclear, attendees will also have the chance to engage with community members, share stories, and uplift one another. The atmosphere is going to be filled with energy, compassion, and a sense of collective purpose. It’s a great way to meet new friends who share similar passions and values.
Plus, being held at the beautiful Icehouse Amphitheater adds to the overall experience. Nestled in Lexington, this outdoor venue provides a perfect backdrop for an evening of music and camaraderie, surrounded by nature and the vibrant fall colors.
