A Massive Night Of Rock Set To Take Over The Cannery For Make-A-Wish Mississippi August 20th

 

It’s going to be an epic night for a great cause Saturday, August 20th, 2022 at The Cannery Bar N’ Grill in Biloxi, MS, when six awesome bands come together for a Massive Night Of Rock to benefit Make-A-Wish Mississippi. There is no set admission price – donations at the door are requested and all of the money will go to Make-A-Wish and will specifically benefit children on the Mississippi Coast.

This event, presented by Massive Media, is being sponsored by The Sound 228, IN the PIT, Spade Image, “The Southern Flame” Dawn McIntyre, The Loud Spot With Sebastian, ROCK LAB TV, J. Eagle Audio, and Crescent City Gumbo. The excitement starts at 5:00pm CST. For those who can’t be there but would like to donate, the link can be found at the bottom of this story.



According to Matt Savner, who has been on the Board for Make-A-Wish Mississippi for five years, an average wish can cost anywhere between $7,000 and $12,000. The children who benefit are battling life-threatening illnesses, and most have to apply through their doctors. Wishes can include going on a special trip, such as Disney World, getting an RV, being a firefighter for a day, getting a generator so medical devices will continue to work in a power outage, getting a waterproof beach chair, or getting a puppy. There are currently over 50 children waiting for a wish. Savner says besides the wish itself, it's really all about the experience and having some unforgettable moments of pure happiness that makes a huge impact on the children and their families.






Rock lovers in attendance at this event will be treated to great music by six bands who are excited to be a part of this important cause. The bands include Saturate, Awaken The Giant, Relevant Saints, NVision, Project Nine, and The Blend. These bands are well known throughout the Gulf Coast rock music scene and no doubt will put on memorable performances on this special night.

Incognito Theory The Brotherhood Rage Breed Records Global UK International Album review by Annie Schlottman September 12th, 2022 New Jersey hard rock band Incognito Theory dropped an 11-song, full-length album, The Brotherhood , September 2nd, 2022. It's a perfect reflection of the band's self-described musical style of "top shelf whiskey-grooving rock and roll". Incognito Theory signed with Rage Breed Records Global International UK almost two years ago. The band includes David Incognito (frontman/lyricist/founder); Steve Bloodgood (lead guitar/backing vocals); Jay Brachman (bass/backing vocals); and John Mosco (drums/backing vocals). If you had to fit Incognito Theory into a genre, it would be Southern hard rock with hints of classic rock mixed with groove metal. Special guests on The Brotherhood were guitarist Dave Crum of Big Bang Baby and bassist Mike LePond of Symphony X and Mike LePond's Silent Assassins. The executive producer of the album was Danzig

A Review Of “Push Away” By THEM GUYS Written by Annie Schlottman Let me start by saying how fortunate I feel to have found this awesome band, THEM GUYS.   I live in Pennsylvania, but about a year and a half ago I started developing connections with a lot of bands on the Gulf Coast, especially Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.   THEM GUYS became one of those bands.   I quickly realized how special they are.   Not only are they a fantastic rock band, they are also some of the nicest people in the Gulf Coast music scene. They support other bands and are amazing with their fans.   People are drawn to their magnetism, which makes their shows spectacular. THEM GUYS is a band from South Louisiana made up of four friends who are more like brothers and have the same music vision. The band includes:   Nick Oubre (lead vocals/rhythm guitar); Anthony Green (lead guitar/backing vocals); John Waguespack (bass/backing vocals); and Chet Tabor (drums/percussion/backing vocals).
