Get ready to rock the boat and tip your glass back at the premiere of Rocktoberfest on October 7 at Craft and Draft Irmo from 5–9 pm.
It will be an evening of live music and community featuring a line-up of local musicians. In order of performance, artists include the CME Redtails, solo artist Khamani, Breakfast Beer, solo artist Julia Clark, and She Might Get Loud.
Rocktoberfest is organized by the University of South Carolina School of Music’s Music and Money class led by Jeremy Polley and Dr. Audra Vaz. The class teaches music majors the economies of nonprofit and for-profit organizations as they relate to the arts. The first half of the semester is dedicated to planning this event to raise money for the school’s Music Industry Studies (MIS) and Guitar programs.
The class is split into four teams: Marketing, Operations, Production and Sponsorship. All funds raised will be split between the two programs, with MIS’s share going straight into the enrichment fund that pays for students’ experiential learning experiences and bringing in guest speakers from the industry.
Craft and Draft Irmo is at 7583 St Andrews Road, Irmo. Tickets are available at https://tinyurl.com/bde48hjp – $7 for students, $12 adults, and $12 at the door. It’s free for children 12 and younger.
