Nashville musicians have banded together to raise money and collect needed food for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

The event, dubbed "Rock the Harvest" will take place on June 14th at the Exit/In, 2208 Elliston Place in Nashville. Admission to the event will be a donation of $5.00 or five cans of food.

Performers on the bill include five time Grammy-winner, Roy "Futureman" Wooten; Chauffeur Records/Fontana artist Red Carpet Rats; the hugely popular experimental pop, rock and hip-hop outfit, Knapsackheroes!; Auggie & the Strangers in Paradise, Robert Gay, Kissing Robots and a few surprise guests.

"The band was actually out of town when the flood happened and could only view the events on TV," recalls Uni Pereira of Red Carpet Rats. "However what struck me was watching the resiliency of the residents of Nashville in how quickly and effectively they responded to this tragic event. It's an honor to be involved in a relief effort such as this."

The June 14th show begins at 7pm and all ages are welcome. Admission is $5.00 or five cans of Food. Tickets will be available at the door. For more information call 615-712-9341.
