History

americanrockstar has been hosting Rock the Halls since 2002 (skipping only three years). The annual Christmas tradition debuted at the Odeon Concert Club, where it was held twice. After the Odeon closed, the show found a new home at Cleveland’s famous Peabody’s. After several years there, we’re excited to announce that on December 17, 2011 Rock the Halls 7 will take place at a new venue: the legendary Outpost Concert Club in Kent!

Details

This year, our co-headliners will be BONK, who will be releasing their new, self-titled CD (produced by americanrockstar’s Dallas Riffle) at the show. We will be announcing three more bands to complete the lineup soon.

In addition, we are planning to revive our charity raffle, which will benefit the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. In exchange for a prize donation, local businesses will be allowed to set up a small promotional table at the venue the night of the show.

Those attending the show will receive one raffle ticket for each can of food donated. Attendees may also purchase tickets for $1 each. Raffle tickets will then be placed in the hopper(s) for any prizes the holder is interested in. The show’s emcee will draw and announce winners between bands during the show.

Local businesses are encouraged to participate! Please email contact us at americanrockstar1 [at] gmail.com or contact us through http://www.facebook.com/americanrockstar if you are interested.
