ππΈ Get ready to time travel back to the '80s on April 27 for an electrifying afternoon at our '80s concert and dance battle! Dust off those leg warmers, slap on some neon, and channel your inner rock star! π Let's relive the vibrant spirit of the decade while jammin' for a cause-fighting neurofibromatosis, a rare condition that affects so many lives.
Join us for a night packed with awesome tunes and cheer on your favorite dancer-admission is free with a suggested donation of $10 or more (think of it as your ticket to groove and give back)! π€ππΊ
Timeless vibes await! Arrive early to grab a bite from tasty food trucks and get your dance moves ready for a special performance by Stone Lotus from 4-6 PM. And don't forget to bid for some fantastic prizes at our auction!
Docs Rock for NF isn't just another concert; it's a mission sparked by a powerful chat between Dr. Herbert Newton, a Neuro-Oncologist, and Kim Bischoff, the hero behind the Neurofibromatosis (NF) Network, to pump up crucial funds for neurofibromatosis research and support!
Oh, and by the way, our fabulous concert-"Docs Rock for NF"-pays homage to our talented band Stone Lotus, made up of some serious medical minds! Their motto, "Your Brain on Peace, Love, and Music," expresses their commitment to using their musical superpowers to support charitable causes related to neuro issues and cancer.
So come dance your heart out and join us in making a difference while having a totally tubular time! Let's rock this party! πΆβ¨
Stone Lotus was formed in late 2017 with musicians from several well-known central FL bands (Running with Scissors, The Mob), as well as a popular band from central Ohio (Grey Matter). Stone Lotus fuses five decades of classic rock, blues, and contemporary tunes for your audio pleasure. With over 100 years of combined musical experience, Stone Lotus has developed a stage show that draws in the audience through its diverse set lists and crowd interaction. They are a female-lead singer driven band that has significant versatility, including harmonies and lead vocal contributions from several of "the boys". Stone Lotus is a hard-driving band that loves to play classic rock (e.g., Allman Brothers Band, Pink Floyd, Boston, Jefferson Airplane, Free, Guns 'n Roses), but can also mix it up with other musical genre's such as 80's dance hits.
