T-Town Rocks Music Festival is July 29, at The Waterfront Venue at Narrows Marina. The event runs from 4 to 10 p.m. and features award-winning artists in the hip hop, country, and rock genres. Artists include DJ Jazzy Jeff, Tone Loc, Young MC, Wanz, Kid Sensation, Cromwell and local artist Aaron Crawford. Josh Pray, comedian, will be the event host for the evening. All proceeds from the festival will benefit local non-profits.

We are so grateful to our event sponsors for making this festival possible.”
