Put the kids in their bathing suits, bring your blankets and lawn chairs, and prepare yourselves for a great afternoon of music!<br />
<br />
On the bill we have Short in the Sleeve, Buckles & Boots, and The Sheiks.<br />
<br />
Parking on the north end of the Island is free (enter from Harbor Town). Give yourself 15-20 minutes to get to the south end. Feel free to use strollers, wagons, bikes, etc. to facilitate getting the little ones to the show. You must be on the Island by 4pm. (Be at monorail by 3:30pm.) The park officially closes at 5pm and the last tram to the east side leaves at 5:15pm. Please plan accordingly.<br />
<br />
If your kids want to play in the fountains, please keep an eye on them. There is no lifeguard on duty. We will have volunteers keeping an eye out, but parents are responsible for their children.<br />
<br />
There's also a great bluff for sliding down, so bring some cardboard.<br />
<br />
We will have Central BBQ, Tom's Tiny Kitchen Pimento Cheese, fruit from Whole Foods Market & Yuengling beer, free of charge, while supplies last. (Feel free to bring your own snacks and a cooler--no alcohol allowed--if you prefer. Food and beverages are also for sale on the island.)<br />

<br />
The compilation features up-and-coming artists Mark Edgar Stuart, James and the Ultrasounds, American Fiction and Myla Smith alongside scene stalwarts Al Kapone, Snowglobe, Pezz, Vending Machine and the Grifters’ Dave Shouse. Even recently reformed Memphis punk godfathers the Modifiers contribute a track to the eclectic mix.<br />
<br />
“It’s a great snapshot of our music scene, which is what families get when they come to Rock-n-Romp throughout the year,” said Rock-n-Romp board member Jeff Hulett, who curated the album, contributed a song of his own and played on the Slowglobe track. “The comp is just another way for parents to stay connected to the vital music that’s coming out of our city. Now they’ve got something to jam to in the minivan.”<br />
<br />

The Rock-n-Romp Comp will first be available at the Nov. 1 Rock-n-Romp in Overton Park’s Greensward, near the Rainbow Lake playground.

The show will run from 2 to 5 p.m. with Marcella and Her Lovers, the Maître D’s and Triceratops set to perform. Adults must be accompanied by children to attend. Each show features three bands, free Central BBQ and Whole Foods snacks for everyone, plus free beer for adults.<br />

We are so excited to announce that we have partnered with Whole Foods to bring you Rock-n-Chomp!<br />
<br />
Rock-n-Chomp will be a mini Rock-n-Romp located at Whole Foods Market the third Tuesday of each month. There will be a family friendly concert by local musicians followed by a healthy snack. Best part? It is free for all. <br />
<br />
Today was the first show, featuring <a href="http://www.calebsweazy.com/music">Caleb Sweazy</a>. Caleb is an amazing musician, awesome dad, and Rock-n-Romp board member, among other things.<br />

This is always one of our favorite spots to romp. Saturday was just a picture-perfect day-- clear skies, temps in the mid 70s. Add to that three great bands, some gourmet beer, some of the best barbecue in the city, some of the best pizza in the city, and healthy snacks from Whole Foods, and you have a pretty perfect day.</span><br />

The <a href="http://www.midsouthmaze.com/">Mid-South Maze</a> will give the following discounts: Maze admission-$4/adult and $2/kid, 5 and under free. The Jumping Pillow will be $2/person and you can jump all you want. Identify yourself as a Rock-n-Romper when paying and they will give you the appropriate discount.<br />
<br />
The Maze takes about an hour, so we ask that you come early or stay late. The Jumping Pillow is adjacent to the bands, so kids can enjoy it during the show. (It is supervised.)<br />
<br />
We look forward to seeing you!<br />

<br />
First up was <a href="http://hannastar.com/">Hanna Star</a>. Her songwriting and voice are waaaaay beyond her years. She also had a stellar band, full of RnR/Memphis music vets: Alicja Trout, T-Money and Paul Taylor. Really nice tunes-- I think Hanna has a bright future.<br />

<b>We ask each adult to donate $5 at the door to cover our venue, music, & sound costs. Feel free to bring a blanket or chair and a snack to share. Adults must be accompanied by children.</b><br />
<br />
Bridges will have the climbing wall open, but there is a $5 charge per climb or $10 unlimited climbing. Adults will not be allowed to climb if after drinking MORE THAN ONE beer, so plan accordingly. Everyone who wishes to climb will also need to sign a waiver.

We love having Rock-n-Romp at Rhodes College. They are very gracious hosts and on Sunday they gave us the run of Oak Alley and Buckman Hall. In addition to the really fantastic, we had fantastic weather. All we needed was a TV! The Grizz were in the playoffs and well, we decided to accommodate our fans so that no one would have to make the decision between Rock-n-Romp and the Grizz! Carly from the Grizzlies even came out and helped us cheer on the team.</div>

Turns out the game was sort of a bust, which was a bummer for Grizz Nation, but a bonus for us. We had some music to enjoy! Nancy Apple got us started with her brand of folk/twang rocking. She also wins the award for getting the most people to dance at a show ever!</div>

Our second act was the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MemphisGrizzline">Grizzlies Drum Line</a>. They really energized our crowd with awesome drum routines and choreography. You may have seen these guys at Grizz games, but they're even better when they have more time to put on a show.<br />

Our final band was the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wuvbirds">WuvBirds</a>, featuring two more of our multi-talented board members, Kate & Corey Crowder. We love their outfits almost as much as their music. They bring the fun of 1950s pop to a new generation!</div>

We are thrilled to have Mud Island River Park sponsor our opening show for the third year in a row! We'll be in the grove by the concession stand and fountains on the south end of the Island. Put the kids in their bathing suits, bring your blankets and lawn chairs, a <b>snack to share</b>, and prepare yourselves for a great afternoon of music!<br />
<br />
We have so much music for you! On the bill we have the Jeremy Shrader Hot Five, The Grizzlies Drum Line, Jeff Hulett's One Man Band and the Wuvbirds!<br />
<br />
Parking on the north end of the Island is free (enter from Harbor Town). Give yourself 15-20 minutes to get to the south end. Feel free to use strollers, wagons, bikes, etc. to facilitate getting the little ones to the show. You must be on the Island by 4pm.<br />
<br />
If your kids want to play in the fountains, please keep an eye on them. There is no lifeguard on duty. We will have volunteers keeping an eye out, but parents are responsible for their children.<br />
<br />
There's also a great bluff for sliding down, so bring some cardboard.<br />
<br />
We will have generously donated Central BBQ and Tom's Tiny Kitchen Pimento Cheese while supplies last. Please only go through the line once. We will have a few kegs of Yeungling too, free for adults.<br />
<br />
Pretty good deal, right?<br />
<br />
We ask that each adult donate $5. Kids are free.<br />
<br />
We will also have new t-shirts with that kickass design you see up top on sale for $15!<br />
<br />
