What is the Rock City Project?
The Rock City Project consists of a music album and a concert festival in Sheffield, Ohio on July 26-27, 2013.

The Rock City compilation album CD is sold at local retail outlets, by participating bands and artists at their shows, and online. All net proceeds benefit our partner charities.
