Conservative Country Stars to 'Rock the Red' in Charlotte During DNC
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | 1 Aug 2012 | Madeleine McAulay

Posted on 08/02/2012 10:17:08 AM PDT by kingattax

As Democrats are preparing to bring the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to Charlotte, Conservatives are also planning an event all of their own in the North Carolina city. Some of the top country music artists have already signed up to play Rock the Red, a decidedly Right-friendly event.

Rock the Red is the Queen City’s alternative to the DNC. The event will be held Sept. 5 during the DNC at the Bojangles Coliseum. It will be an evening packed with top Conservative leaders and country artists.

The event’s director has confirmed that the Charlie Daniel’s Band, Travis Tritt, Lee Brice and Kelly Collins are among the stars ready to rock Charlotte.

The Family Research Council and the Heritage Foundation’s Values Bus will also be at the event to assist in registering voters and to spread the vital Conservative message to all of the attendees.

With ticket prices starting at just $25 this event is the perfect night out for families and Conservatives. A limited number of tickets without a TicketMaster fee are available if you act quickly. More information and speakers for Rock the Red event will be released within the next few weeks through the event’s Twitter, Facebook page and website.

Oooh. And “Aaaah!” I saw Travis Tritt at the San Antonio Stock Show, ‘long about 1990, and he’s still a cutie.

Good on them, but I fear that it will be ridiculed in the MSM if it’s given any play at all.

CFA should do exactly what they have been doing - sell chicken sandwiches. That is the beauty of what happened. CFA did exactly what they have been doing six days a week for what, 40 years?

Great idea.
But they really need Hank Jr. to make it perfect!

What isn’t ridiculed by the MSN if Conservatives are involved? It’s a great idea!

In Tampa, the left will have bums to be the alternative. The bums are the OWS morons called OCCUPY TAMPA.

I worked at a radio station in 1975. We thought about getting Hank to do a concert. He charged $3,500. We didn’t go through with it because we didn’t think we break even.

Hank Jr. used to be one of the great voices in country music - outstanding range, able to handle a variety of styles. He’s still very good, but hard living has worn down his voice a bit.

Hell, for conservatives to be ridiculed by the LSM, I consider a badge of honor. Nobody will boo a nobody. If one is taking flak form the LSM, they must be right on target.
