Rhythm On The Rock Music Festival �By The Youth For The Youth�

COURTNEY, BC � JULY 23RD, 2011, EXHIBITION GROUNDS - Lightburn Entertainment is excited to announce a dynamic event to attend in the Comox Valley this July; Rhythm on the Rock Music Festival. The festivals focus is to celebrate the incredible talent hailing from right here in the valley, and also the best of the country�s up and coming musicians. Headlining the festival is the Comox Valley�s own Head of the Herd who were just announced as coming top 3 in the 99.3 the Fox Seeds top rock bands contest! Joining them on the bill is our local valley talent, Luke blu Guthrie, Multi-Colored Mischief, Des Larson band, the Sunshine Coast�s Wilderness Crew, Regina Saskatchewan�s Northcote, Montreal�s bohemian pop songstress, Annie Becker and just last week at the Battle of the Bands contest at Simms Park, Fiftieth Parallel a two-piece band from Campbell river was awarded the opening spot at the festival for their amazing performance. This line up encompasses a variety of musical talent including rock, pop, reggae, hip hop, blue grass and folk, and promises to satisfy any festival attendee�s musical taste.

After helping produce last years one day spring festival with Current Swell and Tech 9 the organizers realized that there was room to produce a very youth focused festival, that show cases the younger talent emerging on the west coast. In accordance with that, the organizers are striving to make it as �green� a festival as possible, and have invited many of our local non-profits to attend, share information and spark discussion. It is a celebration of music, and also of the community and the beautiful place we live.

The Comox Valley community is joining hands with Lightburn Entertainment and Baird Entertainment to make this all ages festival a fantastic and memorable experience for everyone. With help from major sponsors such as 98.9 Jet Fm, Long and Mcquade, Roots the Salon, One Thirty Three Skate Shop, Sure Copy, What�s on Digest, Freshly Squeez'd Graphic Design, MyValley.ca, Union Street Grill, The Bridge Lounge, Alberni Outpost and Surf SUP this event has the support it needs to be the great success!
