BlackRock Rocks is a Bridgeport based production organization comprised of local musicians, artists and avid supporters of both. It's the party with the purpose! Over the past several years BRR has worked together to sponsor our annual Mardi Gras fundraising event. The success of these efforts has raised more than $15,000 for the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, The Higher Ground Fund, Tipitina's Foundation and Delfeayo Marsalis' Swinging with the Cool School. It is through the generous support of local venues, bands and sponsors that this is possible.
