Buffalo’s #1 morning show, 97 Rock’s Shredd & Ragan, is paying tribute to Canada’s #1 band on Saturday, September 6!
The Great American Rush Off is a tribute project to one of the greatest rock bands of all time and a chance to give back by raising money for The Neil Peart Memorial at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie, St. Catharine’s, Neil’s hometown.
A creative team concept is in place to erect two larger-than-life-sized bronze sculptures of Neil Peart. It will be connected by a pathway offering experiential and interpretive features highlighting Peart’s personal and professional legacies, including his time with Rush.
In efforts to make an even bigger impact, we are holding the Rush Off on Saturday, September 6 at Sportsmen’s Tavern.
Tickets start at $21.12(+online fees) and VIP tickets are $50(+online fees). VIP gets you your first drink free and special seating near the main stage for Analog Kids.
Gates open at 3pm
Showtime: 4pm-9pm
Shredd & Ragan are seeking bands both local and national to submit Rush cover songs. The tracks will be part of a compilation curated by Shredd & Ragan with proceeds benefitting the Neil Peart Memorial.
