“My old band was enthralled to participate in this event back in 2015,” said Guy Battaglia, Frontman of Idle Wave. “Rock ‘N Raise continues to be a great way to bring the local community together by raising funds for a great cause with the support of awesome local and national acts. We can’t wait to be part of the event’s biggest draw yet.” 

In addition, Idle Wave sold new t-shirts and continues to donate 100% of the profits to the American Cancer Society. All proceeds are dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. 

This year Triple Crown Record’s Oso Oso will be headlined the event. Their album opener “This Must Be My Exit” has over one million plays on Spotify. They recently finished up a tour with Hopeless Record’s The Wonder Years and Have Mercy and headed out this summer with Citizen and Knuckle Puck for another US tour.
