Amare's Rockin' for Recovery: Presented by Bickle Electric Heating & Cooling, Co.

About this event

Join us in welcoming the much-anticipated return of Amare's iconic event in 2023, with the generous support of Bickle Electric Heating & Cooling Contracting Co. from Edwardsville, Illinois. Prepare to be captivated by the electrifying live concert and engaging regional community affair, none other than Rockin' for Recovery (R4R), making its triumphant fourth-year appearance in the heart of St. Louis Metro-East.

As the sun sets, a symphony of free-spirited revelry awaits on the lush green lawns, where you can secure your spot with complimentary lawn seats (general admission). This year, we're thrilled to introduce Dry Clean Only, making their R4R debut, followed by the legendary Alton ensemble, Hideous Gentleman. Brace yourself for their edgy and funky guitar-driven melodies, including their unforgettable original track, "Rain Dance Shake."

The stage will further ignite as the renowned Fortunate Son: A Tribute to CCR pays homage to Fogerty's classics, while the crowning glory of the night belongs to none other than Desperado: A Tribute to The Eagles. These musical virtuosos, led by their dynamic renditions of Joe Walsh, Don Henley, and their talented cohorts, promise an electrifying climax that's a perfect crescendo to the evening. Their boundless energy is a fitting addition to the R4R experience, catering to the rock-n-roll enthusiasts of all eras.

But R4R isn't just about the music; it's an immersive celebration that unites our vibrant community. Embrace the culinary delights of local food trucks such as Woodson BBQ, Takozz, and Cake Pop A Go-Go. The kiddos are in for a treat with Gateway Bounce from Caseyville, IL, providing delightful bounce houses. For those seeking unique finds, explore the R4R vendor market, or peruse through organization and resource booths dedicated to your well-being.

Amidst the melodies and merriment, three inspiring speakers will grace the stage, sharing their stories to illuminate the importance of recovery, a journey accessible to all – individuals, families, and communities alike.

Your presence at R4R is more than just a memorable experience; it's a contribution to a noble cause. Every dollar raised will empower Amare to extend invaluable recovery support services, touching the lives of individuals, families, and communities across the Illinois Riverbend and metro-east regions.

This extraordinary event would not be possible without the support of our esteemed sponsors: Bickle Electric Contracting Co., Laboratory Growth & Productivity (LGP) Consulting, Inc., Advanced Wiring Solutions, SHC Foundation, Metro East Recovery Council (MERC), Aviary, Sana Lake, Logo It (Alton, IL), My Mix 94.3 FM, FCB Banks, Gateway Foundation, and Oxford Inc.
