International Women’s Day is this Sunday, and the lady rockers of Hull and surrounding towns are kicking it off Saturday night from 7 p.m. to midnight with the Second Annual Rosie’s Rock Fest, an evening of music and community that’s sure to be a great time for a great cause.

Net proceeds from this year’s event will once again go toward covering costs of producing the Hull PorchFest music festival each September, and HPF is incredibly grateful to the wonderful musicians who are donating their time and talent.

This year’s event organizers welcome the addition of the Women of WSU, namely Fran Araujo, Laura Sinclair, Colleen Patterson, Sue Prindeville, Cindy Adams, and Nancy Zappolo. All are regulars in Whoever Shows Up (WSU), the bluegrass circle that plays year-round on Tuesday nights at Daddy’s Beach Club.

Other groups rounding out the stellar lineup: Ruth & Mike (featuring Ruth Steele), The Cold Ones (featuring Katie Lovett), Good Sleeping Weather (featuring Sara Pearson), The Pitfalls (featuring Lindsey Buck), and Thirsty Boots (featuring Liz Woodard).

Jo’s Nautical Bar was filled to capacity for last year’s inaugural Rosie event, so getting $10 tickets in advance through the C-Note website (cnotehull.com) is recommended. Or you can pick up $15 tickets on the night of the event. Cash only for tickets at the door and full bar; ATM on site.

Please note that no food is sold at the C-Note, but you’re welcome to bring what you like. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
