Rock the Ridge is a new summer kick-off event produced by Massanutten Technical Center Foundation and hosted by Massanutten Resort. With so many positive comments after last year’s event hosted at the school, MTC Foundation wanted to kick it up a notch and expand on the ever-popular Thunderstruck vibe. Thus, this new collaborative event was born.

Band Line Up

Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck | 7:30 - 9 PM
Massanutten Technical Center Foundation is excited to announce America's AC/DC Tribute Band, Thunderstruck, will be performing on Saturday, June 1, 2024. Thunderstruck gives fans so much more than the sound of AC/DC, they truly capture the high voltage energy and experience. For fans, it's about a sense of familiarity, and it's about a feeling that snatches up listeners and takes over. It's about a contagious kind of power and electricity that few AC/DC tribute bands can provide.

From Kyle LaPato's strong on-stage performance replicating the Angus Young of the 70's and 80's, to Bobby Lee Stamper's versatile vocals mimicking both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson ranges, to the incredible rhythm section made up of Kevin Feller on rhythm guitar, Corey Baetz on drums, and Chris Jones on bass, Thunderstruck gives a complete and consistently quality live show as true to the spirit of AC/DC that you can possibly get.

 

Nightrain

Nightrain | 5:30 - 7 PM
NIGHTRAIN'S Tribute show to Guns n Roses has been taking the US by storm for 14 years running. Performances have ranged from The House Of Blues, MTVs Famous Club LaVela, The FC Dallas Stadium, to this years Carolina Rebellion, sharing the bill with Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, & Buckcherry to name a few. Nightrain continues to make their stamp in today's ever growing Tribute Market.

The accurate vocals and hypnotic swaying of Axl both capture the audience’s attention from the first beat down to the last note. Slash’s classic riffs and perfect showmanship (and let’s not forget the top hat) will make everyone do a double take. However, Axl and Slash are only part of the show. The tight rhythm of Izzy, Duff, and Steven are the glue that keeps this true concert tribute together. This band’s vibrant stage presence and accuracy to everything about Guns N' Roses leaves the entire crowd pleased.

 

Kanye Twitty

Kanye Twitty | 4 - 5 PM
What kind of band is this? Is it a country band? A Rock band...Hip Hop...Pop or Party Band...It's all of these and it's nothing of the sort. It's Kanye Twitty. Labels are for clothing. This band is exactly what it should be; entertaining, fun and a flat-out good time. If you want to hear it, Kanye Twitty plays it and if they don't, just ask. Kanye Twitty is your favorite country, rock, hip hop mixtape...You deserve an excellent time. You deserve the best. You deserve Kanye Twitty.
