Blue Dogs Announce 6th Annual Homecoming and 30th Anniversary Show
The Blue Dogs are coming back to Charleston Music Hall on Saturday, December 29th, 2018 to celebrate 30 years together. In that time, they have played more events for pediatric cancer than any other charity work. So, when they created their own annual event in 2013, they saw it as their chance to bring folks together to join in the fight to end pediatric cancer by raising funds for cutting-edge research—while also putting on a great night of music.
In 2016 & 2017 alone, they raised over $300,000, thanks to an amazing group of generous charity-minded sponsors and loyal music fans—along with The Press On Fund out of Augusta, GA, which provided a match for every dollar raised.
With their mission to cure childhood cancer within our lifetime, The Press On Fund will continue to work alongside the Blue Dogs and their sponsors to support the work of MUSC Associate Professor of Pediatrics Jacqueline M. Kraveka in the division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. Dr. Kraveka runs the ONLY pediatric oncology research lab in the state of South Carolina.
Ultimately, The Blue Dogs get to do what they do best: play music and celebrate! Over the five years so far, we have been fortunate to have as special guests many of our musical colleagues and heroes including Darius Rucker, Hootie and the Blowfish, Edwin McCain, Radney Foster, Drivin n Cryin, The Connells, Pat McGee, Uncle Mingo, Jupiter Coyote, The Killer Whales, and many more local and regional musicians we know and love. Each year there are unique collaborations and always a couple of last-minute surprises.
Our special guests this year will be announced on Labor Day weekend.
