Rock band Everclear is set to headline the LRADAC Foundation’s 5th annual Rock 4 Recovery concert, presented by Dominion Energy. The event will take place on October 4 at the Icehouse Amphitheater in Lexington and aims to raise awareness about the power and healing of recovery from substance misuse.
All proceeds from the concert will support LRADAC’s programs and services, including financial assistance for individuals and families in need of treatment and recovery services.
Everclear, known for its three-decade career with 11 studio releases, over 6 million records sold, and 12 Top 40 hit singles, will bring its chart-topping hits like “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “I Will Buy You a New Life,” “Wonderful,” and “Everything To Everyone” to the stage.
Lead singer Art Alexakis, who has been sober for 35 years, expressed his pride in being part of a concert series that advocates for recovery. “I realize that I would not have been able to achieve what I’ve achieved both professionally and personally… if I was still using and drinking,” said Alexakis. “Being in a 12-step program has been a real blessing in my life, and I am very grateful for my sobriety.”
Keller Kissam, president of Dominion Energy South Carolina, emphasized the importance of organizations like LRADAC in the community. “Addiction in our community casts a darkness upon our families, our neighbors, and our friends. Thankfully, there are organizations like LRADAC that serve as a lighthouse… Dominion Energy is proud to partner with LRADAC as we illuminate the iconic Icehouse Amphitheatre in Lexington to celebrate the continued Rock for Recovery.”
The event will feature local food trucks offering snacks, dinners, and desserts. Gates open at 6:30 pm, with Everclear taking the stage at 8 pm. Tickets for Rock 4 Recovery are $30 and can be purchased at R4R24.eventbrite.com.
