     "Thursday's concert features seven premier artists who will absolutely rock the house," said  r o c k f o r e v e r . c o m  Manager Charlie Schmitt. "The show is nothing but hits. This specific concert will also be unique as we're taping it live for use in our upcoming digital album release that will be released for Christmas.
