BRIDGEPORT, PA — The iconic Bridgeport Ribhouse (1049 Ford St., Bridgeport, PA) is, once again, hosting its highly-anticipated “Ribstock” charity concert on Sunday, February 18 at 1 PM to benefit several local causes. Currently in its 13th year, the event will support the Bridgeport Little League, Norristown’s Expressive Path, a non-profit organization committed to enriching, educating, and inspiring adolescents by providing resources in the areas of theater, dance, music, humanities and the visual arts, the Upper Merion Community Cupboard, a food pantry open to anyone who lives within the bounds of the Upper Merion Area School District and is hungry or food insufficient, and the Adam Ferraioli Fund, which is raising money for the family of the recently deceased Get The Led Out drummer.
The Ribhouse is also organizing a collection of gently-used musical instruments, which will be donated to the Eisenhower Middle School Music Program in Norristown.
The 13th “Ribstock” will feature performances by some of the area’s best artists including: Mostly Harmless, Stone Attic, Former Strangers, Nat Attack, Hot Sauce Junkies, Old School, Basic Cable, Pure Jerry, and Paul Hammond & Friends (featuring Paul Hammond and Eddie Kurek from Get The Led Out and Brian Quinn from Candlebox).
