Organizations like the Urban Ministry Center in Charlotte make an attempt to deter poverty, educate young adults on the realities of this problem and help those who are currently suffering these conditions. They offer food, shelter and medical aid among other things to those in need. With the aid of the Georgia-based organization Poverty is Real, the two organizations have come together to form a battle of the bands. The event will be held to raise awareness and gather donations to further the Urban Ministry Center’s efforts to help end poverty, one life at a time.

Performing on Saturday, April 19 at the Double Door Inn – eight bands will battle it out on stage, covering their favorite tracks by either the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. The show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are available for $12 in advance on the Double Door website or $16 at the door.

Bands already signed up to compete include School of Rock Charlotte, Reeve Coobs, Dead End Parking, Little District, Yaddatu and Toleman Randall. Support the fight against poverty while enjoying a spectacular show of classic rock and roll. For more information, visit Poverty is Real and Urban Ministry Center.
