southern girls rock & roll camp showcase

if the southern girls rock & roll camp is lucky, it may garner some well-deserved national attention as a footnote in the rise of nashville band those darlins. rolling stone magazine, the new york times, no depression, pitchfork, usa today, and plenty of other national media outlets have picked up on the all-girl band (it's punk, it's rockabilly with attitude, it's grrrrl rock - depending on which one you read) and they're gaining new fans around the world every day.

darlins' bassist kelley darlin (anderson) is quick to point out the importance of the murfreesboro-based week-long camp that she founded to help girls put together rock bands in their hometowns and generally become more involved in music.

sgrrc 2009 begins july 27 and culminates with their annual talent showcase on august 1, so you can still clean up your calendar in time to see middle tennessee's newest talent. 10 bucks gets you in and goes to a great cause.
