EL PASO, Texas (PRWEB) May 31, 2019
The “Rudolph Auto Group-State Line BBQ Free Live Music Series” continues this year with live performances from bands offering a showcase of music from rockabilly to traditional country--and everything in between. Now in its 13th year, the series will again benefit the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank and is sponsored by and held at The State Line, 1222 Sunland Park Dr., El Paso, TX 79922.
The no-admission-fee music concerts are held every Wednesday night from 8 - 10 p.m., ending on August 21, 2019. Concerts are held rain or shine. Drink specials run Monday through Friday from 3 p.m.-7:30 p.m. NOTE: guests must be 21 years or older (or accompanied by a parent) to attend concerts.
All who attend are asked to make a food or monetary donation to the El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank. In 2018, the music series collected 667 pounds of food and $1,700 in monetary donations for the Food Bank. A total of 19,800 pounds of food has been collected over the past 12 years through the music series.
