Late One Night, Jake Luhrs, lead vocalist for hard rock band August Burns Red, Sat Outside The Chicago House Of Blues…

Stories of addiction, depression, self-harm, heartache, war, fear, and hopelessness echoed in his mind.

Every night, a fan would share a different story.

Although Jake was the well-recognized frontman of the world-famous metal band, August Burns Red, he was at a loss for how to help.

He wasn’t a mental health specialist and he screamed into a mic for a living. Not exactly the picture of expertise his fans needed.

Deep in thought and prayer, all Jake knew was…

Something Had To Change.

 

 

HeartSupport is more than a charity, it is a community of people who simply want to help each other. It is a group of people who accept and support each other as they are. They connect online and in-person to encourage and build relationships.

It’s easy to get started. Just visit https://www.heartsupport.com/

 

 

This weekend, the very first HeartSupport Fest will take place in Orlando, Florida. August Burns Red and some of their musical friends will take over the Central Florida Fairgrounds on February 18 & 19, 2023. Rise Against and Parkway Drive will headline an absolutely blockbuster, can’t miss lineup that includes The Ghost InsideDance Gavin Dance, Spirit BoxAugust Burns Red, Underoath, Four Year Strong, Senses Fail, Currents, SilversteinMemphis May FireThe Devil Wears PradaHawthorne HeightsComeback KidThe Word Alive, Bleed From WithinHarms Way, ’68He Is LegendBloodlines, Silent Planet, and Prison.

“Our mission with HeartSupport Fest is not to recreate the festival experience, but to bring the self-care and self-love conversation to the forefront of the festival community by creating a space that promotes active dialogue around challenges that we all face, as musicians, fans, and everything in between,” says Luhrs. “I’m beyond excited to announce we will be hosting a music festival to benefit HeartSupport and the community! Having the opportunity to host a mission-based music festival with some of my favorite fellow musicians is an absolute dream come true. Our goal with HeartSupport fest is to create a high-energy festival experience that highlights our core values of diversity, acceptance, inclusion, self-love and self-care, and mental health as priority.”

The 5th annual Blue Ridge Rock Festival took place in Alton, Virginia on September 8 – 11, 2022. Day 3 was a wet one, with a slow and steady rain throughout most of the day and into the night. Thankfully there were no lightning storms forcing evacuations, which has seemed to plague so many outdoor rock festivals.

Once again, there were too many bands playing too many stages, and the concert you missed was probably as good as the concert you saw.

Starset ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Between dodging raindrops and hiding under stages protecting my camera equipment, I was able to capture Butcher Babies, Adelitas Way, Powerman 5000, Mushroomhead, Starset (both acoustic and electric headliner set, complete with pyro and fireworks), Motionless In White, Skillet and Tenacious D featuring Kyle Gass and Jack Black.

Skillet ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

The show I didn’t see included The Dead Daisies, Crowbar, Upon A Burning Body, The Word Alive, Apocalyptica, Black Veil Brides, Ice Nine Kills, Queensryche, From Ashes To New, God Forbid, Thrice, Pierce The Veil, Gwar, Pennywise, I Prevail and Slipknot.

Mushroomhead ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Sion (featuring Howard Jones) and Lacuna Coil (featuring Cristina Scabbia) were late scratches, and unfortunately did not perform.

Despite days of exhaustion, muddy grounds and soaked clothing, the crowd never let up on their passion and physicality.

Rainy Fans ©2022 Johnnie Crow Photos

Tickets and campsites are already selling well for next year, proving that die hard metal fans will endure anything to experience the power of live music, and the feeling of connecting with other people who are just as mental about metal as they are.

Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2022 has announced their full lineup and daily schedules, and we cannot wait for this event to start its engines. With the world-class lineup in place, plans for the new venue at Virginia International Raceway are taking shape. Ghost, Mudvayne, Slipknot and Disturbed are the main headliners on Thursday through Sunday, September 8-11, 2022, with a bonus Wednesday night event featuring Puddle Of Mudd. This time around, you won’t have to worry about miles of walking and figuring out which artists you will miss. There will be two main stages, side by side, without overlapping of major bands.
