Master of Ceremonies

The Greenville RiverRock Festival is happy to have Skip Waters, Chief Meteorologist and news sensation from WCTI TV 12, as Master of Ceremonies and event host. Having spent the past twenty-four years in Eastern North Carolina, Skip has seen many musical styles come and go. With a friendly smile and eager eyes, he is excited to be involved with The Greenville RiverRock Festival and support the Magnolia Arts Center. With a passion for the weather and music, Skip will be doing a live remote broadcast for WCTI from the festival during the evening. RiverRock’s forecast, good times with a strong chance of rock!

What Is RiverRock

The Greenville RiverRock Festival is a free, day-long, live festival to support local music in the Greenville/Eastern North Carolina region. This festival will host a rare opportunity for all walks of life to set aside differences in age, gender and income and enjoy grassroots arts at its best. Scheduled for Saturday, September 9th, 2006 from 11AM to 9PM, The Greenville RiverRock Festival will be host to eight local musical acts and booths for local businesses to promote themselves.

RiverRock Mission

The Greenville/Eastern North Carolina region prides itself on diversity and talent in many areas. One of these talents is found in the wealth of musically inclined and emotionally invested artists in the area. Music is the universal language for communicating thoughts, ideas and feelings, succeeding where words and conversation fail. With the enormous amount of interest, talent and spirit found in the region, The Greenville RiverRock Festival aims to bring these talents together and allow ideas, thoughts and music to be formed within the City of Greenville.

Because of this mission and common interests in the Local Art and Music Community, as well as Greenville/Eastern North Carolina, the Magnolia Arts Center, Greenville's only comprehensive Arts Organization, has teamed up with The Greenville RiverRock Festival to make this event a successful and memorable experience. All proceeds, including donations, merchandise sales, after-party admission etc., will benefit Magnolia Arts Center and their passion for exposing the community to creativity, art and expression. Magnolia Arts Center is in the process of obtaining nonprofit status as a 501(c)(3) corporation. Donations are tax deductible and will be applied to the calendar year in which they are received.
