“The Rockport Music Festival is going to showcase not only some of the best in Texas country and blues, but some California spice thrown in to finish the whole thing off. Many of our artists have collaborated in the past so there is a good chance for some joint performances – all in this beautiful new outdoor venue right along the water. It’s the perfect combination and one event not to forget,” exclaims organizer Capt. Tommy Moore.
The Rockport Music Festival is a member-based event designed to bring Texas and national acts to one of the most beautiful places on the Coastal Bend. Food and beverages will benefit the Aransas County EMS.
