The Frostburg State University Center for Literary Arts will hold the fourth annual Rock ’n’ Read Fundraiser on Sunday, April 10, from 2 to 7 p.m., at Dante’s, 14 W. Main St. in Frostburg, featuring bands, poets and an art show in which words and images are combined. Admission is $5 and the proceeds support programming at the Center for Literary Arts.

The event will feature musical performances by Lime Stone Connection, featuring Baltimore writers Holly Morse Ellington and Jason Tinney; Red Clover Ghost, which features writer-musicians the Cochram brothers; The Velvet Undertronic, an electronica band fronted by Dr. Greg Wood, FSU associate professor of history; and Ghost Halftones, a band composed of members of Codorus Press, playing a tribute to the music of R.E.M.

Poetry readings will be performed by Doug VanGundy, a musician and poet from West Virginia Wesleyan College; FSU’s Gerry LaFemina; and Christina Stroud, editor of Pittsburgh's Autumn House Press.

The fourth annual Word & Image Project will also be featured as part of Rock ’n’ Read. This art exhibition focuses on work that engages and/or is inspired by poems and includes work from regional artists who have incorporated text into their artwork.

The annual Rock ’n’ Read is sponsored by the FSU Center for Literary Arts. For information, contact the Center at cla@frostburg.edu or 301-687-4340.
