Popular “Rock Fore Dough” concert celebrates 20th anniversary

EVANS, Ga (WJBF)- Columbia County will see its share of heavier than usual traffic Tuesday night. That’s because tonight is the 20th Anniversary Rock Fore Dough concert.

This year’s headliner is Cole Swindell along with Randy Houser, Tyler Reeve, and local favorite Black Dawg. And of course DJ Rock will keep the party going all night.

We’ve got all kinds of– kids have inflatables to play on, all the ice creams and fun stuff going on. There’s always music. DJ Rock, so in between sets, he’s spinning tunes, so you’re never kind of just sitting around,” sadi Emily Stevenson, Owner of Gluestick Music.
