About Rochester Rock Brigade

Rochester Rock Brigade is a passionate, grassroots community dedicated to supporting live, local music across Upstate and Western New York. For four years, we have stood behind the bands, venues, and fans that keep the regional rock scene alive and thriving.

Founded and led by Dawn Aurore, Rochester Rock Brigade was built on a simple belief: local music matters. The Brigade champions homegrown talent, promotes live shows, and creates a welcoming space where music lovers can connect, discover new artists, and celebrate the raw energy of live rock.

More than a group, Rochester Rock Brigade is a movement. It amplifies local voices, fuels collaboration, and reminds our community that the heart of rock music beats strongest on local stages. As we celebrate four years of music, memories, and momentum, the mission remains the same: support the bands, show up loud, and keep local rock alive!
