About the Artists
Headlining the music at 8pm on Saturday night is an artist many of you will recall: LEE ROCKER of The Stray Cats. Lee Rocker made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning and rocking his
giant upright bass as a founding member of the Grammy nominated music group The Stray
Cats. With their signature rockabilly swing style, The Stray Cats sold over 10 million
albums, garnered 23 gold and platinum certified records, and were music video pioneers
of the MTV. The Stray Cats’ worldwide mega hits “Stray Cat Strut," “Sexy and Seventeen”
and “Rock this Town” have become a part of the fabric of rock and roll. The Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame has included “Rock this Town” as one of the 500 most important songs
in rock.
"Opening" for Lee Rocker's band will be Socorro's finest bands, on both the Plaza
and Capitol Bar stages, to include faves such as The Murillos, Blue Monday, Fuzzy
Logic, Fullish Professors, Suavecito, Flat Note Society and much more!
