Saturday's concert is the first of four planned this summer by the musicians. Here's the entire schedule:

Noon concert
Jesse Henry, of The Spikedrivers and Bradley Wright, of LiftMaster Garage Band Contest winner Nashville Crush - who are both Bluffton-natives, perform at noon.
Their concert is part of the the Shannon Theatre and The Heart of Rock Foundation "A Day Out At The Movies for Special Needs," held earlier on Saturday.
Several organizations from the special needs community will also be on hand to distribute information.
The Heart of Rock Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support organizations in the special needs community with their programing and events by connecting them with resources and volunteers.
The organization was founded by Bluffton-native and BHS grad, Shane Geisheimer, and was born out of an effort to create an event for the special needs community that has become to be known as The Heart of Rock and Roll Prom.
