United Way of Summit County’s annual Docs Who RockTM physician talent show will be held at The University of Akron’s E.J. Thomas Hall on Saturday, ‘Roctober’ 22, 2011 beginning at 7:00 pm. Docs Who Rock has become an entertainment and philanthropic phenomenon, providing local doctors an opportunity to showcase their musical talents and men and women a chance to see their physicians in a whole new light.
Because of growing interest from the region’s many talented musicians and singers, musical acts will be asked to submit an application and support materials by June 24, 2011 to United Way of Summit County, 90 N. Prospect Street, Akron, OH 44304. A committee of musical experts, led by Docs Who Rock co-founder Dr. Terry Gordon, will select participating artists based on the information and materials available to them, so the applications should contain as much of the following as possible: current CD, audio and/or video tapes; press reviews/articles; posters/flyers; and a one-paragraph description of the group or artist.
As in the past, musical acts must have at least one member who is a Doctor (M.D. or D.O.) and who lives or practices in Summit County. Solo acts are also welcome, and all musical styles are encouraged to apply
United Way of Summit County President Bob Kulinski said, “This show continues to evolved and improve each year. Last year’s winning act was Dr. Todd Beyer and Meleah Backhaus, who performed a beautiful classical piano piece. They certainly expanded the definition of what it means to ‘Rock,’ just like seeing their doctors in this very different setting has helped many people redefine their doctor/patient relationship.”
