The two-night holiday season tradition is BACK!! The Old Rock House is proud to present Phillipalooza 2024. This local music festival and fundraiser returns to the Old Rock House for the 18th year on Friday December 6 and Saturday December 7 with unique and diverse lineups of local talent for each night. There’s something for everyone at Phillipalooza. There will also be a silent auction, raffle prizes, and a 50/50 raffle each night. 

Phillipalooza is a concert held in honor of local musician Phil Wright’s father Phillip. Phillip lost his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in 2006. The show is held every year in honor of his memory. A portion of the proceeds will go to support the ALS Association.

The "second line" has its roots in the traditional jazz funeral processions of New Orleans. Once the dearly departed was buried, the brass band would "cut the body loose" by playing uptempo, joyous music. As they marched, they would be joined by revelers who formed a line alongside and behind the band. This was known as the "second line."

The Funky Butt Brass Band was created in 2008 by six musicians who respect and revere the New Orleans brass band tradition. Made up of members of Gumbohead, The Feed, Musica Slesa, Bob Kuban's Everyday People and other St. Louis musical groups, the FBBB brings traditional New Orleans brass tunes and gives them a funky new flavor, in the style of the Dirty Dozen or Rebirth Brass Band. Don't be surprised if you also hear a little Motown, Southern rock, blues and some straight-ahead '70s funk. The Funky Butt Brass Band is guaranteed to get your toes tapping, your feet marching and kick any party into overdrive.
Made up of a group of veteran St. Louis musicians with years of experience performing and recording with some of the top bands in the region. The Scandaleros have played multiple festivals and events around the region and have shared the stage with some of the top talent in the area as well as national acts along the way.
Founded in the spring of 2012, The Service has come.
A new funk super group certain to groove you. Enjoy!
