10th Annual Rock-N-Hole Charity Golf Tournament and Concert
This is the 10th anniversary concert by famed Michigan guitarist/songwriter Kenny Olson, which follows a charity golf tournament hosted by Olson. Former lead guitarist for Kid Rock, Olson has performed and recorded with some of rock's biggest names, including Metallica, Aerosmith, Sheryl Crow, Chaka Khan, Run DMC and others. Fusing soulful, hard-hitting rock with blues and funk, Olson and special guests will offer music with appeal across generations and musical tastes.
Proceeds go to the Hallie's Hearts Endowment at the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, supporting women in northern Michigan impacted by ovarian cancer. The event honors Olson's late cousin, Hallie Olson Wastell, who did from the disease at age 44 in 2016. Concert-only tickets can be purchased for $30 the night of the show. Bring a lawn chair to ensure seating.
The golf tournament that precedes the concert is a scramble starting at 1 p.m. Registration is $550 for a foursome, or $150 per golfer. This covers 18 holes of golf, cart/green fees, lunch and dinner and one ticket to the show.
