HARRY STOUT ROCKS


“Harry Stout Rocks” (HSR) is a cause inspired by Harry’s love of live music. An aspiring bass player, Harry would often attend his father’s band practices and helped out as a “roadie” whenever the opportunity came about. Harry also played trumpet in the Middle School Band.

HSR is devoted to providing the joy of live music to school programs in South West Michigan who are facing budget cuts and financial challenges. With the support of our sponsors, particularly RIT Music, WZUU/WQXC, and Blue Crescent Digital we are able to provide schools in a four county region with thousands of dollars of new musical gear for their music programs!

It brings us great joy to know these musical instruments and equipments will positively impact generations of students for years to come. Harry loved music and he loved people even more and it is our truest hope that the contributions by “Harry Stout Rocks” inspire others to do the same.
