Memorial Day Weekend Rocks with Kimberly Dawn & Six Gun Sal to Support Veterans - First Annual Run for the Rite” Festival & Night of Southern Rock.

 By Laura Medina



This Memorial Day Saturday rocked with Kimberly Dawn and Six Gun Sal.

As one of the few live in-house rock concerts emerging out of COVID-19 quarantine, folks were ready to rock and party!

Memorial Day weekend brings Six Gun Entertainment and the Scottish Rite Organization’s first annual Run for the Rite and A Night of Southern Rock on Saturday, May 29. The all-day festival benefits nonprofits that work with homeless and disabled veterans, including the American Soldier Networks, Tickets for Troops, and One World Media. 

The day kicks off at one of three Harley-Davidson locations in SoCal (Antelope Valley at 8 a.m. Harbor City at 9 a.m. or Los Angeles at 10 a.m.). From there, bikers head to the Scottish Rite Event Center in Long Beach for food, vendors, beer, live local music, a raffle of a gorgeous Michael Kelly Guitar, and other festivities starting at 11:30 a.m. The event opens with the National Anthem and a Salute to our American Soldiers. The day culminates in A Night of Southern Rock, featuring Six Gun Sal (Southern Rock), country singer Kimberly Dawn, and Scott Gronsky (Soul Bluegrass). 

Rising stars in music and fashion showed up...


Singer-songwriter, Simon Lunch and...

During a break, former Navy SEAL, Jason Tuschen introduced an Iraqi translator who the US Navy Seals helped saved and moved to the US, Code Name: Johnny Walker and his family out of Iraq.  Jason espouse the virtues of Martin Luther King, based on good deeds and good character.

Then, Six Gun Sal hit the stage again.
