Orlando-based rock group Social Ghost is certainly social but anything but invisible after touring with Alice in Chains in 2007, performing in the Warped Tour 2006 and winning a $25,000 Grammy Showcase contest in Florida. The band will be traveling to the Tri-State area to perform at the Carroll Creek Amphitheater in Frederick, Md., to raise money for the American Cancer Society on Saturday, June 28.
Social Ghost will be playing at the amphitheater as part of the Frederick Adult Co-Ed Kickball Association. Jason Mecler, the association's president, met the band members while they toured with Alice in Chains and said they're very personable and family friendly. Band members are lead vocalist Van Lugo, drummer Matt Brown and guitarist Neight, who goes by his first name.
"We love charity events," said Brown. "We're big supporters of helping people out and we do shows in Orlando for the homeless and (for) breast cancer patients. As long as it's worthwhile, we'll do anything we can to support the events we care about."
