Fast becoming known as the place to teach kids how to rock - from the classroom to authentic concert stages - The Paul Green School of Rock will be giving the gift of rock to Monmouth County youth at The Children's Cultural Center in Red Bank.

Located within the cultural center at 51 Monmouth St., The Paul Green School of Rock Music Red Bank is preparing to officially open its doors Sept. 1.

But the celebration begins Saturday, July 8, when the school headlines an all-ages concert at Asbury Lanes, 209 Fourth Ave., in Asbury Park, to benefit the Children's Cultural Center. Showtime is 3 p.m. For tickets and information, call (732) 776-6160.

The School of Rock All Stars (ages 9-17) bring the gift of rock to capacity crowds of all ages, with the greatest classic rock hits from Zeppelin to Zappa.

According to a press release, The Paul Green School of Rock was the apparent inspiration for the Jack Black full-length hit comedy, "School of Rock," as well as the subject of "Rock School," a critically acclaimed documentary film

To date, Green's students have played over 1,500 concerts to more than 500,000 people at legendary venues around the world. The primary goal is to foster a new generation of incredible musicians by exposing the students to classic rock amid a stimulating, interactive school environment.
