For two consecutive nights in December 2022 the punk and hardcore community gathered in Winston-Salem, NC to celebrate the life of John Rivera, who had tragically and untimely passed a few months earlier. Several of John’s favorite bands, some whom had not played for over a decade, reunited for John’s dream concert as a fundraiser for his wife and daughter. This film highlights the voices of just a few of John’s many friends and the music of Prayer for Cleansing, Catharsis, Undying, Codeseven, Azazel, Riot Stares and Funeral Chic.

Please consider contributing to the Cremation and Family Living Fund for John Rivera at the ongoing GoFundMe Site
