Rock the Stax is a concert series occurring at Roxbury Library in Succasunna, New Jersey. The concert series was initiated in 2004 with the help of Steven Moskowitz and youth librarian, Diane Sebastian. Since the program’s inception, Rock the Stax has generated several thousand dollars for the library, the high school newspaper, and the high school band. The biggest milestone we achieved was when we admitted our 1,500th young person. The average attendance is about 150 people per event.
The concert has benefited many people.
