  • Rock from the Heart

    Rock from the Heart Featuring Arch Allies & Aortic Fire 

    A Concert for Aortic Health Awareness

    Rock from the Heart brings the music—and the mission—together for a night of high-energy rock and real impact.

    Arch Allies will deliver the legendary sounds of Styx, Journey, REO Speedwagon, and more, while Rock from the Heart’s own house band, Aortic Fire, brings a performance that hits close to home. Together, it’s a full night of arena-style rock with a purpose.

    This event is part of Rock from the Heart’s ongoing work to raise awareness and provide education around aortic and heart valve disease—conditions that often go undetected until it’s too late. Through music, shared stories, and community connection, we’re helping people better understand their risk, know their family history, and feel supported every step of the way.
