ABOUT
Rockafairy began as a dream of founder Shane Ross to connect young musicians in need with instruments they could not afford, and first took shape through the donation of individual guitars in partnership with local shop Tom's Guitars. Through community support, Rockafairy now exists as a 501c(3) organization which operates a multifaceted community resource center in the Rogue Valley Mall providing tools, workspace and support to musicians and artists of all varieties, as well as a large, well-equipped space for community events.
