Rock On The House of Blues was shaking to the rafters when The Black Crowes as well as Fitz and the Tantrums exploded onto the stage for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay's annual Big Night event. Supporters (nearly 900 in total) did not fail in bringing rocker chic to the event, sporting floppy hats, boots, and leather pants. Special VIPs were greeted with an exclusive acoustic set by Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes. Revelers ate, drank, and danced until exhaustion set in while raising more than $2 million for the cause. Bianca de la Garza and Billy Costa hosted the event, which honored Sandy Edgerley for her philanthropic work as well as Chris Mitchell for his truly inspiring efforts as a big brother.
