"Tin roof, rusted!" 

If those words mean anything to you, get your "Love Shack" shimmying booty over to Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on Saturday.

The B-52s are headlining this year's Band Together NC benefit concert. 

If you aren't a fan of the B-52s, there are a few other bands on the bill - regional favorites Southern Culture on the Skids of Chapel Hill and Big Something of Burlington.

And if you needed any more of an incentive, the event is for a great cause. Proceeds go to the Urban Ministries of Wake County.

Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased at the Booth Amphitheatre box office from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. You can also order them through etix.com or by phone at 800-514-3849

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. 

Triangle-based Band Together NC raises funds and awareness for nonprofits through events that showcase and support musical talent.

The money from the benefit concert will go to help Urban Ministries' Open Door Clinic, which hosted 7,000 patient visits last year.

Check Out & About this weekend for pics from the event!
