Started by Michael Hertzner 11 years, 4 months ago
This year 104.9 WXRX announced that the Rockford area will not have the usual Concert/Show "Wing Ding" for the 2015 year due to some scheduling issues. Since I have become aware of this I have wanted to try to make this happen with local businesses and local music in an attempt to create a yearly event to help stimulate the local economy. My name is Michael "Ginger" Hertzner. Former 815 Local Jive Representative, Current Decadence Booking member, Local Music Scene Activist, Singer/Front man for Born Into Exile, Faith In Vain and Fully Loaded. This year I want to partner with local businesses and radio stations to make this possible for the Rockford Region. Let's make "Rockford Regional Mhsic Festival" Happen with LOCAL music instead. Remember, your favorite band was once a LOCAL band. Support local businesses and music as a scene! Unite!!!

The momentum is building but I am exhausted from the constant uphill battle to get this festival noticed. We are about to hit one hundred names and I need you to push this a little further so we can force them to take us seriously.

Rockford thrives on it's local art, music, and buisiness. I.can't think of a better way for it to all come together to celebrate the vision of our community. I would rather see any local band than see Buckcherry for the 100th time. Let's do this!

As a local food vendor I've been trying to promote this too. Call the Lyran Club and get partnered with them. They have a great private park. Anita Luna-AnJan's Eats

There is by far way to much Local Talent to let this event die. Everybody's favorite band was once just " local talent " . The Rockford area needs to step up and SUPPORT THEIR LOCAL BANDS !

Great idea! For your consideration, I'd like to mention that my band, Stroker Red would feel privileged to contribute. We are a hard-working outlaw country band that can hang with any rock or metal band. And we also have two gingers in the band, but don't hold that against us haha. Anyway, shameless plug over. Good luck with your efforts!!
