hello everyone, we miss you guys and plan to come back big in 2024!

Covid took a toll on us mentally, emotionally, amd financially. We were able to survive barely, but we made it through the other side.

This year we are actually going to be doing a Vet-Traxx road show in Fallon, NV.

2 of the bands are Vet-Traxx Project artists: Decipher Failure by Proxy

We will have a Vet-Traxx Project info booth at the event and hopefully we can reach more Veterans since Fallon is a Navy town!

We have decided to make the show free for all (21&up).

we look forward to seeing you again!

Is it 2022 yet?
We can’t wait to start gearing up for next year. We might be changing locations, many more updates to come.

As much as I hate to announce this, the 2021 Vet-Traxx Festival has been cancelled. There are so many moving parts required to host the show, and our sponsors have been hit hard financially during this pandemic.

This really sucks to announce and we had hoped we could get to navigate through this. Vet-Traxx Festival is about our Veterans, unity, and spreading the word about su***de awareness amongst our Veterans!

Who knows what the next year brings, we do miss you all! Remember, a friend is only a phone call away, you are never ALONE!

We are truly sorry, and we hope to see you next year!

Sincerely,
Eric Lewis
President - Vet-Traxx Project / Vet-Traxx Festival

We are still in the dark as to if Vet-Traxx Festival returns during 2021. We are seeing a lot of the festivals open up on the east coast, and we hope to see everyone again soon.

We cannot wait to see live music again!

Today would have markes the 4th annual Vet-Traxx Festival. Yes it is sad that it didn’t take place.

Bands all over our country just want to play, and are ready to hit the road.

I wanted to share lyrics from our friend Mr. Christopher Volz from FLAW

Lonely, left out
Distant, cast without
So shy, listless
Don't cry, we're gonna fix this
Just try to sympathize
You've had a hard road as it may seem
Cause I can see it all in your eyes
Hurt way more than you should be
If there was ever anything inside
They always thought that you were crazy
You just shoved it all down inside
It really shouldn't have to be this way
Cause everything is alright, it'll be okay
We're gonna make it through this
You gotta know we're all the same inside
It doesn't matter what the others might say
We never seem to simply run and hide
The cards are dealt, we're wired as we should be
You gotta find a way to empathize
I got your back although it might seem crazy
Follow through and find a way to rise
We stand tall and be the best we can be
Cause everything is alright, it'll be okay
We're gonna make it through this
Don't ever let anyone bring you down, no way
We're gonna break right through this
Just let those feelings come slowly
And your hurt will filter out
It's alright for you to show me
That's what this life is all about
Lonely, left out
So shy, listless
We're gonna fix this
Cause everything is alright, it'll be okay
We're gonna make it through this
Don't ever let anyone bring you down, no way
We're gonna break right through this
Cause everything is alright, it'll be okay
We're gonna make it through this
Don't ever let anyone bring you down, no way
We're gonna break right through this
Cause everything is alright, it'll be okay
We're gonna make it through this

So we are still here with you, thinking of all you music peeps that need live shows for the soul!

Next year is gonna be awesome!

Sooooooooooooooooooo here we go::::

It’s a funny story, we had went to a show many years ago, it was Ill Nino and 40 Below Summer playing a show in LA.

As a musician and a music lover, I was in awe watching Ill Nino slay the stage! I had met several of the guys before at random shows, but this was different! My scrawny ass got into the pit and my Ill Nino CD got cracked and when I asked Cristian to sign it after the show, he was like what’s up with the blood on the jewel case? I smiled, he smiled, autographed it.

Was an amazing night of brutal blood pumping music, and then fast forward many years....

Guess what kiddies? Yes, Cristian Machado has joined the ranks of bands to play Vet-Traxx Festival 2021!

Here’s the wiki: Cristian Machado born July 23, 1974[1] in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Brazilian musician, and is the former vocalist for the nu metal band Ill Niño[2] as well as a featured vocalist in the Roadrunner United project.[3] He has also played in Headclamp and La Familia, in addition to making numerous guest appearances on albums such as Sepultura's Nation, Soulfly's 3 and 40 Below Summer's The Mourning After.
