Rocking the Sunrise Side for a Cause!

📷Long Live Rock

A while ago, a few of us got together and collaborated on the idea of putting on a rock concert. The first year was mostly brainstorming so that by 2019 we were completely ready to put on a rock show with 8 bands!

Keeping the momentum going, it wasn't long after the 2019 Oscoda Rockfest that we started brainstorming about how to make 2020 an even bigger event. We are very pleased with the amazing line up of bands that will be coming together to rock out in Oscoda!

We believe the Michigan Music scene in Northeastern Michigan has been lacking in Original Modern Rock Music. We all know the Classic Rock sounds and have enjoyed that music for close to 50 years! This year 2020 is offering two days of Rock! For fans of Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Doors sounds from the 70’s through the 90’s we have put together a show for Friday August 7th that brings these sounds and style alive with fresh new music blended with classic rock! Our headliner for Friday is “We, The Infamous “ Based out of Saginaw, hard rock blues outfit We, The Infamous has made a big splash in the local Mid-Michigan music scene. Firing twin barrels of fully loaded rock’n’roll mixed with blistering gut-bucket blues, they have played a litany of venues showcasing their talents while keeping with the wild & rowdy tradition that is true rock. The guys draw on inspirations ranging from Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, & Stevie Ray Vaughn to newer influences like MGMT, Hozier, & Highly Suspect.

On Saturday August 8th Oscoda will come alive with the sounds of “ Modern Rock” sounds that are played on today's airways whether its Radio or Spotify or Pandora or any of your favorite music venues enjoyed today! We believe we have put together a lineup that will ROCK YOU! From the first band that takes the stage the show promises to build throughout the day! Bands like Kougaran from Detroit , Static Factory from the Flint area, Silverspork from Saginaw, Damned By Dawn, Assault The Silence from Northeast Michigan, Handsome Pete from the Lansing area returning headliner from last year Here After Six and this years headliner International recording artist Trapt!

Trapt is an American rock band formed in Los Gatos, California in 1995. It is best known for its chart-topping 2002 singles "Headstrong" and "Still Frame".[1] It consists of lead vocalist Chris Taylor Brown, bassist Peter "Pete" Charell, guitarist Brendan Hengle, and drummer Mike Smith. They have recorded seven studio albums to date: Amalgamation (1999), Trapt (2002), Someone in Control (2005), Only Through the Pain (2008), No Apologies (2010), Reborn (2013), and DNA (2016).
