Hey ProgStockers! We have a very important daily task for you until (and including) March 8, 2020. Please mark your calendars, or whatever you use to remind you to do something every day, to vote for ProgStock Festival (aka NicJoy Enterprises) in the FedEx Small Business Grant Contest, by clicking on the image below:

Vote! Share with others! Vote again! Share again! 😎

As it says in our profile at FedEx:

This valuable arts experience is created by a dedicated team of mostly volunteers and ticket sales only cover a portion of the costs required to bring this festival to life each year. The FedEx Small Business Grant Contest money and the free printing services would go a long way toward bridging the gap and provide us with printing services for our marketing materials. This is the only Progressive Rock Festival in the Northeast US and brings both arts and business to the Rahway community each year.

A ProgStock 5-Year Patron may select any available seat within our theater and reserve it for 5 years, starting with ProgStock 2020. Patrons receive a three-day pass to the festival and are also entitled to early access to the lobby on each day of the festival (about 30 minutes before others), first-in-line access to all artist meet-and-greet sessions, top-priority access to all late-night events, highly-valuable merchandise packages (unique to each festival, with loads of cool freebies from our festival merchandise and our artists), and an exclusive ProgStock 5-Year Patron badge.

Here’s what members of the first group of 5-Year Patrons have to say about their experiences:

“I fell in love with ProgStock the first time I attended, in 2018. This year, I decided to participate in the Patron level program in order to lend some help with funding future iterations, as it’s important to me that the festival continue at the high-quality level it has been thus far. Every year, the experience gets better as I meet or re-meet friends I’ve made at festivals/CTTE over the last five years – they’re like another set of family. The music experience at ProgStock is first-rate, with a great theater and surrounding community. It’s been a great way to keep progging in-between CTTEs.” –CK

“First, it was just incredible, in every way!! wow…Wow…WOW!! What a thrill to be there and see those incredible bands. I almost do not have sufficient words to describe how fantastic the entire experience was. What you do for us is beyond the pale, just amazing, and all the perks, are so awesome, and are just a small amazing part of being able to see those wonderful bands performing in person. Both last year and this year, combined, make for the best festivals I could ever have wished for!” –RH

ProgStock Festival, the American Northeast’s Only Progressive Rock Music Festival, will return for its fourth year in 2020, and will once again be held on Columbus Day Weekend, October 9-11, 2020, at the beautiful Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) at 1601 Irving Street, Rahway, New Jersey 07065.

ProgStock Festival was founded to give artists and fans in the genre of progressive rock a place to play and experience their favorite music in a great environment. ProgStock’s main stage will feature music that most radio hosts would find to be too long and too complex to play on-the-air. Dancing in 7/8, indeed, is left to fans who are accustomed to calculating high math in their heads. However, the festival presents a variety of rock that can be enjoyed by any music lover.

ProgStock Festival provides the artists, attendees and their families with a great place to share their talents and love for music in a family-friendly environment. Artists mingle with the fans and share experiences as well as music and art. The venue, a renovated vaudeville-era theater, provides everyone with a comfortable place to listen to the music with phenomenal sound. The City of Rahway provides everyone with a hub where they can enjoy the festival, enjoy great food and beverages, shop, relax and recover in a beautiful hotel room, and easily hop on a train from and to Newark International Airport or New York City.
